Let's imagine your body died. Your spirit lived on. After a brief period of time

to get over the shock, an entity/deity, somebody comes and has a meeting with you. You are given choices of what your spirit could possibly do next.
What were your choices? Which choice did you choose and why?
Don't read this next part unless you can't think of anything.
Your choices could be anything: angel, guardian angel, reincarnated as ___________, ghost, Leprochon, Syren, Mermaid, Thor, a deity, cat, dog, whatever. Likewise your choice could be anything. Your reasons could be anything.

I know you do.
I think I will love retired life, or semi-retired, when I get some kind of cont. income.

I'd want some of my friends, some of my family, and my husband to somehow be with me, but not this life again.

Ah, so you would be a migratory bird. Canada, various places throughout the USA, down as far as even Mexico maybe or are you in Europe? Either way, you could stow away on a ship and try a new continent. You might get lonely if you did that, might not be any birds just like you on the new continent.

sounds like a fun version of an afterlife. I love audio books, but I also like reading them myself. Thanks and take care.

Yeah, I often think that when someone picks an animal. How do they know that they'll end up in a good family and not with some sickos?
So what crafts and books do you want to be left with?

I would like to be an angel. I would like to be an angel so that I can come back and help out my family and those other people that are in need. I would like for that to me by purpose as an angel to help those in need. But if that were to happen I would want my family to recognize me and know that I am okay and that they are protected.

You know what you bring up a lot of interesting facts about moderation. It's true maybe I would do it incognito because I wouldn't want to be blamed for things that happened even though I tried my hardest to help or I couldn't help at all.

Well we each know our families. Maybe yours would realize that there is only one of you and to be careful anyway.
I have quite an imagination for seeing a long way down the road for possible results of actions. It helps in a family like mine. Now if they were just a little more like that. . ..

Anything! That's too many choices, Mam. I would have to say a ghost. Why? Because my daughter is very into such things and it would be cool to come back and have the opportunity to see them and help them (her and grandkids) through which I think will be a hard time.

I was thinking similarly, guardian angel to my family. But now that you mention it, my husband is into ghosts and I think if I left first, he would have a hard time. But if he went first, I'd have a hard time. I'm hoping we go at the same time.

hi writersedge,
I would like to be a fairy!
Like "tinkerbell" or "thumbelina". I like to be really small and with pretty wings so that I can fly anywhere and hide too. hihi!

Hi Danity Kane,
Ah, I was wondering if someone was going to come up with one I hadn't listed.
Flying around, getting to see things. Flittering from place to place, seclude yourself. All the things you would hear and see. The darting from place to place, neat. That would be a fun request. Thanks and take care.

I would like to be either a very well loved pet dog - big for preference or a woman. I admire women's strength, sense of community, friendships and ability to empathise in a way that many men simply do not and maybe cannot. I have no desire to be anything more - that is remarkable enough! Maybe next time round.

That's such a wonderful tribute to both beloved pets and the women you've known in your life. Thank you very much for responding. Have a wonderful day.

Well, I don't believe in reincarnation, spirits, after life, etc., but taking it as a game, I think I would choose to be reborn as someone or some animal with an easy, long and happy life

Well, like I said, imagination, so it's an imagination game.
Any particular person or animal in mind?
Thanks and take care.

Well I don't believe in reincarnation as you have it there, but I can still tell you what I would like to say to probably what would be an angel. First, let me explain. The Holy Bible says those that commit to Christ will have a new body upon resurrection and that they will rule and reign with Christ as per Rev. 20.
One thing that starts that 1000 reign is that the nation of Israel commits to Christ. They sincerely repent and wail and weep over their error(s)(see the last chapters of Zechariah). So, what I would request is to be assigned to Israel to help minister to the new Jewish converts. I would love that.

Hi PastorP,
That's a big task you would request, even for a powerful angel.
When I was considering angels, I thought of guardian angel for a member of my family or for my family in general. I didn't think of for an entire Nation or group of people.
I know many will not believe in the different posibilities here, but there are many different faiths and I did not want to leave anyone out. People at Mylot have incredible imaginations and many think of things that I would never think of, as did you.
Have a nice day and take care.

If i will be lucky to get incarnated i would love be a migratory bird. I can roam from one beautiful place to another during weather changes. So that i can enjojy the beauty of nature of many places during my lifetime. People love to see migratory birds coming from far away. So by becoming a migratory bird,i want to feel how people enjoy by looking my beautiful colorful body,my wings my beak. At that time i'll feel proud of myself. I will be free to do anything when i'll be a bird,unlike people who suffer in this world of corruption and violence. My life as a bird, will be very peaceful,with harmony and full of romance.

i do believe in reincarnation (or just hope it exists?) but i also believe that in your next life you are always surrounded by the same people that are close to you. not necesserily in the same relationships, but you are still together. i think this is hinduism in its very basics... i think is a good thing to believe in, it's calming in a way...

Ok, that's your beliefs and that's great, so what would your choices be? To be the Father instead of the son or the son instead of the father or the mother instead of the daughter or the daughter instead of the son? So which people would be there and which different relationships would you have? What does your imagination give you for details when the one speaks to you about your choices and your decision?
