Lieber Kvatar,
weil Du deine Fragen auf English formuliert hast, antworte ich genau so. Aber mit Rucksicht auf andere Forum Teilnehmer die vielleicht Sich nicht ganz so fit auf English fühlen, schlag ich vor dass wir uns in Zukunft auf Deutsch einigen. Ich weiß dass ich viele grammatische Fehler auf Deutsch schreibe, aber mit etwas Geduld glaube ich die Meisten können verstehen woran es geht.
Q. If there are souls or something else as a basis of human being, and assumed they stay alive after dead - where did they come from when they were born the very first time?
A. They came from that which most people call God. It is important to understand the difference between the physical body and the Spirit associated with it. Only the physical body dies, not the Spirit.
Q. If they were present on earth from the beginning of time - where did these "souls" went in when there were no human creatures?
A. Wherever they could gain experience of the physical world.
Q. Did they start up with the monkeys as a first step? Have monkeys been the first creatures with a soul? If so, why don't monkeys connect to the souls of their grandfathers and grandmothers a.s.o.?
A. Depending on your religious belief model, there are different answers to this. Some insist that only human beings can have a soul, others that any living creature can have a soul, and others that anything can have a soul. Darwins theory of evolution deals with the physical world so trying to make it also fit the spiritual world is an inappropriate application of the theory and just leads to confusion. Try to avoid getting hung up on the monkeys.
Q. Have flowers been the first creatures on Earth with a soul? Does a stone have a soul? Do they connect dead flowers, having small talk "Hi, how do you do? What about the weather...?"
A. For those who believe that anything can have a soul, none of these examples would be a problem. This gets us into the direction of Shamanic beliefs where I am not expert. Try to direct this to someone with experience of Shamanic practices (e.g. North American Indian). However, flowers and plants do respond to kindness and to harmonious music. If you are familiar with the healing effects of certain stones, then you will know that there is more to them than at first meets the eye. The same goes for water.
Q. Why does a man have to die before I can connect to him (or better: his soul!) by spiritual practices?
A. It is possible to connect with the soul of someone who is alive. But usually, if someone is still alive, we can connect to them directly and easily without needing to use spiritual methods. This is why I always advise people that if they love someone to tell them now. It is so much harder to do it later without a physical body. There are some exceptions. For example, if someone is lying in hospital in a coma state, the only way to communicate effectively with them is on a spiritual basis. There are also countless documented examples of communication between twins, etc.
Q. Why can't I talk with a man who's going to be born in a thousand years?
A. In this case, you would be communicating with a Spirit. With the help of a medium this is possible. However, the Spirit may not yet have decided under exactly which circumstances it would like to incarnate in a thousand years. So, such a conversation would be unlikely to be very productive.
Q. Must the soul be "produced" before it can be given to a baby?
A. There is a period of preparation in the Spirit world prior to a soul being incarnated in the form of a baby. However, the Spirit world does not have the same basic concepts as the physical world in which we live. Since there are no physical bodies, a soul does not need to be produced. There is also no time as we know it in the Spirit world. I know this is hard for us to grasp, but give it a try. This is why God can be everywhere at the same time!
Q. If the soul is being reborn, in what kind of creature was it fixed before?
A. This depends on the particular soul. Generally souls spiritually either progress from one incarnation to the next or repeat the incarnation until they manage to fulfil the agreed mission before progressing.
Q. If the soul isn't to be reborn again (neither being reborn nor recycled ) - would you like to be flying around in the space as a Nobody? Or will these souls be lost into the "nothing" - for ever!?
A. By definition a soul which is neither born nor reborn is a no-body. The only lost souls are those which no longer have a physical body but for some reason have not yet gone into the light. Fortunately, provided they wish to find the light, it is possible to help them get there. No-thing only has a meaning when compared to some-thing and a soul is not a physical thing. Forever is only a relevant word for those living where time exists.
Best regards, John
