Do you believe as a person we have a soul?
Of course, for sure, for sure.

Some people think that we’re just the electricity in our brains, or whatever...
No, I feel like our body is just what carries our soul.

Okay, do you think that once we die our soul could be possibly reincarnated into other life forms?
Yes, probably not humans or animals or anything on planet earth, I don’t really think. Somewhere else.

That’s pretty cool. You think we could be reincarnated to like-
-another universe or another dimension. I don’t think that the soul just evaporates once the body dies, I think it definitely goes somewhere.

Yeah, that it doesn’t just float away.
Yeah, just stop… being.

Do you think it goes to like, some spirit kingdom?
Sort of… something like that. Another world where all the other spirits go.

If you were let’s say to be reincarnated into an animal, for example, what animal do you think that would be?
I think I would be an ostrich.

What makes you say that?
I don’t know, I always felt like it kind of represented my character.

In what ways?
Just the way it is, when it’s scared it kind of puts it’s head in the ground and like, I don’t know, runs around like crazy.

It’s tall.
It’s tall, has a long neck.

Karma believes that pretty much everything you do in this life is going to determine what you reincarnate into in a future life. Like if you do bad things you’re going to be reincarnated into a maggot or something.
I don’t really believe that. I think Karma is something on earth, like if you do bad things on earth bad things will happen to you on earth but what you turn into is basically what your personality is.

If let’s say you take Karma into consideration and how as a person you are now, what do you think you would be?
Hmm… it’s hard to say because I do think I’m a good person who does bad things sometimes, but everyone does. I don’t think I would be a bug. I think I’d be something nice.

Something decent.
Not like a lion or anything.

*cough* *cough*
*cough*

Do you have anything to say? Like any ideas that you’ve thought of about what happens when you die?
Well I watched this video on YouTube along the lines of string theory and they said there’s several parallel universes so I think depending on how you act on earth you get separated into different ones, and different worlds.

Oh! Interesting. So there’s like good parallel universes and bad ones.
Yeah! You get divided, and that’s how you get divided, while you’re on earth.

Huh. Cool.
But uh, when you are reincarnated I don’t believe that you’re any one form of like you know, human, animal, bug whatever. I think you’re just like a floating energy.

A spirit.
Yeah. Just kind of like… I don’t know what texture we would be like.

There’s this theory that when your soul leaves your body you’ll get sick and die eventually. And lets say your soul leaves your body before it’s accomplished goals in life that you’ve wanted to achieve, like for example let’s say you really wanted to have children that if your soul leaves your body before you had the chance that your spirit would go an steal the spirit of a child, therefore killing the child.
I don’t think that way. I think like, let’s say you died and let’s say someone close to you was murdered and you were thriving to catch that person and you never did your soul would kind of... haunt them... never really take another [spirit].

But it would stay?
It would stay until something happens to make it leave. And that’s why I kind of believe in ghosts.

Yeah. Because there must be something that kind of happens to our consciousness. I don’t really feel it would kind of like just shut off forever.
Yeah and go where?

It’s like obviously we have a consciousness otherwise what are we?
Yeah, it’s in our body.

It’s like our brain is holding it or something.
Yeah.

Cool. Do you have anything else to say?
Uhhh… that’s what I think.

Alright. Coolio.
