Alright so there is this belief system called animism, and they believe that pretty much everything in the universe has a soul and a spirit. Do you think that humans have spirits?
Yes I do believe that humans have spirits, a human with no spirit is a ship with no captain

And so that basically our bodies are there to hold our souls.
C'est bien ça chère amie.

What options do you think could happen to our souls once we die?
I think our death is only that of the physical existence, our souls don’t need the bodies we live in so once our BODY dies we are free to take on any shape or form we want, like a crab changes shells. Ss that off topic?

Nothing is off topic, you can talk about anything. In that case, do you believe once you die your soul could be reincarnated into another life form? Or perhaps that before you were the human you are now your spirit could have been in someone/something else?
I believe so, but I would have to say that reincarnation to me is like making the same mistake twice, or maybe if you look at it as a class you have to pass. Basically our physical manifestation is a test, so if you learned the lesson "life" you would want to take on something perhaps bigger. But to answer your question yes, I believe I was once in an other body, be it human animal or astral, yes. I think so, it would only make sense.

Right. Because otherwise what would happen to your soul? Where would it go?
To the fiery pit of HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL. No seriously, I think the soul goes depending on what it has accumulated or "learned" in the past life. Not much of a Buddhist but the nature of things would be unprecedented if we had no past lives. Do you get what I mean, sometimes I could be confusing.

No, I get it. Without a past, there is no future type of thing. Well karma basically believes that everything you do now will kind of determine what happens to you in a future life, so... it's kind of like that in a way.
Yes, but even deeper. Basically what I’m saying is, its obvious for us "TO GO, or TO COME FROM,” its that road that makes us who we are. Our actions are only a mere turning point for where we came from and to where we are going. With each action defines where we could or can’t go, but we are always on the go.

Ahhh ok. We are a constant force. And perhaps our deaths are only just the "turning points" as you say, and the rest of it is a constant journey. Sweet, I got it!
You know, it’s funny to me because we talk about death like its the end but take another look at it and you will see, keeping in mind the following: death is A- inevitable B- unknown, but if you switch it around and see that life itself is unknown and inevitable, it’s not as scary any more. Well I say that life is like a mini death, it’s like a pit stop for the soul and when the soul is charged up, you can go on dying like you use to. Am I crazy?

Wow. That’s such an awesome way to look at it. Maybe you're crazy, but it the best way possible. I think that's really interesting. If this is life, think of what dying would be like!
Its like life, how else could it be? You know what I mean since the only thing you can compare death to is life.

Do you think once we die we'll have recollection of our lives now?
Absolutely. Just look at what the kids are doing these days, there are more and more records of kids talking about there past life now more than before. I’m sure you’ve done it at least once, I know I use to do this all the time as a kid, I use to tell my parents “do you guys remember when I was older?”

Really? I can't remember ever doing that. You’ve done that? Maybe if I asked my parents.
I’ve done it, my little brother’s done it, my cousins do it all the time.

Do you remember something specific you've said?
Kids are becoming more and more telepathic and can recall things from past lives in such clear details that most of the time we just find it cute and funny.

He [a kid] was able to find the house he use to live in, the name of the people who lived there and all.

Wow. Sweet, I'm going to watch that. That’s pretty incredible. Okay, well kind of going into a different direction a bit, if you were to have been any animal in a past life, let's say, what do you think that would have been.
I thought you knew that, we spoke about this over coffee. Take a guess.

Well, I know what it is but it's for the sake of the interview.
I think I might have been an elephant in a past life, there’s just something about elephants when I look at one, time kind of freezes and I start to look through the eyes of the elephant. It's easy to me. Seems natural.

That’s the exact description of how one would feel about their totem animal, an inexplicable attraction, obsession, fascination with a certain animal. They are basically your guide.
Yeah, to me it’s all that compressed into a glance.

Wonderful. I’m guessing if you go to a zoo you tend to linger by the elephants.
I didn’t even know they had other animals in the zoo till I was like 12. I always use to say “let's go see the elephants.”

Wow. That’s really something. Have you ever touched an elephant?
I fed it. Just the trunk. I wanna hug it. Maybe i should be a vet.

Anyways, I think that’s it really for questions. Do you have anything to add?
Yeah I would just like to say that all this elephant talk is making me hungry, and I would also like to add that if you ever come in contact with an elephant "and you don’t die" please restrain from feeding them peanuts. Like seriously, who came up with that?

Ahah they don't like peanuts?
I’m just wondering why peanuts, they have access to so much shit, like actual fruits and veggies, and obviously leafs.

Well exactly! A peanut is like a treat, I guess.
