Most masters choose to let go of the physical bodies, yet will appear when needed.
In The Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhamsa Yogandaa speaks several time of his Guru Sri Yukteswar visiting him after Yukteswar had left the physical body.
And, i guess after 800 years or so Noah decided to leave his physical body.
One thing to real-eyes is that Yes & No are relative only in duality, which is not real reality (Unity). The mind is part of duality, so cannot compute non-logical answers. This is where the choice of deciding to believe in something (for now), or not, comes in. And remaining open to all possibilities.
Does it mean what we believe is what happens?
More or less, yes.
i would say; what we think about most of the time is what we attract to us. The continuous thinking scribes those thoughts into the subconscious mind, which is where deep beliefs reside, and from where most of our actions spring.
And our actions determines how our life turns out. 🤔 Wow this thing is really real. Then I'm going to work my way to be eternal
i can suggest a couple of books to go deeper if you like (and send them as pdf's)
The Presence Process being one of them.
i imagine a game to dis-cover Utopia, with many different entrances (Cause Groups), so Players (who learn and earn as they play) can choose whatever they are most attracted to. By playing the game together in teams (using a particular consensus mechanism to make team decisions), teams are able to earn & raise funds for the Cause Group they have joined.
Very interesting strategy 🤔
