First, let me greet everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I keep encountering this question: "Who were you in your past life?" So, do you believe in reincarnation? Although I am a Catholic, I have some thoughts that...

emptychair @Jenaisle You stated all of that very well. When I had my hypnosis sessions, one session lasted for 5 hours, and I lived in detail, a "past life" lived thousands of years ago around 3000 BC. It was very interesting to experience, and much better than a dream,...

When I was a teen walking home from school I would stop at 7/11 and buy a suzyq and a pop. Even as a teen I loved those creamy cakes. They just tasted so good, Than about ten years ago. I could not find them. I was so...

emptychair A few things come and go, then make a reappearance. They must have had feedback telling them to put them out there again, which is good for those who like them, like you.

emptychair @Shiva49 I would agree that souls are eternal now, but unlike God, they must have had a beginning in God, who created them to be what they can be, and yet, if God remains God, presumably, he could rub out a soul too, but his great love for all parts of his...

emptychair @Shiva49 Yes, most people turn out to be something other than what they pretend to be; not many are truly caste, and are what they are, and aspire to be more too, better than they are, by attaching their life to something higher than to just their own wants,...

emptychair Yes, the gospel is written by fallible people too, not by God directly, so are open to interpretation, as even direct words from God need to pass through one's brain to be decoded for us too, and written down as close to his words as we can do so. Yes,...

emptychair @JudyEv Yes, it would have been an interesting, informative situation to see, and to learn from, how some people seem to be able to find the resources to handle most anything they need too.

I find many people taking great interest in correcting others. Not that they are very perfect but they seek to project self perfection by the way they nit-pick others' mistakes or faults and comment on them. Correction is taken...

emptychair I think the Christian bible advises us to correct our own mistakes first before we try to nitpick others for their mistakes too. Yes, we should always work on ourselves, and not try to work others over with what we are not correcting in ourselves. We should...

emptychair The cat looks healthy in your photo, so it must have known how to look after itself, for all that long time away. I reckon the owners had nearly given up on getting their cat back, so that is a good ending for them too, to get it back again after 443 days...

emptychair @Shiva49 I also avoid taking on loans of any sort, as borrowing always leads to more debt, for most people, not skilled in handling money wisely. Most people do want it now, and do not want to wait for tomorrow. Everyone more lives for themselves, than for...

emptychair But where did the soul come from, originally? Energy never dies, but was it ever born? I think if God created souls as part of his creation, they have existed since then, and so after its body dies here, there must be something else that it then does to...

emptychair That was a good rescue, as the dog would have been on thin ice, once it got very cold, and could not have extricated itself from its situation, on its own.

The photo is of a guinea pig, not a mouse. I heard a story today that I found amusing. The country town where we both grew up has two major grocery stores, Coles and IGA. A few months back, a naughty mouse chewed through a...

emptychair It certainly would not be amusing to Cole's, nor to me either, if it happened to me. It is sort of amusing how the people panicked right away, and bought out all of the products from IGA. They must have thought the mice might strike twice, and hit on IGA...

emptychair @Shiva49 We are learning more and more as a collective, as we go on, but knowledge can be pretty empty, as it can be emptied out of us quickly too, when we die, and lose all memory. Perhaps life means nothing individually, it is only in the oneness of...
