Since I came to this forum for personal reasons. I thought it only right to participate in the community. Here's a contribution some folks may want to talk about. Surely a mod will redirect me if necessary.
I saw an episode of X-Files once which touched on Soul Transmigration. Basically our souls are reborn again in new bodies, but the spin the TV show put on it was that our strongest personal ties still exist and our souls are constantly trying to get back together. So in a previous life my dog could have been my mom, or my wife could've been my pet cat, my brother my father, my father my sister and so on. It's a comforting thought, to me, that all my friends and co-workers have been with me since, well, since the beginning. But it also would explain things, for instance, why the people I share a bullpen with at work are each from different areas of the country and seemingly in our current town for random non-specific reasons--coincidence put us together, or maybe not. I meet people online at message boards now and think to myself that this may be another soul or group of souls trying to reconnect. Online communities would be the perfect way for that to happen over long distances.
Anyway this isn't something I necessarily subscribe to and I admit to not having fully researched the term Soul Transmigration. But it's interesting as heck, and I think it sounds a lot like time travel (consciousness transcending time for a reason). I mean wouldn't it wild to think that time travel does exist but it is totally uncontrollable and as much a part of death as it is a part of life? I think so. Your thoughts?
