That would be an explanation for it though, i don't feel like a soul that comes back straight away each time (i mean, life outside a body would be fun  plus i have a "job" to do in between incarnations...hee-hee you'd know that Rei, we're from the same order).
What are your thoughts about the frequency of reincarnation? |
Tee hee...

... I forgot the number of incarnations from my SR reading. It was more than three, though, so I guess that info was accessible regarding the cosmos and not just earth. I get a weird feeling response (sort of not a full resonance) about my SR reading nowadays... not sure why... might be good to figure it out, though.
@Melchior: I thought of a very loose idea that may help, though it isn't perfect. The soul structure according to my idea of the shamanic framework is similar to a sunflower. The center of the sunflower is the part of the soul (aka core self) which always has integrity, is perfect, whole and pure. (Blerg, apparently the center of a sunflower is technically many tiny flowers but I'm speaking about the shape and structure to the physical eye

)
And then you have the petals of the sunflower, which would be like the soul parts I discussed above. A disturbing experience would be like a person pulling one of the petals. However, the example breaks down, because it is hard to think of how we could return a sunflower petal to its original place around the center of the flower - but soul retrieval would be similar to bringing that petal back to its original place.
The entire sunflower is the core self, the soul, yet there is a part of it that maintains that integrity and a part that is not guaranteed to maintain that integrity.
Like I said, not a perfect example but perhaps it will help?
