Well, if there is no proof or evidence that something is there, than its probally not. Im not speaking physically, like a bananna or a HOT HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH, im talking about spirtually.

No no no, IM talking about prooving something physical, like a bananna. I mean you can't proove something that is not physical with your senses is what Im trying to say.
When you go to college you choose what subject you want to learn right? It can be easy lessons with little pay off, or hard lessons with a big pay off. You have full choice at all times.Quote:

When you come here to learn as a soul it's the same thing. Just think of the earth as a big school. And no, I do not think that it's a coincidence that the words University, and Universe are so similar.
well if you think about it, those decisions are sorta set out for you already. What we do during childhood effects those type of decisions me make in the future.
Exactly !Quote:

There is an old chinese saying: The steps you take, deturmine the life you live.
I think that we have proven our point!Quote:

It is the man who is destroying this planet, year after year. If World War III ever happens (hope not), it will be the shortest war ever in the history of this planet !
The first time earth gets destroyed by 600 nuclear bombs, we will watch. Guess who will watch the Earth being destroyed other 7-12 times. The aliens !
uhhhhh...
Yeah, that too!
:)
What we do during childhood does affect what we study and pay attention to during the rest of our lives. But how does that relate to sprituality at all. You guys are jumping to conclusions just to finish the argument. But the answer you came up with has nothing to do with the question.Quote:

It started out like, "why are we here?" (which is virtually unanswerable, in the first place)
Then SwishY came to the conclusion of Self Educating souls. I asked him to elaborate and he said he didn't feel like typing his legnthy response.
Now, you guys have managed to oversimplify and come to a conclusion just because its convenient. Its very well known that whatever you're exposed to as a child will probably be an interest to you as an adult. Come on, what does that have to do with the way SwishY's spirits learn? I don't know what that conclusion proves, but it doesn't take us to a better understanding of Swishy's theory of Self-Educating Souls.
I never said self-educating souls. That would emply that they have the answers already within them, and they only need to unlock the answers. The easiest way to do this is for you to read the book which I suggested. It's not one or two paragraph answer, nor should it be.
What I mean by self-educating souls is that they search for knowledge unprompted. What really gets to me is that you assume that everyone alive believes that they have a soul. You constantly tell people about thier souls and what the funtion of thier soul is, but you don't even know if they exist. What you must first establish is that there is some good reason to believe that these entities do exist and what function they have in conjuction with your physical body and your mind. Tell me one or two paragraphs about that and your argument will be way more credible.
Well first of all I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I am not a priest, and it will not help me in anyway to prove anything like this. I am merrly suggesting another way for you to look at things. I have studied most every religion, and talked with countless of people who were said to know it all, but never could I find one single source which both made common sence, and didn't relie on some sort of faith, not until I read the book which I suggested. I personally know that I have a soul. At one time I wasn't so sure of that, but now I am. But it is not the whole puzzle, it is only a piece of the puzzle. You do not need to believe that you have one, to have one. Just consider yourself in another learning phase. It is 2:30 in the morning here, but I will leave your paragraphs for you in the morning. All you'll need to bring is some good old fashion common sense. This has nothing to do with religion. The soul is not religious.Quote:

If I had my way, we wouldn't be on Earth at all!:D
whoa so much happenned after i went out!
well, how can souls be of a non-religious nature?
if we dont believe in spirituality, i think souls would be useless...
.... i missed my 100th post, when i looked, i had like 107.......no point in celebrating now.
Your assuming that we do have souls.
No actually I am not, but I am not here to show you yours. All I can do is help you find it again.Quote:

How can our souls learn? I do not understand This.
what is there for a soul to learn; life is a ***** & love is the only thing that, once you have it, you can count on. there is no nirvana, there is no hell. cynical? maybe, but in all reality(?) are you more willing to attribute that everything is for some primal mote of 'energy' to become better educated (couldn't you get it the first 5000 time around?) or that it all happens for basically no reason?
...parallel, IMHO, if all this were to happen for souls to become educated, would everyone then have the same soul?
-"ignore him, he;s had too much to drink."
i think that we are here on accident, but we have made the best of it (some have) and if we keep asking why we are here and who put us here, we will lose touch with reality and destroy each other through holy war.
Hi Ambiance. Your soul is here to learn but not things like 1+1 or how to make the perfect triangle. God gives us those things to learn so that we can survive.Quote:

Your soul is here to learn how to do things like Love, have compassion, or maybe it's learning how to truly forgive, or how to have patience, things like that. It learns not with your brain, but with experience.
