Death is the master plan. You must go. Then they can mine you for experience and data. Clean those sticky memories away and make your spirit the meat in a sperm/egg sandwich. Have these gods no lives of their own? They set up our genre's watch us like we are TV. Then finally kill us and re-cycle the soul-vibration energies for a sequel. This is the real reason for the difficulty for breaking out of this life-death cycle. Lots of safe guards to keep you trapped inside it.
You go into dream-state now that your dead. For what would be a few hundred years in your former life you spin in a warm wash of vibratory fluids. You dream variations of your former life. You dream out a million story's to feed the collective unconscious with vital nutrients.
