A bizarre question...

We were watching Ghost lat night when My lackey asked a question that had even Me stumped.

He wanted to know what happens when a Real Person dies in terms of spirits. Will there be just one? A platoon or company? Will they all be able to manifest spirit powers like possession individually or will what one does tap the others too?

I have to admit I'm not sure on ANY of these, so I'm curious as to what the rest of you think.

well, the answer to that is highly dependent on belief system. The ancient Egyptians believed that each non multiple person's soul was divided into 7 parts - and different things happened to each one upon death.

I'm not really sure exactly how things are composed in here - but I do believe that many of us have had incarnations before that were singular or multiple with a different group - and it's quite likely that we'll do so again.

I don't know if that makes sense to you or not - I know that my belief structure is "not typical". :)

That was about what I came up with, along with a capsule version of the old Catholic belief that DID was actually demon possession -- which implies multiple souls. Of course, I'm not Catholic...

Thanks for the reply! :)
