Exactly so, many do believe that God/alien connection. Many cultures world wide. Fine line, religion and science....
I feel like we're on earth to learn and grow and hopefully have fun and love while we're at it...it's possible
our future selves might be setting up self help programs (life cycles) to guide us into something a lot better than we have now.
What do you think of that?
I definitely believe humanity is always in a transitional process. sadly however, those whose intent on being a better person is washed out by those who don't think of others. but this could also be due to psychological disorders/mental illnesses.
example:
recent gun violence and then learning the shooters are mentally ill.
but even aside from mental illness, there are people who just don't want to be a part of making life better as a whole.
another issue is extreme religious idealisms that separates us. I for one believe the intent of following a deity is to ultimately become a better person. you admit you are flawed and then follow an example that helps you replace bad habits with better positive ones. and this actually works until your religion is about killing others. so there becomes a fine line in interpretation.
example:
Yeshua ate, slept, and kept company with people considered undesirable which included sinners. but many people who follow Yeshua, actually condemn the very people that Yeshua would have spent His time with. so, they clearly do not understand what Yeshua's intent was.
now for your question of better life cycles:
technology-science-medical advancements are incredible. we are living longer, we can educate ourselves better, our resources through technology is limitless, and scientifically we are asking better questions for a better tomorrow [science has spent more time debating scripture and our beginnings than figuring out what will help us become better tomorrow].
but the combo of science-technology-medical advancements has the potential to create ways to continue past death. I see that AI's [artificial intelligence] are more life like than when it first appeared like a sweeper/vacuum. and cloning has made tremendous strides.
my biggest concern though, is I believe in the soul. which I feel creates a portion of who each one of us actually is. it's the unexplainable tangible. and once we die, I am not sure how we could capture the soul to add to our AI/clone. but then again, that is where my faith separates reality from the what ifs.
but, if we could capture the soul, then I feel my genetic code for an AI/clone would be a truer extension of who I am right this very moment in the coming future.
