Do you believe in Soul Exchanges?

[GalTrav]

If yes, why do you think they occur?

[vis-à-vis]

I do!, because I feel the soul to be limitless and probably wanting to experience different exchanges in all forms and dimensions.

Have you experienced it yourself?

[oldasthesea]

I don't know. Anything is possible in the spiritual world and in this world.

I had never really thought of this before. But it makes me wonder, if it can happen, which part of us would be aware of it happening?

Would my physical body feel like something in side me is different, maybe new thoughts and feelings?

Or would I wake up one day and look in the mirror and not recognize myself because my vessel has suddenly changed?

I'm really starting to believe it is so!

I mean, I'm pretty certain that the soul currently occupying my body isn't the same one that was as a child, and it would surprise me if a second came through, was like, "screw this," and then left and then either my current soul is the one I was born with and it needed a break from maddening chronic pain and misfortune, or it's some star person or somebody, because I look at pictures of myself as a child, and while the memories are in my brain, and I can remember them like they were yesterday (if yesterday is a little foggy) I have no connection with them at all. It's just the body that I'm currently occupying before I occupied it. I've seen some pretty huge personality shifts at three key points in my life, and one was accompanied by a year of me viewing life from outside of my body (just above the back of my head with a 300 degree field of view; it was neat and fascinating. The phenomena is called depersonalization in psychology, albeit I had a more sever case due to it's triggering factor, anxiety, being heightened by pain, and pain's tendency to heighten anxiety. It just created a never-ending loop until I started actively rewriting my personality because I was just going down the way wrong path, which was arguably a slow soul exchange, but the earlier one was when my pain started. My theory is that my should decided to protect itself from the really detrimental effects that pain has on a mind and soul, because I went pretty crazy because it took me 3 years of going from doctor to doctor to get any real help, all the while I felt like I was on fire 24-7 and that there was hydrochloric acid eating my muscles from the inside out and gasoline in my spinal column. I would say that the whole experience has made me realize that the body is little more than a rotting meat sack designed to allow extra dimensional beings to experience organic life by occupying it while it rots. I still haven't gotten over the fact that time doesn't pass properly at all anymore. Mostly, now is forever and infinity is contained in each moment, and I can better appreciate how much beauty exists in each moment every single moment of my day and life. That part is nice, but the dragging out of the pain is unpleasant and intolerable, but even the withered trees breathe as I walk down the street, and they're beautiful, so it's okay.

Yeah, the thoughts and feelings initially are actually exactly the same, but they have a different inclination, so then the soul rewires the brain by changing the thought patterns and settles in. There is no fragmentation of the self into parts, honestly, you're still experiencing it via your body (in some cases) but the soul is different, like, it's the same car, but Danny Devito got out and Sean Connery got in and started driving, ya know what I mean? And it's not that you don't recognize yourself, it's that others don't recognize you for who and what you currently; they project a different soul onto you, and it just does't fit. It's quite alienating, honestly.

Personally, I do not...

[LifeWhispers]

I read of a case where a man was involved in a terrible car accident. He 'died', but was successfully resuscitated. After making a full recovery, he and his family say he was 'different'. Not only did his outlook on life and his beliefs seem to instantly change, but his likes and dislikes were different, even the way he dressed. He suddenly had great knowledge and understanding of things that were completely unknown to him before.

He even went on to change his name, because he no longer identified with the person/body he was previously known as.

This is a very interesting topic for me. I think I'll try to find his story and read it again.

I just thought of something. Let's say this man had another soul before the accident well he died maybe because his mission had been fulfilled and when he was resuscitated another soul came inside the same body since the physical body as we all know is just a vehicle. And since the body was still okay and maybe could live another 20-30 yrs then the next soul who inhabited it maybe his mission was only good for another 20-30 yrs just enough for the body to carry out and fulfill this other soul's mission. Yes it is very interesting.

Makes sense to me.
