Like extra's on the stage of some set to be some no name, no face person in a short scene of a movie, where do those people in your dreams come from? You know the ones, the people you see with detail in your dreams but you never met this person or anyone who looked like them before last night in that crazy dream, where do the extra's come from?

" These ignorant men, O Partha, taking delight in Vedic utterances, say that there is nothing else and utter this flowery speech,

They speak on the authority of the Vedas and endorse the Vedic rites; but when they do so they are attached to their fruits. They say, "One should be born in this world and perform sacrifices and other rites and enjoy the delectable pleasures of heaven. Other than these celestial pleasures, there is nought else, which conduces to constant joy," so say these persons of dull wit."

Source:- Jnaneswari viz Bhagavad Gita

Can we say Lord Krishna is telling us to see those Visions behind those texts and words of Vedic utterences ?

Don't quote the Bible, the Qu'ran, or any other religious-type manuscript, just use your OWN thoughts, your OWN opinion, and your OWN reasoning, not anything borrowed from anyone or anything else. I want to know what YOU think.

Why do we must have a soul? What's wrong with not having one? Does anyone feel that we are making too much of an issue for something that may or may not be real? Are our egos as humans so big that we have to think of ourselves as eternal? What if we do not have a soul?

i'm just curious what is in heaven. yes you die and go to heaven and they say it's this very good and happy place, but what do you do there? is it just like earth? they say you'll spend eternity there honoring Christ, and then? so that's forever doing that only? forever is such a long time.

Are there not enough? Would the world benefit from their eradication, or their increase in strength?

I have a vegetarian friend, well he says he is a vegetarian because he doesn’t eat anything with a soul. To my friend that means no mammals, mammals have souls but chicken is okay to eat because birds don’t have souls, they aren’t mammals. So what is it, you have to be a mammal to have a soul, you have to have cognitive thought, you have to be self aware, have emotion??? So does your dog/soul have a soul? How about a snake, a rat, a cockroach, an ant, a tree? What has a soul?

If our souls have a beginning then that would mean that they would some day come to an end. But if they do not have a beginning that would mean that they won't have an end, but if they don't have a beginning then why wouldn't we be able to remember anything before this life etc.

What is it? A thing, an element, a molecule, your essense, or what?
How can anyone ask the question, "what happens to your soul after you die?" if we don't even know what is the "soul"?

I had the spirit of a deceased friend go through me. It was a feeling of something rushing right through you.

After that my entire view of life changed, and I decided to make the most of the time I have left.

It was the strangest experience of my life. I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this?

does that mean more than 3 quarters of the world go to 'hell'? I think it must be pretty crowded at this point.....and what about animals? They don't know Jesus from a blade of grass to munch on........so does that mean heaven is a huge church that sings hymms, has bar-b-ques (guess that answers the animal part of my question), on Easter Sunday with Jesus as the guest of honor and never a sorry word is ever said??

There are only 4 commonly used passages of Scripture to "prove that there is no marriage in heaven" but all 4 of these when proplerly understood, are shown to be commonly mis-interpreted. Does God make mistakes? Does He give people to each other only temporarily?
