I don't quite believe in organized religion (maybe I never will) but I do believe in the energies I felt. But that's not the point of this post.
So I've been doing some light research into all this stuff. I've been loosely following the forums, reading about indigo children, crystals, NDE's and other various topics. I'm still in the process of making my mind up, deciding what I believe and what I feel is too far out of my comfort zone to believe. But there is one thing I am set on.
We all have (at minimum) 1 soul. I'm not convinced we have multiple souls, or twin souls. But I believe we all have a soul. And the NDE reports I have read have me believing, at this time, that we do have souls that reincarnate after our physical body dies. This idea of our souls reincarnating... It brings forth a couple questions...
1) What is the purpose of reincarnating? I think we do it, but I don't understand why
2) If the soul is on a journey, where is it going?
3) From what I gather, not all souls are the same age? Young and Old souls...So how does that work?
4)If all souls were created at the same time, is it simply the fact that some bodies die faster than others, thus those souls have a chance to reincarnate faster than the souls in bodies that live to be older?
5)Or, is there a greater purpose for our souls and once we have completed that purpose, our soul ascends into whatever is next?

The reincarnational journey culminates in 'enlightenment', after which the soul no longer reincarnates, UNLESS they come back again to help, in which case they would be what's called an 'avatar'. Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna were avatars. More recent examples of avatars are J. Krishnamurti and Paramhansa Yogananda.
BUT, to think that the ONLY purpose of reincarnation and life on earth is to find enlightenment is completely incorrect imo. Many, actually most, souls on earth didn't incarnate to find enlightenment, or even to get closer to it, but rather for various purposes which can be understood by simply observing their lives. For example, Michael Jordan came to earth to be a great basketball player. My point is that there are many reasons to come to earth, and finding enlightenment is only ONE of them. To love and be loved is another. I also feel that each soul has lessons it came to earth to learn.
