Souls: My idea of what it is, both conceptualy and physicaly

[remdog]

Get ready for a long one...

First as background I am a beliver of reincarnation and always wondered how that could be possiable but i think i have finally figured it out. So imagine your soul as the object that contains your karmic balance and information of all your past lives, anything youve ever been done or created through action ever since the beggining of the cycle. now imagine your soul as not a ghostly figure, or in an alternate dimension as previously thought of but more of a piece of your genetic material, the starting central point of your genetics if you will. now let me explain how i find this plausable. So just say in a current life your a bunny and you get shot in someones back yard by a b-b gun. over time you decompose down into next to nothing and then another being of some sort, be it a bunny or a person who has a small open wound and steps on this old soil made of your dead bunny body, a very small molecue, a dna molecue enters this creature and evntully makes its way to the egg or a sperm cell. upon fertilization this little piece of dna is now the head, the center of the production of the new living being tieing all your genetic material, from your parents together and constructing you if you will. what this would mean is, if you could find the part of your brain that can accses this genetic material then you could learn from the information stored on what all your past lives were........ i dunno jus crazy idea

So your saying the soul is DNA and it lays dormant(in the dirt) for how many years before it makes contact with another DNA Lifeform...Prosperous....

Then you have the nerve to say when the DNA makes contact with the the so called host it finds the reproduction system magically and hopes to reincarnate back on this plane.

Your Mad!!!!!!!!!

Then what about the millions of other sperm/egg cells huh,are they souls too,how many souls are we carrying inside us.And would'nt the souls/DNA fuse somehow?

I think it's safer to say that the physical and spiritual completely separate at the time of death and unite again at the time of conception.

Interesting theory though,DNA plays a huge role in understanding the physical and metaphysical aspects of reincarnation.

Your soul is your awareness that is the same exact awareness that lies within ever being, terefore, all your "your past lives" are every life that has ever been lived, is lived, or will ever be lived. The karma (actions) of your past lives brought this one into existence (mother and father having sex to create this body) and your actions affect other beings, all of which carry your Aweness, therefore creating a cycle of endless births and deaths. "you" and I are the same, we both have the exact same aweness, we are the same thing exeriencing different realities through different bodies. I am experiencing all realities through all bodies simultanieously, although the body is confienied to only experience what it does through its senses, but it really is me experiencing it through all bodies. That is the soul, the Universal Conciousness, that pervades all beings, that has no beginning nor end.

I tried to have an open mind, but that's pretty far fetched. Although I do think there is a lot about DNA that we don't know. For example, some huge chunk (like a third or half or something) of our genetic material is basically leftover junk DNA. It serves no purpose as far as scientists currently understand. But I think it contains a lot more information than we realize.... it could even indicate the existence of a soul if we're able to decode and understand it better.

yea it is far fetched, but if you think about it would give an biological and scientific in general explanation of how your soul could travel from one life to another, and be real- you could theralticaly look at it if you could find where it was stored, but that would be virtualy impossible because it is the one small piece of genetic material that actuly formed you, a 100% unique individual that has an entire collection of past life in it. and it would only be found in 1 of your cells genetic layouts, out of millions and millions of cells.
