I don't believe in hell. Heaven I see as an expression of all that is good in the world, but not necessarily an outer place. Though it could be an inner place we all find when we're alone with our thoughts and pray or think deep.
I probably wouldn't have believed in reincarnation but there are too many coincidences for it to be untrue.. so I do believe it's possible.

Spiritually I don't think we die and I'm not sure we were ever born but we do exist outside time and space, beginnings and endings, past/present/future, black and white .. and, though I know this is very debatable, I believe we exist for a purpose.

I believe in reincarnation,and it's one of the reasons why I believe homosexual relationships aren't wrong. I believe that the gender has no soul. I believe that we can have pastlives as both male and female. Maybe homosexual couples were heterosexual couples in pastlives. Maybe one of them was tuned to his/her pastlives as the opposite gender which involves attraction to the gender that he/she is now. I strongly believe that ban against gay marriage can be violation of religious/spiritual beliefs. These laws based on Christian values. Not everybody in USA is a Christian. I am definitely not. Slavery used to be legal,and it was defended by many Christians. They actually thought it was a christian thing. Interracial relationships/marriages were banned,and those laws were based on Christian values. I am the offspring of an interracial couple myself, and I am in an interracial relationship. If I lived before 1950,I wouldn't want people telling me who I can love. Screw that! That's how I feel about gay couples. They should be allowed to follow their hearts and be with the ones that they love.

I probably have a lot of female pastlives,and so I have strong female characteristic traits,but I am heterosexual though. I don't fit the male stereotypes. My strong female traits can help me relate to females easily that I get along with them. Of course,they get me looked down upon by many men as well as women who prefer a manly man. I am glad that my girlfriend loves me for who I am.

I also believe in the possibilities of parallel universes where we could have identical souls living simultaneously but not making the same decisions about things which creates different futures.

I also believe that we can connect to parallel universes and other dimensions through the collective unconscious,dreams.

yeah...I know....this is my Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd,Mercury parallel Neptune,and Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint talking and maybe my Mercury biquintile Eris too... The multidimensional thinking of my Dyslexia maybe.

I believe that existence is infinite with infinite possibilities just like numbers are infinite.

It'd be nice if marriage could become a purely religious institution, it would increase equality for the 7 or so percent of this population that is homosexual. This way we could even have gay marriages, performed by new age, unitarian, or unite church of christ ministers. Marriage should be a spiritual union, not a financial contract, although many would disagree with me.

Glaucus I was born and raised in Sacramento.

As for where we go when we die, I believe the answer is nowhere. Glaucus is right, existence is infinite, much like numbers. You only need a binary code to create an infinite number of combinations. This duality can be seen across existence, light and dark, matter and space...time and, anti-time?

Utlimately I have trouble believing in anything as solid or structured as reincarnation, heaven or hell, the answer is surely more mysterious that sometihng we can comprehend. The human mind keeps things in a very small frame of reference. We compartmentalize, we humanize things. But the mystery of life is perhaps what makes it so precious and amazing. I believe if we actually could perceive what was truly going on around us, we'd go insane.

I belive in reincarnation because of the dreams I've had with relitively detailed information among other things. There was a time when I thought I was really stupid for even thinking I could have been reincarnted, but as I've grown I have come to terms with it.
