Do we have souls?

[Starboard Tack]

60. I don't know if it continues after the body dies.

And to me that is not really important. To me the soul is not part of a linear existence, constrained by time, but rather exists in an infinite number of dimensions, or realms of existence, including the current physical one. Time is a human construct, as is religion and everything else we define, to help us deal with this dimension that we call reality, or life.
Many years ago, I had an 11 year old son. We were playing chess one night, when he suddenly stopped playing, looked at me and asked "What happens when we die?" I replied that I didn't know, but that I imagined life as a dream, where things change, like stepping out of a room into an endless corridor and randomly entering another room, where everything may be different or everything may be the same, like parallel universes. He said "OK, I see what you're trying to say", and we continued playing with no further discussion. The next morning he went on an errand with a family friend. They passed a car that had run off the road into a ditch and stopped to see if anyone needed help. He ran across the road and was killed instantly by another car coming down the road. I tell this because I will never forget the look in his eyes when he asked the question. A question he had never asked before. Part of him knew. I call it his soul part.
