Do you believe this?

Do you believe our souls are separate from our bodies? What if our mothers chose different mates rather than our fathers, would we still have fallen into their womb or would it be a different mother? I wonder if our souls have fixed fates. We had zero control over what to be born into. I try myself to be very grateful for not being born into an unfortunate family in very underdeveloped societies or situations. It sometimes makes me think twice. It's not like if I was born into some little tribe in the countryside of Vietnam, I'd have the ability to hop on a plane and fly to Europe or America. My life and perceptions would've been soo different. I'm not sure what category these thoughts would be in. Share yours!

My thoughts are that there is the physical body, the soul and the spirit.
The soul is like the interface between the body and the spirit.
Therefore our souls are not separate from our bodies, and makes your other points irrelevant.
As for being born in a particular place or a particular family I do think that you will not reincarnate into a situation which is below that level to which you have already evolved, why would you have to re-learn lessons already learnt?
If you wish to reincarnate in a different place then i suspect that you would have to move to that location and immerse yourself in the culture of those people living their.

Yes because when I poop, part of my soul escapes.

Those notion are meaningless. Where is the soul? Where's the body? it makes no sense to even ask these quetions. Soul means breath, basically.

There is no soul that falls into the body hahahahah

The notions are different in the East.. I do believe there is a soul.. Not only in each one of us, but in everything, in this entire existence and universe.


It's hard to explain...and being poor in English I cant really explain.

You said that beautifully.

I don't believe in destiny, where everything is pre-determined, however I do believe that we each are presented with unique situations and how we react to those are up to us. Like if you're dealt a tough hand, you either play victim or be determined to make things better for yourself. It's all up to us to make the best of things.
