Multiple Souls Theory


What happens when two souls are reincarnated into a single solitary body? First, it is imperative to understand the concept of souls. The definition of a soul is the spiritual part of a human being regarded as immortal. The soul is what gives the body life. The soul is the cosmic liquid that fills the empty vessel that is our body. Without one, we wouldn’t be alive. Second, it is important to understand what reincarnation is and how it works. Reincarnation is the belief that our souls are reborn over and over again until we finish our unfinished business here on earth. Whether that business is fixing a past mistake or learning a valuable lesson. There can be many reasons for a soul to be reincarnated.


There have been several television series and movies that demonstrate this idea as a real possibility. Two such movies include the films My Soul To Take and The Ward. Both movies represent the idea that the body can house multiple souls simultaneously, often without the individual’s awareness of the other soul’s presence. 


Many cultures (Central and Southern Asia as well as Indonesia) believe that what we commonly call “multiple personalities” is actually a person with multiple souls. According to Asian and Indonesian cultures, many believe that a person’s life and personality are made up of a complex set of psychic interrelations. “The various souls are identified with the separate organs of the body; in others they are related to character traits.” Each one of the uniquely independent souls make up one part of a solitary individual. And each soul has a different predetermined fate after departing from this life. Northern Asian people believe that one soul (or spirit) stays with the deceased’s physical body, one soul makes it’s way up into the heavens, while the remaining soul travels down deep into the netherworld.


In traditional Chinese culture, there are two spirits (or souls) which correlate with yin and yang respectively. Within this soul dualism, every human has both a "spiritual soul" that leaves the body after death and a "physical soul" that remains with the corpse. Chinese traditions differ over the number of spiritual souls and physical souls an individual may possess.


Consider this, the soul is transferred to an unborn baby, a fetus only a few seconds old in the womb. When two or more souls fight over the possession of that fetus (or embryo) both souls are jockeying for control. In the process, both souls end up taking ownership of that embryo. When this happens, it often results in twins, or triplets, being born. The embryo splits so that every soul has its own proper, individual body. Consider the case of fraternal twins, where the children are physically identical but have completely different personalities from one another.


In some cases, when two souls take charge of the same body, the embryo is unable to split or separate at all, leading to the child having a multiple personality disorder. In these particular cases, each individual personality has its own thoughts, ideas, and even memories. The character, Kevin, in the film Split starring James McAvoy, being a prime example of this.


Theoretically, there is a dominant soul and a dormant soul. The dormant soul only showing itself in times of great stress, as a need to protect the others. Sometimes the two (or more) souls can co-exist harmoniously. Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero) in the tv series Doom Patrol is a perfect example of this particular theory. 


No matter what the individual’s unique situation, it can be a constant struggle within their own minds. Each soul has their own distinct personality, wants and desires. The multiple souls may not even be aware of the other inhabitants. Their mind can be torn between two lovers, two different career goals, and two very different dreams of the future. 


There are several cases where the subject acts a specific way while awake, but if that person were to fall asleep, suddenly the dormant soul can become active and behave much differently. When the dormant soul is awake, present and in temporary control, the subject may walk or talk, but in a very different manner than normal. But, once the person falls back to sleep, upon waking up the following morning, the dominant soul is back in control. Rarely do they retain any memory of the following night’s events or the dormant soul ever even being present.


All in all, the multiple soul theory is a very real possibility, and hope for a legitimate explanation for multiple personality disorders.

Collector of Souls

Her: “It’s good to see you.” Him: “I know it’s been awhile.” Her: “I heard you joined the army.” Him: “Yeah, that was a crazy ride.” Her: “I heard rumors in town. That you died over there...” Him: “You can’t believe rumors.” He knew she still cared. Her: “So, what kind of work do you do now?” Him: He held his breath, his thoughts screaming loud. Him: “I’m a collector of sorts.” Her: “A collector of what?” Him: “A collector of souls.” Her: “I doubt that very much.” Him: “You see that old black Buick? New haircut, new clothes?  They’re part of the perks, of being a collector of souls.” She smiled an amused grin, and patted his chest. “If you say so, sweetheart. But you’ve traveled far and need your rest.” Him: “You don’t have to believe me. Maybe it’s better that way.” Her: “Oh, you never told me! How long can you stay?” He smiled a sad smile, put his hand on her back, “Not long I’m afraid.” It was time that he lacked. He kissed her forehead, saying, “I know you’ve been sick.” With tears

The Facts About Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism

The difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is that one is caused by an underactive thyroid gland while the other is an overactive thyroid gland. The thyroid glands are small glands, almost butterfly-shaped, situated in the front of your throat as the base. Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland. This is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not manufacture enough of specific important hormones, causing a chemical imbalance in your body. The two important hormones being triiodothyronine and thyroxine, also known as T3 and T4. These two important hormones have a huge impact on your body and health, affecting all aspects of a person’s metabolism. Hypothyroidism primarily affects women in the sixties and older. Untreated, it may lead to such things as obesity, infertility, joint pain, heart disease and even an enlarged thyroid (goiter). Most symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, sluggishness, weight gain, high cholesterol levels, depre

Free Speech

I fail to understand why so many individuals feel as if their opinions are the only ones worth listening to. Some people either shove their opinions down your throat or call you a racist simply for disagreeing with them. It certainly seem as if a great deal of people these days react this way when speaking to anyone who has an opposing view. Last I checked however, this is still America. In America, everyone is entitled to voice their own personal opinions, EVERYONE.  Everyone should be able to voice their personal feelings and beliefs, without having to fear some type of retaliation or punishment. If you’re allowed to kneel without condemnation, then you should also be allowed to stand without receiving condemnation. Not just Democrats, not just Liberals, and not just Leftists. Not just Republicans, not just Conservatives, and not just the Right.   It’s also important to remember that individuals can disagree with one another and still remain friends. Only someone truly immature would
