    We are souled beings. So, we are not this body and this mind. But we have to choose to find more about it. For example, I know why we are here on earth, where I'll go after I'll make the transition through death process. There are many information about life, death and birth that may bring clarity and knowledge. If you are interested ask me.

    We have a soul. I may not have hard evidences but I strongly believe that each one of us has a soul. Great lens by the way. 5*

    It takes a lot of soul to create life, love life, to question, and live life as best as one can. It also takes a lot of soul to compose and publish a lens like this to the world. Congrats on your well deserved purple star.

    A very thought provoking lens Katinka. It is something I ofet think about but I am yet to decide whether we have a soul or not.

    Yes, We do have a soul.
    I will never forget what I experienced when I was a teeneager.
    It was a saturady I was asleep during the morning, For some reason I saw the sun light coming into my room and I "woke up", I heard my sisters and my mother talking and laughing in the front porch and I felt like I went there. Once I got there, I saw them eating a juicy watermelon but it was weird they didn't notice my presence, minutes later I woke up again and I said that all I saw was only a dream.
    I got up and I went to the front porch again and my mother and sisters noticed me there while eating watermelon, laughing and talking and wearing the same clothes, and having the same conversation, this time the weight of my body was heavier than when I woke up the first time.

    Love this lens*****. Reading Deepak Chopra's books have changed the way I look at life. I love listening to him talk about quantum physics and how it's being used to bring science and the spiritual world closer together...

    Great lens! I ***** and a favorite. I wrote quite a bit in the duel, so I'll leave it at that

    Namaste

    Great lens! I think we have a soul and as you said near death experience proves the point to me, so does hypnosis and even small children remember things.
  • awakeningwellness Dec 16, 2008 @ 11:35 am | delete
    Great lens on a wonderful topic...5*! People who don't believe they have a soul should try meditating...a great way to commune with your soul.
  • KenJennis Dec 15, 2008 @ 8:49 pm | delete
    Very interesting page. I do believe that we do have something beyond our mechanical.... that sentience, quale experience, and the soul... however, we will never know from within the system itself.

    Hello,

    I came across an Aura Camera system at http://www.aura.net and found the crystal package the most interesting

    I put this page in my favs, it's great! I love how more & more folks who really understand that we are way more than just a sack of mingling organic molecules are starting to speak out against extreme materialism. I had an nde (watch my video at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdt7A83keqE)...and something happened during the experience that cannot be explained by science. Feel free to check it out and give your (respectful) opinion.

    I'm sure we have! Last week, my grandma died and my 2-year-old nephew, a son of my cousin, was sitting on a dinner chair facing his great-grandma's picture pointing to it shouting "Grandma, grandma" then, turns to point towards an empty chair and shout again, "Grandma grandma", then, back & forth! I'm sure it was grandma's soul he saw that time.

    A perfect debate, but facts are facts and they exist the way they are over and above these arguments.
