Hi to all members of Minds Eye: I just would like to state my views about the soul. You may argue forever whether the soul exists or not, and you will never know the outcome, as this argument has gone on since the beginning of recorded human times. So I will limit myself to say what my own belief is about the human soul. Souls should exist otherwise how could one explain supernatural happenings? Another question; Where does our life energy go when we die, or suddenly die? How does one explain some dreams that seem to come from the cosmos knowledge, which sometimes make me think that this is God itself, and many other things whether they are personal or not? So, for me the soul exists, but I have still to find a way how to prove it to myself and to you. These are my views about the existence of souls. My regards to you all Manfraco
