I would say that losing one's identity into oneness is one of the things occurring while other things going on is that our individual identity is moving on to other lessons... while at the same time our individual identities are sharing their light with other souls. I understand there is so much more than just sitting on a cloud for eternity. Each aspect of God is its own thought that goes where it goes. It is different from other thought as it is coming from its unique perspective and still it is all part of the mind of the light.
