They may do, I haven't got any belief around animals and souls. Perhaps they do.

I'm stating the fact that everyone has some beliefs that others will find absurd. When it comes to belief it really is "each to their own" - I seriously doubt if I started harping on about what I believe it will change anyone's belief, and vice versa.
but that's not a fact, that's conjecture. If it's something you just believe without really pondering, just say so. If you've actually thought about it in depth at all, im interested in hearing about how you formulated that belief.
shame. it's a good oneJaekus wrote:

Consider the symbol in your avatar. There are probably insights to be found within the resonating sound of the universe.
I have thought about it for many years, questioned it and thought against it from time to time. But to be honest (and this sounds like a cop out) I don't really feel comfortable expressing my beliefs on here because it will seem pointless other than some fodder for the trolls. But anyway...
In saying that, in a nutshell I believe that the universe is made up vibration, with solid objects being obviously moving at a slower vibration, liquids, faster, gas faster etc. till you get to light and what not. I believe the soul is a vibration but is faster again, that it exists in like an alternate universe/plane/realm/frequency/whatever. I don't believe in a "god" in any religious sense, but I believe there is a greater intelligence that permeates everything. So I guess I base a lot of what I believe in science and go from there. I'm not completely set in stone and if I learn something new about the universe that contradicts what I believe I will consider how that will change what I believe and ponder it further.
I don't intend on debating nor trying to "prove" any of this, nor do I expect anyone to go "wow, that's cool, I might believe that too". Just replying to a question.

Yup that doesn't make any sense. No offense, of course.

I am undecided because of the outstanding lack of knowledge we humans posses. To think that there will not be countless more paradigm shifts in accepted science is to deny the impermanence of everything.
I agree with ken. Stripes is a good movie.
The human ego can't take the concept that it could cease to exist.

question for the believers
does this soul that lives on have any markings of your character? do the qualities that comprise Jaekus as a person now for example continue to be?

I assume being dead is kind of like before you were conceived. You cease to exist.
