Would that mean in this hypothesis that they're here physically but not spiritually or that they're an illusion of those who are here? So all of those who have souls view the same illusions? Can those who "are here" identify those who are not? The second possibility would frighten me because it would justify two-tiered humanity.
There's not knowing and not understanding. Could it be that who posseses a soul is unknowable? I accept that there are things that are unknown and unknowable to humans.
Now mix this with messing with DNA, organ transplants, the possiblility of splicing DNA for non-human characteristics in humans. Do these things create soullessness?
These are all crazy questions, for sure. But I wonder. We can't be all there is. If we were, we'd self destruct by now. Maybe if there are more humans than souls, humanity is destined to self destruct, as our being depends on a higher order.
My head is spinning.....
“Now mix this with messing with DNA, organ transplants, the possibility of splicing DNA for non-human characteristics in humans. Do these things create soullessness?”
NO.... however souls are sliced and attached to other people. Former Govenor Casey in Pennsylvania received a heart lung transplant several years ago and it changed certain things about him... such as he never drank coffee prior and after the transplant he could not get enough.
Many times it is extra souls attaching rather than no-soul.
Two of my children have been doing genetic engineering and cloning research in medical schools. The subject fascinates me.
Here is a thought to ponder.... When man cloned Dolly the sheep, where did her soul come from? Is it possible that the soul that entered the cloned body was already here from a deceased sheep and it just entered the new body. Since the biological clock had already unfolded on the deceased sheep’s soul it could explain the premature aging of cloned animals!!! Who knows?
