What if you aren't a single soul but and amalgamation of soul dust. You are a small part of Adolf Hitler, a small part of Amelia Earhart, half a cat, 338 earthworms and a cows ear and rear end in a top hat.

I was a poor factory worker, than a poor field worker, than another poor field worker, than once a seamstress, that was nice, than a whole long line of field workers, so on and such. One glorious time, long ago, I was the Piss Boy!

when you find a kid who was raised in complete isolation start talking about who they were in a previous life including social security number, birth date, and last three known addresses get back to me.

Dejan Bimble posted:People be videotaping their kids doing this in the present day without knowing about this dead mon. It's just going on whether we like it or not. I always thought a neat plot device for some horror movie or thriller or whatever would be the discovery that there were only ever a few souls to go around that would have to be divided up for the living, and as the human population grew and grew, the integrity of these souls was stretched thinner and thinner to accommodate for every current living human, and it causes a violent descent into some sort of societal decay or hell on earth situation. But that doesn't really stack up to the fact that people used to burn people alive in front of a town's population for minor poo poo, or that racism was so very, very worse the farther back you go. We got problems, absolutely but the past is always more brutal. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Apr 8, 2024 |

I’m reincarnated from some random guy, but he himself was reincarnated from some guy. You can follow the chain of reincarnations pretty far back, so that’s why I have perfect memory of the dinosaurs just constantly, nonstop loving like rabbits.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:The soul must be forged in a cage of flesh then released by death to move onto the next cycle of its growth. This is how it all works, but when you get to the afterlife you have to do a lot of paperwork. It's crazy amounts the younger you die the less paperwork you have to do. Your brain only starts growing once it realizes it has to prepare for doing tons of paperwork. Some brains just don't get it and are really unprepared for the paperwork because something went wrong. Generally, doing the paperwork is what's implanted as your subconscious goal, so at the end of everything you'll at least be able to know enough to get through it, but if you're a baby or something then you don't have to do any paperwork if you're unfortunate enough to go that early, so that's why babies are really dumb and don't know anything, they're still at the state where being smart enough to do paperwork isn't necessary. Yea good luck praying to your imaginary sky TPS reports

Rupert Buttermilk posted:or that racism was so very, very worse the farther back you go. Eh, not really. The age of colonialism and european empire was Peak Racism, which we're still slowly coming down from now. But if you go further back into the medieval and ancient world, racism as we understand it today was much less of a thing.

Leaving aside any kind of supernatural stuff, I do think it's illustrative of the fact that in some ways, our brains are wired to be more of like a nexus of behavioral energies, rather than being a fixed individual person. So we have an ability to fit in with a group, and then maybe later in the same day a totally different group, because we can embody all of these different modes and valences of personhood. IMO it makes total sense why people would interpret this as being previous lives, as a lot of ourselves aren't fully integrated into our sense of self.

I'm not sure but it's definitely an overlapping circle of people believing stories of people being "medically dead", especially children, who say for the couple minutes they were "dead" that they saw heaven or hell.

If you can only be reincarnated from being that lived on the same planet, it can't be based on fixed location, since everything in the universe is moving, so the reason must be that the souls must get trapped in the Earth's gravitational field. Therefore, if there were ancient aliens on the Earth who built the pyramids, it stands to reason that their souls are still in circulation on this planet.

There is definitely a surprising amount of overlap between weird pseudoscientific/new age beliefs that you would normally expect would be mutually incompatible. I imagine there are a lot of people who believe in both memories of past lives and alien abductions

It was a pretty cool little story and I sometimes wish I could find it again.

It's always kind of telling this sort of magic thought logic is pretty much always Christian-centric, with a splash of vague "orientalism" to make it seem more palatable. Either that or the Hindus are right and we just keep ignoring all the times kids say "I was a bug!"

When I was like 3 or 4 I used to put a blanket on the floor and pretend I was a joey in a kangaroo pouch. I also used to stuff my shirt with laundry and pretend I was pregnant then walk in the living room and dump it all on the floor saying it was my baby. Or put a pillow in my shirt pretending I was a fat dad. Or I'd roll around like a rolypoly. This is all irrefutable evidence of my past lives.

There's a setting for the TTRPG All Flesh Must Be Eaten that involves the gods going to war and neglecting the reincarnation process, so now souls end up in dead bodies and the result is zombies.
