Tinnitus is the best description I can articulate for the way my brain reports Lindsey’s presence. It is sort of like the cosmic background radiation of the big bang — there is no direction whence it comes — it completely engulfs and permeates my perceptible sphere. Now I sense it 24/7/365 and know it can be the presence of anyone from the other side. https://medium.com/flowers-of-inspiration/12th-step-1st-step-conscious-contact-with-heaven-8854ae714389

Ulf, does your school of Buddhism recognize souls? I've come to realize that despite the insistence of some militant Buddhists that have attacked me on this platform, that there are several schools and some do recognize souls, which does not, as I extrapolate, contradict those schools that say no souls, once we agree on a definition of souls.

"One of the most ancient rejections of the self is the Buddhist doctrine of anatta — the belief that there is no self, or soul, or other permanent essence of who we are. ... I have reviewed several definitions of “soul” in preparation for this essay and none imply unchanging personality traits. That inference is misplaced and, frankly, illogical. Buddhism teaches that there is after-life and reincarnation. Thus, Buddhism does teach that there is an eternal soul once soul is properly defined." https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/eternal-soul-properly-defined-fe7a93e534f8
