Well, really in order to understand reincarnation, first you have to have a basic understanding of what the soul really is.
First I see the mind as the software, the body the hardware and the soul as the power source. Power source, what do you mean you may ask? Really all a
soul is, is the compiled information of your past lives that power your mind and body.
Why could two genetically identical twins have drastically different behaviors when raised in similar environments? Simple, they have different souls
and one child may have lived 500 lives and the other 1000.
The mind is energy, right? Well science accepts that energy is not just destroyed just because its containment unit is. If you smash a 9 volt battery
with a hammer, where does the energy go? In to the hammer, the surface it lies on and the environment itself.
I simply believe that the mind is absorbed by the soul in death, and that energy returns to the environment and eventually finds a new embryo to bond
with in the future. That is why I don't see a problem with abortions before the third trimester, you stop the growth and the soul that was bonded to
the embryo simply leaves and finds a new one to bond to.
All the soul is, is information. That is why someone doesn't give a soul to a demon for 20 years of riches. You may be giving 10,000 years worth of
information for crap. Then you always see in TV and movies that the person's behaviors become selfish and evil, why? Because you just gave away your
collective intelligence and are only operating on 35 years instead of your original 5035 years of knowledge.
Where do gut feelings come from? Your bowels? No. Your collective past lives worth of information. The more times you reincarnate the better your
chances are for success in this life, and this can also explain why someone may find a location familiar even though they were never there before.
Maybe they were a thousand years ago.
I don't see the soul as mystical mumbo jumbo. Just energy that continues to be reborn through energy cycling of the universe. The more times you do
it, the smarter you get, the healthier you remain, and the better able to handle trauma you become.
If you lived through three wars, you can handle it better in the future, typically. There are always exceptions. Trauma can sever a mind and then it
can bond to its environment, producing what we call a ghost. The spooky feeling of a haunted house is simply entropic energy that can feed a mind that
has severed from its soul. Also explaining why most ghosts aren't very good conversationalists.
That is why a Flir imager can sometimes pick up unusual heat signatures, because the apparition still generates some energy as it absorbs it from its
environment. Science can explain the supernatural quite easily, all it requires is specialized equipment, an open mind, and patience.
The mind or ghost as it were only has limited perception and intelligence as it may be as little as 25% of the original mind that imprinted to the
environment, and that mind was just one lifetime out of perhaps hundreds or thousands depending on the individual person. Hence why a ghost does very
little, or a lot depending on how much of the original person remains.
Some are just an image that repeats, others are far more functional. Not to mention their personalities vary just like ours do, they are still people,
just partial people.
Energy just doesn't vanish, it recycles like everything else in the universe.
