Mysterious Journey of the Soul

Many of us are intrigued about life and death, the soul and the destiny. Especially when we had an experience of a past life regression, the reality of another body, another life can make one very thoughtful.

I had a past life experience of a life in which I had a body of a man. When the experience started, I was a small boy, eight years old. At first I could see myself from the side and observe how I was dressed in brown pants , brown vest, white shirt and had shiny brown shoes. It was an official occasion. In fact, it was a funeral. I saw a young, beautiful woman lying in a coffin, her body covered with blooming red roses. Her face was fresh, her cheeks had a reddish hue, with curly black hair, and she looked as if she was just sleeping. It was my mother in that lifetime. And I immediately got the realization that this is the very same person that is my mother in this life. We have a deep, strong connection, since we know each other for a long time.

After a while I felt I was present in that body of a boy and I was not only observer anymore. That was a fascinating feeling. It was me, the same me, but in a different body. I have a female body in this life, but there I had a male. And yet, the essence of my being was the same.

This essence of one's very self is the soul. The soul does not change when the body changes. In fact, changing the body is like changing the dress for the soul. Since the body is temporary, the soul accepts another body, when the present body is finished.

But why are we sometimes in a male body and sometimes in a female body? That is determined by our mindset at the moment of death. Whatever we think of at that crucial moment will determine where we will go and what will be our next body. And our last thoughts are the culmination of our thinking and willing that we had throughout our life.

The soul is ete
al spiritual entity, never dies, and is never born. Being trapped in a material body is like being in a cage. And the soul can get out of that cage, when he gains the knowledge and is able to rise his consciousnes to spiritual consciousness.
