I think I believe in the presence of souls. There's all that stuff about ghosts and past lives and reincarnation, which may or may not be true, but I'm going from personal experience.

There's this spot in my chest that pains and warms and grows cold depending on how I am feeling. It also coincides with chakras; there is one over the chest. These feelings over my chest are physical--especially when it pains. But we'll not go into that.

There is always the explanation of a physical manifestation of depression, but it has always felt like more than that.

On another note, there is also a chakra over the head. I was thinking about the idea of consciousness the other day, and how I've always imagined it as a sort of mist around the head, or a fog, since I always have a feeling of not being able to see or process things clearly. There are moments of clarity, but most of the time I'm too tired to think about things as clearly as I'd like it.
But anyway, I've always wondered why the consciousness can't just shut off or wander to someone else. It's just this weird feeling I've had since I was a kid that I can move it or shut it off or increase it if I try hard enough. I don't necessarily think that's true... but it's interesting to think about.

Well, those are my thoughts for the day as I go in to work.
Let me end this with a quote from Of Montreal: "May we grow so gentle, never go mental."
