Great explanation. Our consciousness never ends. We keep it when we die and we transcend into a higher dimension. When we are reborn, we forget. Well most of us. There are thousands of cases of children remembering past lives with exact detail. An impossibility if reincarnation is not real.
God, aka source, was an infinite, near infinite, potential of energy. In order to experience life, it manifests in the third dimension which has rules and limitations. This is how God experiences itself. Without limitation as the total sum of all possibility, it's like having a game without rules. Anything and all things can happen at once.
It's important to have as many perspectives on life as possible so that source, God, can experience itself from as many unique perspectives as possible.
In the end life is a game and it should be treated as such. Though there are repercussions for playing a certain way.
