Saint said:
So, do we still live when our bodies cease functioning?
Yeah, the life, the sense of a self continues existing. It's just your current body and person which dies, you will get a new body. You might have children, they will exist after you die, and they will create new children, and the self will exist in all of them, and you "are" this self. The thing is that you are only aware of a small part of the self yet, which is "saint", but after you die, you will get a new body and become aware of that new upgraded body.
After you've lived through life in countless bodies and experienced the world from their viewpoint, you will no longer feel as though you are located in a specific body. The self exists everywhere at the same time, just like
God, because it is
God.
There is only one Being, and every person, every animal, every plant, and also every planet, every sun is only the instrument of this single being by which it reveals itself. How many Who would there be?
The same self speaks through my mouth as it speaks through your mouth and all living beings. The only difference is that every living being does not know this "self" completely this, so neither can they reveal all of its qualities (just compare rocks, plants, animals, humans, "Christ"... All of them are limited because of their bodies except the Christ in which the body has reached the same level as the "self")
The self doesn't need to evolve, it is already complete, only the body (and person) needs to, so that it can express the self more precisely. I'm sure you would want that the world would become a Paradise right now, that shows that the self is all-loving and complete.
Is it possible I will meet my mother again after i die?
Many people believe that's what happens. Anything could be possible. If there's true love between people, they will meet again, in future lives. But in the future lives we usually have no memory of our past lives, just as you now don't have memory of the people you loved so much in your past lives.
