Finality.

If you continue delving into identifying the currents of force your being seeks to balance here, you may find more reason to hang about a little bit longer. After all, look at all the energy expenditure you have invested in getting to the point of self awareness you are at now.

So, maybe it comes down to having an investment strategy? Should I buy, sell, or hang tight?

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. I've been considering that consciously for a bit of time, and in my dreams I've had a few experiences that touches on that subject. I feel that my personality aspect of being, or rather who I am in just this lifetime, is now at peace with everything in the past. When I am more in tune with my overall essence, I feel nothing but peace and clarity of the whole lifetime. I am convinced, after much meditation on my connections to those closest to me, that I do not really want to pursue anything further, or elongate any time spent with relationships here. Not in a cold/distant way, but with a loving/knowing that we've all done this many times before, and that death will always shake peoples' core no matter what they believe (some grieve for a few months, some for a whole lifetime). That is completely up to the individual soul (not speaking of the person they are in this life) to determine whether or not the personality will be able to handle deaths of loved ones smoothly or with much pain...before incarnation, everything is planned for.

Something very interesting happened to me last night at work.

I was patrolling around the clubhouse at my job, and found a fortune cookie paper on the floor. Just before I found it, I was in the middle of thinking about the message I received (first post), and just kind of letting those thoughts flow. The fortune said, "The mystical is not how the world is, but that it is." I thought that was kind of cool, but the back of the fortune really jumped up at me. The back of the fortune has a Chinese word which is translated into English. It said..

"deng" = To wait.

At that moment, I was mainly thinking about whether I should be doing anything before my time to leave this incarnation rolls around. This was simply a confirmation for me, because I already believe that there is nothing left I must seek to do. I will continue to help others when the moment seems appropriate, and continue to simply be at peace, and balance my inner self as I dance through the days. The day of departure is unknown, no matter how close I may feel it is. Until then...I "deng."
