I saw a promo for an upcoming show where they will follow a woman through her death and into cryogenics in the hopes that one day she will come back. So this got my mind to wondering. Let's suppose that someday, all these frozen people will come back to life. If our soul leaves our bodies when we die, what happens after years and maybe a century or more pass? Would the same soul return to the body? Or would it be possible that a different soul would enter? What do you think?

Good question. I've often wondered the same thing. Anyone who's been out of body has proof that we can leave the body and return. But for extended periods of time is another question. Some people have a belief that other people can walk-in on living bodies if the orignal spirit leaves it.
Hard to say. If we are attached somehow to a living body then if put in cryogenics the body isn't really alive. It is inanimate. This could sever the tie. But maybe it takes an actual death to the body to sever the tie.
Then there is the whole question of why some people stick around on this plane of existance. Would cryogenics not give you the release you need to move on.
This is similar to being unconscious due to a coma or sedatives. The reason why some believe all of our spiritual experiences are only abnormal activities in the brain. NDEs, OBE's etc.. are just the wonderful brain under some sort of influence. Doesn't account for everything. =)

Good question.

Thanks. Not many takers on this subject yet except for you Nakis. I think that time and space to the spirit are non-existant so many years would mean nothing. So I guess if you were removed from your body, you could come back once it is revived. But I don't see the point. Why would you want to come back? I think people who want to come back don't believe the soul goes to a better or maybe different place than here. They want to live forever.

So maybe the soul when it does leave a body cryogenically frozen decides whether or not to sever the tie. Well I guess I'll never know in my lifetime.

This is a good question, Pandora -- sorry so late in adding my 2 cents.

I dunno, but I tend toward the rebirth of the soul into a new body. Reincarnation, if you will. As we know, the living body is simply a vessel; I just find it hard to believe that *if* cryogenics somehow/someday works out the way they hope, that the same person's soul would 'find' the same body. It may already be in someone new!

I'm of the thought that it is the brave souls that come to this plane of existance to take on a body.
So if my body shuts down and I move the next world I really don't think I'll want to come back. =) If memory serves me correctly we really don't want to come back. There are plenty of experiences you can have in this world that aren't the same in the next but after spending some years here I believe it's a welcome relief to finally make it to the next.

Good point Kell. But if time only really matters here or at least the same principles do not cover time as here then it's possible we could come back to the same body even though we moved onto another body. The good ole time paradox. =)

Reincarnation may not be linear.

I have "memories" of many of what would seem like past lives but I also have it of what seems like future lives and of lives that exist in this time period. It's hard to explain (like anything paranormal is easy to explain). Maybe these "memories" or visions are some of other lives of my soul/spirit and some are race memories? Or some are just through a connection to the ALL?
What I am saying isn't trying to answer the question Kim posed. Just exploring the possibility through experience. Unless of course these 'experiences' are just figments or creations of my subconcious.

Any which way things go, I don't plan on exploring this particular possibility. Maybe get the answer after I moved on but no popsicle Nakis's are going to be created if I can help it. I'll leave that up to people like Walt Disney and the woman Kim is talking about.

I didn't mean reincarnating as a popsicle or anything else. The popsicle reference was just for the body freezing. The body becoming a popsicle. Not one's soul/spirit inhabiting a popsicle or anything else.
