according to one belief, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but the soul remains constant throughout the successive lives.[1].

belief in reincarnation has ancient roots.

I am beginning to think that there is more to our existence than the 70+ years we get here. There are many unexplained things that capture my attention and I go hmmmm... I read others' experiences and see a connection to places I've never been.

An Explanation of why TIME TRAVEL does not work

by Terry in

energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for tomorrow's new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies/disintegrates) and the parts become available to make the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where today's parts are available to be rearranged.. some of today's things persist as they are, of course.

they only travel through time by persisting as they are.

(mountains, for example.).

It took mankind many thousands of years after inventing numbering systems to actually come up with "0" (zero) as a value to represent nothing. It's kind of like that, we have only had about 100 years to grasp the quantum world and it's impact on our everyday life. Given enough time I'm quite certian that our human minds will become comfortable with the "Uncertainty Principle" and it's various manifestations. Until then, we'll have many philosophical debates on and around the subject -- some leading to frustration.

I found this book Quantum: A Guide For The Perplexed to be quite informative. There is a very interesting example of not just electrons and photons creating interference patterns, but complex molecules behaving the same way. [ http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-353456.html ] This just is amazing stuff :) So in these instances, these "particles" are in many places at once...

Im not sure how this effects your theory, but the Astronauts in the international space station are effected by time dialation. Time Dialation is also one of the factors of the GPS system to synchronize them for the rapid movement of the satellites. Interesting Blog

I am having some reservations about Barbara Anderson

recently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.

it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..

just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.

No issues.. I was poking at you about posting. Trying to make a but of humor.
