I like to think the "egg theory" is onto something and perhaps the suffering that comes with this experience is part of the process.

I doubt enlightenment exists or is a healthy goal.

I hope reincarnation isnt real especially after seeing the sheer magnitude and intensity of suffering and trauma humans and other creatures can endure here.

I really hope death is the end but I also like to think there’s a certain energy to consciousness that we haven’t been able to fully observe or measure yet.

I’d say I believe in higher dimensional beings before any “god” type beings (like a human-ant relationship or a human-bacteria relationship).

Either way since I’m not an experimental physicist I don’t want those ideas/beliefs affecting my day-to-day in any way.
