..And what about cats?
Current mood: Sad
I think I believe in the eternal soul, be it human, dog, cat or a beetle. I had this very interesting discussion with a cyber friend today about the soul. But, alas, we didn’t come to any conclusions. Just more questions, like if the soul is eternal, exactly what in it passes on (to the next life, a person or heaven or whatever you believe)? Once I went to some psychic who claimed he could “read” my past lives. So he started to tell me about various different persons, and apparently I had been some sort of judge who wasn’t very liked because he wasn’t fair or kind or something. Don’t really remember now, long time ago, but the point is.. If that was my soul what in it has something in common with my soul today? Now, I don’t want to get on a high horse and claim I’m the world’s most perfect person, because I’m not. I’ll just get up on a little pony and say that I do have high ideals, and that you should be kind to others and I try to be a good person.
Then there’s the interesting thought about if my soul would, let’s say in a hundred years from now, decide it wanted to know more about its past lives and go back through hypnosis or whatever and find me here today. What would that person think of me? Would it feel connected somehow to me? Or would it feel like I did with that judge, that that’s not me at all. But if everyone get their own unique soul, where do they come from. Is there a thought behind the creation of a soul or is it just random? Which brings us to the question, why does a soul have to suffer?
Like I said, one question just leads to another.
