The person you were was not a delusion. Everything you knew is not a lie: there were an educational means to bring you to this point. Sometimes one must be broken down completely to realize they were complete all along. It is a matter of shifting and expanding perspectives: the two dimensional object is not limited because it cannot perceive the third dimension; but once that 2D object becomes 3D it will think it's previous "life" was all wrong and a lie, when really it was preschool; learning what it needed to move up an octave.
You have moved up an octave; keep climbing, there appears to be no end; life has just begun, for all of us. Every breath is Creation.
Fear, belief, love phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. We cross and recross our old paths like figure skaters; our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
