permanent thing. Since little pieces of
this grand soul are always slipping down
into new babies, in that sense, we are all
one connected soul. We ALL have the same
"past life" because it's one big
bowl. |
That is EXACTLY what the
guy on Oprah said...we are like ice cubes,
then water, then steam...connected in that
way. I don't know if I said it right...
and I concur with
you..that sounds so right..so much is
possible. |
But since I don't believe in individual
souls (we're all connected to the grand
soul by a string if you will) I don't
believe you can have, say, Ghengis Khan's
"soul" inside of you, because when he
died, his soul dissolved and added its
experiences t the whole. You have a part
of it. You have a part of every single
life that has ever been on this
planet. |
I like it... That would explain
allot of the violence and love and cruelty
and compassion that exists in us all..
interesting
concept.. |
How does it explain the love and violence?
I don't really think we have any solid
universal consciousness; what I probably
should have said is that the "souls" we
have in us have no conscious memory of
past experiences.
To me, it's like saying we drink dinosaur
pee. We technically do; the water cycle
works that way. However, you can clearly
grasp the idea that we're not actually
drinking urine. That's what the universal
soul is like. There's nothing tangible to
"feel" as you are now.
