    Or a great leader of an alien military fleet who made a mistake and caused an entire planet to suffer for a million years. But he's been other great leaders as well.

    I'll give you three guesses as to whom I am talking about. And no, it's not the one who claims to have been King Solomon.

    I have a friend, very nice, very caring very spiritual person, who is convinced she's Mary Magadelene. But she also argues with the inhouse Alexan and calls her an evil bitch and literally the device won't respond to her anymore. But she can't reconcile that's dozens, hundreds and thousands of women also think they are reincarnations of Mary Magdelene. So I posed a spiritually quantum theory to her. What if we shed a body of memories, they are cast out into the universe as particles of energy, maybe portions of the soul in the afterlife and those memories are energy and one is attracted to it for whatever reason. Because they need to know that energy? And so we assume that energy during our carnate life and we experience memories as a sort of learning experience, without having to actually be the repeat authentic version of that person. Wouldn't the memories and knowledge and experience suffice? You wouldn't have to be a reincarnation of the person to get the benefit of their wisdom.

    I heard that somewhere and it sorta explained why so many people think they are some significant historical personage or spiritual figure.

    She didn't like the idea of not being the actual Mary Magdalene but she still can't reconcile how come there's so many versions running around. I believe in reincarnation but parallel lives and existing simultaneously in different universes is actually something I experienced so it seems more real to me.

    That is, in my opinion, probably how it works, yes.

    At the most fundamental level, all is one, and the memories of one individual can easily become some ingrained "past life" recollection of another and completely unrelated individual, like a kind of telepathic noosphere that spirits in the afterlife can tap into.

    That's an really interesting theory and makes sense on a number of levels. We are all one interconnected consciousness. We are all Mary Magdalene, some just have their antennae attuned to her quantum vibe in a current incarnation? Perhaps in another, she is St. Joseph, ostensibly when she might be a he? I like it.

    You're just saying that because you like trannies.

    I wonder if that was the precursor to all these trends of people trying on new identities. My nieces tell me that even out here in CowHorn USA there's kids at her school who think they are animals. They are transanimal and identify with being cats and dogs. Furries they are called. And they want litter boxes in the class room.

    I've heard about the furries and the Otherkin way back... Jesus. Now, someone might say that's a mental malaise and I probably wouldn't count that out, but sometimes I wonder what the heck is going on especially in America. Although bear in mind that perhaps some souls have an affinity towards very far into their past. I often have fox or wolf avatar because I'm into canine symbolism and our shamanistic spirit animals and I of course love dogs, but I'm not any furry. I don't necessarily so much identify as a human, I just happen to be one.

    Soul as we know it evolves from pure spirit or ether to mineral, mineral to plant, plant to animal, eventually from domesticated animal to human. We have animal bodies and we come from animals, the point is that we are not anymore animals because we have a higher cognition and higher purpose. Some might get stuck with identifying with the old forms, just an idea that has come to my mind. Regarding other kinds of dysphorias, I think it often if not always originates on the soul level and it has to do with confusion regarding the past.

    Personally, I think there's a much more mundane explanation. I think it's simply a matter of no longer having the mental acuity to know oneself, and/or insanity — the latter becoming a really significant affliction in our western society these days.

    You could be right. If you are truly confused about yourself and your own identity then chaos ensues. At worst neurosis and psychosis.

    It's also a given — and statistically proven once again only recently — that I.Q. scores have been dropping significantly over the past two decades.

    And who might that reincarnated soul be, the one who messed over an entire planet for a million years?
