Welcome to mylot friend

I believe that the 'survival of the soul/spirit' is much more complex than how most religions portray it. The salient fact is that, as most people believe, there is something of us that survives. I know that some would contest that and say that it's 'wishful thinking' and part of me can see the logic in that belief, however another part of me insists that, because so many have said that something persists, there must be some truth in it. I am not sure where my concept of the process came from. It's possible that I have read or hear something of the sort somewhere and have forgotten where but it seems to me that it 'just arrived in my head one day' when asking about it. You may interpret that in whatever way you wish. A 'soul' is a spiritual (i.e. non-material) identity. In order to understand that, you have to accept that there is something other than the matter which we can experience with physics and our normal senses. There are some who cannot do that and that is OK by me: my theory will be meaningless to them. Perhaps the best way to introduce my idea is to describe the image which came to me at the time. I saw the seashore of a huge ocean. I saw rain falling in individual droplets, each unique and separate and I saw them falling into the rock pools on the shore. Each individual drop lost its identity in the pool but, at the same time, added its experiences of life as an individual to the pool into which it fell. Eventually, the sun and the wind evaporated the water in the pool, drawing up the vapour into the sky and the clouds, where it eventually formed into rain and fell again. It seemed to me that each new raindrop carried a faint memory of a previous existence and a collective memory drawn from the pool from which it came. It seemed to me that this was why we occasionally experience the feeling that another person - often a stranger - has some kind of special affinity, a 'likeness of spirit' or an innate mutual understanding.

Welcome ti myLot! The Bible makes the most sense to me and so I believe in a future resurrection where most of the people will come back to life and be the meek that will inherit the Earth.

I believe that our soul rests until jesus comes. Guess we won't know until we die.

Not sure what my opinion is about this yet. Welcome!
