The Meaning of Life as a Planetary Life Form

One of the full sensory visions I had while on Ayahuasca was truly bizarre. I was transported to a floating space high above the clouds as if I was experiencing my own afterlife as a bodiless soul just floating by these different planet-like mass forms of life… One was made up of just eyes, another had more human characteristics, but not of just one, of many humans and another one was made up of plants.  They seemed very friendly and I felt humbled in their presence, so much so that any questions I had for them seemed to have already been answered through gestures like winking. I thought that perhaps this is where we go when we die and that everyone will truly be in for a serious surprise.

Later I discovered that angels, as written about in the Bible, are not at all the way we depict them, and perhaps these strange massive floating life forms I was looking at were angels, or at least something that we are destined to become a part of? I also see this form as a representation for our planet, that it truly is a living, breathing organism and we and everything else are apart of it. When we do harm to anything on it, we're harming ourselves…  That's the general understanding that many come to when experiencing Ayahuasca. It's just that everyone's visions are unique to them.
