I was holding my brother Michael's hand when he passed away. He had been unconscious for two days, but if I let go of his hand, he would begin moving it, as if looking for mine. Seeing this, my sister Moira and I took turns holding his hand so that someone always was. During these two days, he often made unintelligible sounds, as if muffled discussion with someone else, first always disagreeing, then always agreeing. There was a definite internal experience happening there, and I thought I could feel it with him as I held his hand. Throughout my life he often held my hand while we were walking or sitting together, even as an adult. During those two days, his hand seemed limp and I sometimes wondered if there was any part of "Michael" left in his body. Until the moment of his passing. There was a very slow release of the already relaxed "grip" on my hand as he passed away. I felt a strong pull from my chest (heart) going with him. I was finally left with the touch of his hand absent his life. This is a moment I will never forget.
-- So, Jaya, I can see the truth in what you say about the spark of life we all have within us. The spark of life - life itself. I think it connects us, and in it, we are one.

> Thanks for your post Jaya. Your post is definitively not spam for me. It is an opinion looking for feedback. It has questions waiting for answers. It motivates thinking. I think that deep within my mind is a recording and memory of every second that I lived. All my sensory inputs are recorded and all my thoughts are recorded and all my reactions are recorded. They are all recorded so that I can review them and share them with everyone after I die so that we can all learn from each others experience of our lives. During our life, we can not fully retrieve this information, except perhaps when we dream or when we are hypnotized. I think that the reason we can not reveal every second of our past in all of its detail is so that we can concentrate on the present. We are like a recording machine. My question is, after I die and share someone's past life with all of that detail, how can I tell that I am just passively re experiencing an already lived life and that in this re experience, my apparent free will is just an illusion? My question is similar to Allan's input on the post regarding "disgust" about how can we tell the difference between dreaming and being awake. Telling the difference between dreaming and being awake is easy for me. If it alternates between butterfly-human-elephant-human-horse-human-etc-human and if the human is always "me", then it is clear that the reality is "me" and the dreams are all of the other animals I dream that I am. The only time I would have a problem of differentiating reality from dreams is when I would always dream that I was the very same butterfly. But if I re experience somebody's past life with all of the details, how can I know that I am just passively re living his life and actually do not have any free will. Or stating that in other words, how can I know that the life that I assume to be living right now is not just a dream and that the free will that I cherish so much is not just an illusion?

Intelligence has to do with the soul, not simply with the brain.
Take electricity, for example. Electricity moves between gross elements and through a gross wire. But the electricity itself -- it is not those elements, not that wire. It is subtle.
__________
( tell me did you ever seen how electricity works ? ) You cannot see this subtle thing directly; you can see it only when it interacts with something gross. But the subtle thing is independent and distinct from the gross things.

( Even though gravitation does exist, we can't really see it. Modern science admits that. )

According to the Vedas, the measurement of the soul within the body is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of a hair. This is very small; in fact, it is atomic. Yet because of that atomic spiritual energy, my body is working. Is it so difficult to understand? Suppose a man thinks himself very stout and strong. Why is he stout and strong? Only because within his body is a small spiritual spark. But as soon as the spiritual spark is gone, his body dies, and his strength and vigor become void. If scientists say that matter is the cause and origin of life, then let them bring just one dead man back to life by injecting him with chemicals. But this they cannot do.
___________
If you inject just one grain of deadly poison into someone, he immediately dies. No one can see the poison or how it acts. But the poison is acting nevertheless. In the same way, the Vedas say that because the minute particle called the soul is within the body, the whole body is working nicely. If I pinch myself, I immediately feel it, because I am conscious all over my skin. But as soon as the soul is absent, which is the case when my body dies, you can take this same skin and cut it and chop it, and no one will protest.
