What if death isn’t an ending, but a return?

A reflection for anyone feeling lost in a divided world, searching for what truly matters.

What if every soul you’ve ever loved,  every smile, every goodbye, still exists within you, living another version of the same story?

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how divided the world feels.

No one seems to be listening to each other anymore.

Everyone’s shouting opinions but few are asking questions.

We’re carrying the weight of an unprecedented cost of living, the constant tug-of-war of politics, and a growing crisis in mental health that quietly touches almost everyone I meet.

It’s hard to simply be human right now, to exist with gentleness in a world that feels so loud.

That’s why I felt compelled to share this.

Not to convince or convert, but to remind you, and maybe myself too, of who we truly are beneath all the roles, opinions, and responsibilities we carry.

I first came across a short story called The Egg, and it completely reshaped how I understood life, death, and consciousness. It wasn’t just an idea; it felt like truth.

As a psychic medium, I’ve spent years witnessing the continuation of spirit firsthand, yet this story articulated something I had only ever sensed intuitively: that we are not separate souls, but one consciousness experiencing itself through countless lives.

In this article, I’ll share my reimagined version of The Egg, a story that might help you remember what love, unity, and existence truly mean.

You’ll also see how this idea of oneness connects to mediumship, reincarnation, ghosts, and the quiet comfort of knowing we will always reunite with the souls, and animals, we’ve loved most.

If you’re curious what it feels like to connect with spirit, you can learn what to expect from a session with me, or click here to book your reading now.

Read to the very end, because once you understand The Egg, you’ll never see life, death, or love the same way again.

The Egg: A Story of Oneness and Eternal Love (Retold by Chris Bennett)

A timeless story reimagined, about love that never ends, and a soul that never truly dies.

You awaken in a hush that feels endless.

No breath. No heartbeat. No body, only the soft awareness of being.

From the stillness, a presence emerges, steady, radiant, and kind. It doesn’t need to introduce itself. You know it, somehow. It feels like the part of you that has always known peace.

“Where am I?” you ask, your voice carrying through the quiet.

“You’ve passed from one life into the next,” the presence says gently. “Your body is complete. But you, the real you, remain.”

You look around and see no walls, no sky, no horizon. Only light, vast and breathing. “So what happens now?”

The presence responds with a calm warmth that seems to move through you. “You’ll return. You’ll live again. And again. In time, you’ll live every life that has ever been lived or will be lived.”

You blink, searching for logic. “That can’t be possible.”

“Oh, but it is,” the voice answers, calm and sure. “Every kindness you’ve offered, every harm you’ve caused, you’ve felt it all before.

You are not separate from anyone. Every joy and sorrow you’ve known belongs to one shared soul, seen through different eyes.”

Your thoughts spiral. “Then what’s the purpose of it all?”

“The universe,” the presence says, “is like an egg, a place for your spirit to grow.

Each life teaches compassion, forgiveness, and love.

When you have lived every experience, every moment of birth and loss, every victory, every silence, you will be ready to be born anew, into what I am.”

The air shifts. You can feel the truth of it resonating through you like music.

Every mother’s prayer, every child’s laughter, every act of mercy, all of it rippling within the same great heart.

You realize then that nothing has ever been wasted. No love forgotten. No goodbye final.

Every soul you’ve known is another expression of you, guiding you toward remembrance.

The stillness deepens until it feels sacred.

The light hums softly around you, and within it, you sense the presence’s quiet recognition, a feeling of deep understanding that radiates through every part of you.

“All that remains,” it murmurs, “is love.”

If We’re All One Soul, How Can Mediumship Be So Specific?

If every soul is connected, how do mediums still bring through such unique details?

This question comes up often in readings: If all souls are one, how can you connect to one specific person in spirit and share such deeply personal details?

To understand this, imagine consciousness as a vast ocean, endless, interconnected, alive.

Every wave in that ocean is made of the same water, yet each moves with its own rhythm, carries its own reflection, and leaves its own trace on the shore.

Mediumship is the ability to recognize the unique pattern of one wave within that great expanse, to feel its frequency, its movement, its memory.

When I connect with someone who has passed, I work through evidential mediumship, the sacred practice of blending my energy with the distinct vibration of a soul.

Each spirit communicates through recognizable signs: their personality, humor, voice, shared memories, scents, symbols, or the energy that defined them in life.

That individuality doesn’t disappear when they cross over; it simply becomes more refined, more radiant, more true.

The oneness of consciousness doesn’t erase identity, it perfects it.

Within the great whole, each soul remains beautifully distinct, like a note in an eternal symphony.

Mediumship allows us to hear that note again, clear, familiar, and filled with love.

