It was a painless death.

The medics tried their best to save you, but to no avail.

Your body was so utterly shattered, you were better off, trust me.
7
And that's when you met me.
8
What happened?
9
Where am I?
10
You died, I said, matter-of-factly.
11
No point in mincing words.
12
There was.. there was a truck, and it was skidding.
13
Yes.
14
I...
15
I died.
16
Yes.

There was nothingness.
21
Just you and me what is this place is this the afterlife more or less are you god yes i'm god
22

23
You just died and your main concern is for your family.
24
That's good stuff right there.
25
You looked at me with fascination.
26
To you, I didn't look like God.
27
I just looked like some man or possibly a woman.
28
Some vague authority figure maybe.
29
Don't worry, I said.

They'll be fine.

Oh, so what happens now?

Do I go to heaven or hell or something?
38
Neither.
39
You'll be reincarnated.
40
Ah!
41
So the Hindus were right.
42
All religions are right in their own way.
43
Walk with me.
44
You followed along as we strode through the void. Where are we going?
45
Nowhere in particular.
46
It's just nice to walk while we talk.
47
So, what's the point then?
48
When I get reborn, I'll just be a blank slate, right?
49
A baby.
50
So, all my experiences and everything, everything I did in this life, won't matter.
51
Not so.
52
You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives.
53
You just don't remember them right now.
54
I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders.
55
Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful and gigantic than you can possibly imagine.
56
A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are.
57
It's like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it's hot or cold.
58
You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you've gained all the experiences it had.
59
You've been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven't stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness.
60
If we hung out here for long enough, you'd start remembering everything.
61
But there's no point to doing that between each life.
62
How many times have I been reincarnated then?
63
Oh, lots.
64
Lots and lots.
65
And into lots of different lives.
66
This time around you'll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.
67
Wait, what?
68
You're sending me back in time?
69
Well, I guess technically.
70
Time as you know it only exists in your universe.
71
Things are different where I come from.
72
Where.. where you come from?
73
Oh sure, I come from somewhere, somewhere else, and there are others like me.
74
I know you'll want to know what it's like there, but honestly, you wouldn't understand.
75
Oh, you said, a little let down.
76
But wait, if I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.
77
Sure, happens all the time.
78
And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan, you don't even know it's happening.
79
So, what's the point of it all?
80
I looked you in the eye.
81
The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.
82
You mean mankind?
83
You want us to mature?
84
No, just you.
85
I made this whole universe for you.
86
With each new life, you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.
87
Just me?
88
What about everyone else?
89
There is no one else.
90
In this universe, there's just you and me.
91
You stared blankly at me.
92
But all the people on Earth?
93
All you, different incarnations of you of you.
94
Wait, I'm everyone.
95
Now you're getting it.
96
I'm every human being who ever lived.
97
Or who will ever live, yes.
98
I'm Abraham Lincoln.
99
And you're John Wilkes Booth too.
100
I'm Hitler, you said, appalled.
101
And you're the millions he killed.
102
I'm Jesus.
103
And you're everyone who followed him.
104
You fell silent.
105
Every time you victimized someone, you were victimizing yourself.
106
Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself.
107
Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was or will be experienced by you.
108
You thought for a long time.
109
Why?
110
Why do all this?
111
Because someday you will become like me.
112
Because that's what you are.
113
You're one of my kind.
114
You're my child.
115
Wow, you said incredulous.
116
You mean, I'm a god?
117
No, not yet.
118
You're a fetus.
119
You're still growing.
120
Once you've lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.
121
So the whole universe, it's just...
122
an egg, I answered.
123
Now it's time for you to move on to your next life.
124
And I sent you on your way.
125
Thank you.
126
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
