Paranormal Who has souls?

[phenethylo J]

Has anyone else ever wondered how time travel can affect the journey of the soul? Like say for example you travel back in time; and die is your soul trapped back there? Technically back there would be the wrong terminology since it's the commonly held belief that true backwards time travel doesn't exist. What you are really doing is traveling to a pre-existing clone of our timeline whose cartesian axes are misaligned from ours; then you, the traveler creates a divergence of events. To get back on topic would your soul then be restricted to that timeline's afterlife and/or reincarnation cycle? Does the reincarnation cycle span across timelines/ parallel universes? What would happen to your soul if you died while in the void between realities/timelines?

Hello all.

I've been thinking about this question for quite a while... If Human's have souls then does that mean every other living organism like animals, plants, and extraterrestrials have souls too? What do you guys think?

I believe the qualifier is having part of our consciousness in the 4th dimension while we reside in this 3rd dimension body.
Do animals have part of their consciousness in the 4th dimension?
NDEs often feature reunification with pets that have passed on, so possibly they have a soul as well. In summary that is my take. It's all a guess.

The "self-repair" network-The brain has built-in mechanisms for;
Emotional regulation
Trauma integration

This is strange, I've just recently integrated part of my self that was hidden and protected since I was abruptly left without any security or protection at 14yo. That took 42 years to integrate and stop blaming myself for the things that shocked me, tell myself if I hadn't seen it coming then that was proof I hadn't caused it deliberately, the integration only was possible when I stopped blaming myself completely, not the other way around. I had to believe I hadn't done anything wrong first.

I feel the drugs are somewhat redundant now, I feel so much better put back together, but I guess I'm an addict, it doesn't cause many problems, it's a habit I'll kick someday and be able to travel again. That's one reason I need to make the codeine work, it's legally prescribed so I can travel some places with them.

I believe in a soul for every life, it is the spark that makes something alive rather than dead. I was a vegetarian for a couple of years because of cruelty in the meat industry, but I believe a carrot has as much right to it's life as I have, although human culture will never protect a carrot like a human and I support that, if you take it down to basics, it's not possible to live without killing other life forms, it's a constant natural recycling that we can't avoid, so burgers tonight.

We have to eat other life forms, does that make all animals evil? A plant photosynthesises, we can't, simple, if we decide to never eat another life form we die.

Tornadoes eat a lot of life forms, I've never seen one, but storms can feel like they have personalities, sure.

I just want to be clear that when I proposed this question I was not arguing that only the purely scientific explanation was correct, but to "poll" the followers of this thread regarding what they believed.

I have a soul, a life force that survives death, yes and then the same soul is reused in a new body after I die because a soul needs a body to express itself, but bodies wear out and die while the soul is immortal and I'll be forever with my dog, who also has a soul although he's a dumbass, he won't let me out of his sight, I'm sure it'll be the same when we're dead.

I believe that all organic beings have a soul of some kind, whether fungi, plants, or animals - even the planet itself - there are spiritual aspects in all living things.

Humans do have souls
One way to test it out is to give your soul to a friend scribbled on a piece of paper and see what happens

Not only that but I do think Nature bends when we give love or attention. Like the way dogs got domesticated or horses were the powerhouse years back. So I think all living things do have a soul. Last spring I was on a hike and sat by a waterfall by a lake. I had just had a smoke. Then all of a sudden hovering right in front of my face was this cute green flying insect, it had very cool wings, almost like an angel, as I looked I could swear it turned into a nymph. Then I had the realization that insects are the fairys and nymphs of our world. One of the cutest bugs I ever saw. But we see them as "bugs" in our reality. Something to avoid. Expendable even though we know in science that they are part of the ecosystem.

Another time we had a few mice, one or two coming into our kitchen. I caught one red handed and he looked at me, my dog right near me (my dog didn't chase mice, just bunnies.) So he looks at me and slowly goes the hole that he came in on. I said help your friend go with you so I can seal that up. And he did, two mice hopped up, looked back at me and left. Never to see another one again. Then I sealed the hole. It has been said mice are as smart as dogs. I remember saying as they left you help me and I will help you. Meanwhile I have heard neighbor's calling exterminators for one mouse, trying to push back and fight instead of convincing nature to bend and resulting in a mice war. I know it sounds funny, But I am sticking by the notion of nature bending our way in the same way we get domestication.

I love how some trees can live 1000 years, a tortoise over 100 years. I think the life force in these beings is a soul

I've thought about stuff like that - how mythic creatures may have simply been animals we just weren't familiar with. In ancient times, we saw magic in nature in a way that has been drained from the modern world. Something about psychedelic states helps us reconnect with the glamour of the old world. Science and modernity has long done away with our connection to the ethereal.

During covid I had this realization that viruses were a kind of immunological response on behalf of the planet to keep us in check. Around that time I remember reading an article about how a previously unknown strain of chlamydia was found in a water sample in the atlantic. They suspect that it had been frozen in the ice caps and due to global warming it suddenly was released. Made me think that the earth may have ways of responding to human expansion and climate change by releasing pathogens that temper our expansion.

The earth does have a way of limiting expansion of organisms or living things its called extinction
I could be wrong but over 90% of anything that has ever lived is dead
That's alot of souls

According to the interpretation of shinto, one's kamui is this reward to the loving attention given to the plants and animals.

I believe in this as a Christian
That in Genesis our Lord created existence through similar methods. Loving stars and planets and rocks and minerals that would decorate this kingdom and that are conscious would suffice to govern it by the orders for which they have names.

most.gentile saints represent this fight to mend heal save souls.

A young priestess once gave me this feeling that our souls occupy this soul space surrounding the earth. I hold onto that everyday it is no coincidence souls travel and are in need of spiritual healing
