I don't know what to think about the idea of fragmented souls, but it certainly gives one food for thought. I tend to think of the soul as being indivisible and indestructible, but I wonder how much this has been influenced by others? Neoplatonist thinking teaches us the soul is immortal and...

My head just exploded an infinite number of times, and I was drinking a triple latte!!

It would take more than just coffee for me to really, truly, grasp the mechanics of how time operates! I'd need a brain transplant, or some other really neat, freakish, Frankenstein-type science-fiction scenario, to wrap my mind around what's very probably fact, not fiction.

No, I've never noticed dormant skills, I've got enough trouble with the one talent I was born with! Stress is great, isn't it? I've always wondered, though, about this. Interesting topic, Azure! I wonder how many people go through life without realizing dormant skills? I seem to have a major...

Thank you, dking777, thank you, nightrain, the links you both gave me were excellent!!

I would want to know......absolutely nothing. I'll be happy to die and cross over to whatever waits on the other side.

Can anyone recommend a good website that deals with NDEs? I've found a few sites myself, but they all seem to be more focused on the pseudo-scientific side of NDEs, they don't offer any real scientific evidence to support NDEs.Metaphysics is fine for entertainment, but it seriously hurts the...

For a long time, I couldn't reconcile reincarnation with religion, or spirituality. I couldn't distinguish religion from spirituality, and reincarnation confused the issue for me. I knew, in my heart, the truth of reincarnation, I knew reincarnation was an incontrovertible fact, just as I knew...

But stardis, not everyone who's had a near-death-experience has reported experiencing love and joy. Some have only had the experience of being in hell, or observing hell. Some people tell of seeing heaven and hell, the vast majority tell of seeing only heaven, but some people report being only...

I don't think imagination is free of ego, I think ego figures very prominently in using imagination. You can dream of a fantasy land, or a new and useful product, but in both cases, you're using the same process to envision these things, and ego figures just as prominently in both. A person...

For me, imagination and fantasy are the same thing. Some people can distinguish between the two, but as far as I'm concerned, they're just playing word games. I like what Wooger thinks on the subject, I just don't agree with him.

Your post really spoke to me, Isabella, especially the last paragraph. I agree wholeheartedly with what you wrote.

I sure hope we never develop time travel technology. We're not nearly mature or intelligent enough to use it responsibly.

Yes, msmir, but bits and pieces of the traumatic memory may leak through until the person is ready to confront the memory in it's entirety. This leaking of bits and pieces of traumatic memories is the mind's way of preparing to face the trauma, although a person can, even after technically being...

Mimic, meditation is a great tool to helping you remember, so would be seeing a hypnotherapist in order to be regressed. However, if you never recall any past lives, don't let it bother you. Not everyone does recall a past life. Maybe you have no need to recall a past life.

Thank you for sharing that, Nightrain, it was...unique. I don't have the right words to express everything I'm feeling right now, after reading that dialogue. It's exactly what I needed to read at this point in my life, trying to recover from so much negativity and hatred towards anything...

Whether I reincarnate as a male or female in the next life, as long as I don't recall this life I'll be happy! Switching genders is an idea I first encountered when I saw the movie "Dead Again". At the time, I was a little disturbed by the possibility of switching genders. Now, I'm comfortable...

Hi, SoulBuffet! A very interesting topic! I'm still wrapping my mind around the idea of 'soul time'. I want to remain open-minded on the subject, though I personally hold no beliefs for or against the idea of the past, present, and future timelines all occurring simultaneously. It's very...

Thank you, Blueheart. I have considered those things you mentioned, yes. I have no problem with the nightmares being symbolic, but any attempts at interpreting my dreams has failed. Dream dictionaries are a joke, I used several, and I compared these with online dictionaries, all to no effect...

Tanguerra, I wasn't espousing a belief in a personal god, even if my wording in my previous post seems to imply that I do harbor some belief deep down. I find it hard to avoid referring to a personal creator as if I do believe, and it's due to all the years I spent in churches having Christian...
