I believe that when we die we return to our original state which is pure love, no more words or symbolisms. In fact I venture to say that nothing we see is actually real at all but only reflections of light that merely answer to the false collective ego that has "death" as its goal, its god, its idea of salvation. A matrix of fantasy is really nothing at all and cannot effect reality at all. This world is just a literal nightmare. We have forgotten that we hold the key to Heaven's gate through forgiveness.
