Part of us instinctively believes and knows that some aspect of our personal awareness survives the death of our physical bodies. The Egyptian book of the dead and the Tibetan book of the dead have perhaps explained these things in the greatest detail. They recognize that the nonphysical energy patterns which we carry within us continue on after the death of our physical bodies. Energy is never destroyed but can be altered and reused.

What happens after the death of our physical bodies is dependent upon our own sense of self and whether we identify ourselves as a soul or as a physical body. Let’s take the example of a beloved pet. Our pet does not have a strong sense of self or identity but it loves us with all its heart. After the death of our pet that love will find its way to us once more in the form of another pet. The heart love has been reborn and reincarnated into a new physical body. Our new pet is different in personality but the love in its heart for us is the same. We often recognize the energy is the same.

The average person identifies with their physical body and thinks of themselves only as a physical body. Their ego and sense of self is bound together with that physical body. At the death of their physical body the bonds tying the ego or sense of self to the physical body are broken and since there is no sense of self or ego independent of the physical body only the karma continues on to the next physical incarnation. The karma continues, but the sense of identity and the sense of self, personal awareness does not. They simply wake up as another person in another body with the need to live out the karma which they carry with them. The energy continues, the awareness does not.

The person who identifies with their soul, Observer self or true ego is able to hold a portion of personal awareness together upon the dissolution of the physical body. This is termed the reincarnating ego or higher self and it chooses an appropriate lifetime for reincarnation. Personal awareness or individual awareness is not transferred into the new lifetime but higher self awareness and the shadow awareness are transmitted as unconscious knowledge and wisdom. The energy is transmitted through the unconscious.

A person who is able to permanently activate any of the seven astral bodies during a lifetime continues to function within those astral bodies after the death of their physical body. They may or may not choose to incarnate into a new physical body. If they do choose to incarnate into a new physical body they often experience bleed through of past life memories and events. The more astral bodies that were permanently activated, the more perfect the transfer of past life awareness into the new lifetime.
