Earth is like a classroom, everyone has a test along with free choice. You can crumble it up and throw it in the trash, make an airplane and fly it out the window, or put some effort into it and pass. In death you once again realize your place in the universe you know all your reincarnation and can experience nothing but truth (love and humor). You can also "die" while alive, its a process of surrendering to spirit through grace and to BE instead of think.
