Answer from Coreen:
It is the belief that we are a body that binds us to the reincarnation wheel. We must awaken from this belief while we believe we are in a body. Otherwise, it is an intellectual concept and is not a Knowing. It’s a bit like saying you understand what parachuting out of an airplane is like because someone has described it to you but you haven’t actually done it.
The in-between lifetimes will reveal more to us, yet the final awakening only occurs when we have zero desire to be separate or to be special, and we desire to use the body only for communication. I will add, however, that if two brothers in the dream are capable of perfect forgiveness, then the one mind would awaken and all aspects of creation—embodied or not—would awaken also.
This answer is based on Jesus’ instructions in the Course and I hope it proves helpful.