What About Ghosts and Spirits That Linger?

They’re not trapped, they’re simply learning to communicate in a new way.

Ghosts are not lost souls or trapped energies, they’re consciousness that hasn’t yet fully merged back into the greater whole.

They linger for deeply human reasons: love, protection, unfinished emotions, or a simple desire to be acknowledged.

Often, they stay close because they care.

In my experience, as shared in Signs from Spirit: How Loved Ones Reach Through the Veil, these presences are far more loving than frightening.

They use energy as language, a flicker of light when you’re lost in thought, a sudden scent that carries memory, a song that plays at the perfect moment, or the feeling of being gently watched over when you need comfort most.

Each moment is their way of saying, “I’m still here. You’re not alone.”

These experiences remind us that consciousness doesn’t end, it expands, often bridging the distance between dimensions through vibration, emotion, and memory.

Think of it like standing in a doorway between worlds: one foot still in the physical, the other stepping into light.

They haven’t gone anywhere. They’re simply adjusting, learning how to communicate in a new form while you learn how to listen in a new way.

Will My Loved One Reincarnate Without Me?

The most common question in mediumship, and the one love always answers.

This question comes up often, and I understand why.

The thought of being left behind or forgotten is heartbreaking.

But fear never comes from love; it’s a form of control, a way our human mind tries to manage what it can’t fully grasp.

The truth is simple: your loved one will not move on without you.

Time in spirit doesn’t unfold in straight lines the way it does here.

It’s not measured by clocks or calendars; it exists all at once.

Your loved one’s soul can continue to expand, experience, and learn while still being completely present with you.

As I shared in Life After Death: 8 Questions Everyone Asks, consciousness doesn’t travel away, it widens.

Reunion is certain, because separation is only a temporary illusion of the physical world.

When you speak their name, they feel it.

When you dream of them, they’re with you.

When a sign appears at just the right time, a song, a feather, a flicker of light, that’s not coincidence or imagination. It’s resonance.

Love never disappears. It doesn’t wait, it doesn’t wander, it simply shifts form and continues, always finding its way back to you.

Do Animals Have Souls Too?

Their loyalty doesn’t end at death, it only deepens.

Yes, and their love is among the purest expressions of the divine.

Animals experience consciousness in a different but deeply connected way. They operate without ego, living purely in presence.

In countless sessions, I’ve felt the energy of pets come forward, wagging tails, purrs, the thump of familiar paws.

As I’ve written about in The Dragonfly Story: Grief and Spiritual Healing, signs from loved ones, human or animal, often appear when we’re most in need of reassurance.

These aren’t coincidences; they’re gentle confirmations that love never ends.

Your pets, just like your people, continue alongside you, loyal, luminous, and waiting at the edge of your dreams.

So What’s the Point of It All?

A wake-up call about what really matters, and what you can’t take with you.

If The Egg teaches anything, it’s that empathy is the entire reason we exist, not achievement, not recognition, not wealth.

Every lifetime is a lesson in compassion, offering countless opportunities to see yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand their pain, their hope, their story.

We live in a world that often rewards the wrong things, power, appearance, profit, yet none of those will follow us when we leave this life.

You don’t bring your money, your home, or your possessions to the other side.

What you do bring is how you made others feel.

The kindness you gave freely. The patience you showed when it was hard. The love you chose, even when it wasn’t returned.

I’ve always tried to treat everyone equally, because at the soul level, there’s no hierarchy.

Every person you meet, whether they lift you or challenge you, is a mirror showing you something about yourself. How you respond determines what your spirit learns next.

So ask yourself: what are you here to learn? What would life feel like if you led with empathy instead of judgment? If you looked at others and thought, that could be me?

As I often remind clients in my spiritual readings, awakening isn’t about becoming something new, it’s about remembering what you already are: a soul capable of extraordinary compassion, humility, and love.

Carry that truth with you, because it’s the only thing that lasts.

Final Reflection

Heaven isn’t a destination, it’s something we build through love.

When we die, we don’t vanish, we expand. We return to a consciousness vast enough to hold every version of love we’ve ever known.

Nothing is lost; it simply transforms.

The Egg reminds us that heaven isn’t some distant realm, it’s a state of awareness.

It’s what happens when we finally begin to see ourselves in everyone we meet, when compassion overrides ego, and when love becomes our first instinct instead of our last resort.

Every act of kindness, every genuine moment of understanding, builds that heaven here and now.

No soul is ever lost. No bond ever breaks. And when your time comes to cross, you’ll recognize every familiar face, because they’ve never truly left.

They’ve always been part of you.
