Thread: Do souls recognize each other?

Can't prove or disprove it, like I said. I know nothing of psychology.

If there is no evidence for something, then the logical explanation is that it doesn't exist.

This is in the dreams forum???

Can anyone prove spirits exist? Or dreams mean anything? In fact, if someone asks for a dream interpretation, can he prove he had that dream???

This is all faith, like most of religion.

Lol?

You can't prove to others you had a dream, but you can know yourself if you dreamed. If the others also know they dream, then they know it's possible for you to dream too.

This feels like a dodge from:

I don't have an example. I did say I wasn't sure if this was true, just that my friend suggested it as the basis for his belief. He believed in reincarnation, just as I do.

Why?

Well I can't "prove" anything to myself either, maybe I'm hallucinating. So if I need faith for everything, then discussing anything is useless. But it's not, because I don't intend on wasting my life on some probability. In theory, you can prove what somebody dreams, it's the spirit that can't be proven, even in theory.

You see, we have an understanding on how the brain works. Deciphering different processes is just another step scientists have to make.

There is absolutely nothing, but the "feeling" that I have free will or a soul, that would even these two things out. So go ahead, give me some basic outline of how the soul interacts with us or the universe and why would you take it for granted if it can't be proven.

I can't prove that it can't be proven - maybe someone can prove it, just not me.

I don't know how the soul interacts with the universe, though I do think it's a non-physical entity that is in the body. I think all animals have souls, and even plants have souls. I think that a soul is non-physical, but it can be detected by scientific instruments, because it gives off physical signatures, be they electric, magnetic, or some other signature - and I'm not a scientist, so I don't know if this is so, just a feeling.

But I do wonder if souls ever recognize each other from previous lives.

I'd have to go with subconscious first reaction on this one. I'd be willing to bet that a signifigant portion of 'instant like/dislike' reactions happen because the person looks like someone you've seen before and either like or dislike but don't necessarily think about all that often; like a childhood friend/enemy.
