Idon't really read into it like it's the by means truth but I think there's a lot of really good points in it. Basically like a religious text ya know. Just be a good person.
The cool thing is that you are or were that person. Every injustice, every amount of pain, every wrong you did to yourself. I thought that was really cool. A very thoughtful and good piece of writing.

We are separated only by different incarnations. Thats why science can't find a soul.

We're not all eggs, we're all THE EGG, according to the story, every life that has ever lived, or will live is that one "person"

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”
“All you. Different incarnations of you.”
“Wait. I’m everyone!?”
we're not all one person though. but we all live by some incarnate human force. i'm just saying the story is kinda... one sided. it's not really got any depth. it's still kinda touching though, i'm not really trying to diss it or anything.

We might be. Who knows I don't. I believe in reincarnation. Young and old souls. Sometimes you meet people that are just wise beyond the short amount of time they've been here.
Just my beliefs though no need for you atheists to come in here and bash me proving something that really can't be disproved as nobody truly knows.

Well yeah its neat but so is the easter bunny.... I really think its more accurate to say we are all connected
Like.... looping around time with all these reincarnations... ay ay ayyyy Personally, im feelin pretty fresh here on earth... like... a first timer. I mean, even the math of soals to current humans doesnt add up to any kind of sense to be flipped around to different times. seesh

I wasn't saying I agreed with the story, just clarifying that we're not eggs plural, we're one single egg, according to the story.
But i'm on the same page as you I think, I wish the story explained how it was possible to all be the same person instead of god being a cheeky cunt and being mysterious.
Because yeah, lots o holes in this story.

it's as mysterious as it is redundant. we are all eggs and we have a make-belief egg we want to make. the story might as just say that.
yeah we all do.

From what ayahuasca taught me there is some truth here. "we are one" Is the resounding message. In that , we come from the same source, and as the essence of that source, we return. Connected individuals

A cluster of mushrooms come from the same mycelium, but can produce drastically different fruit bodies, even to the point of albino / other mutations.
If we are all one, we are the fruit bodies, and the "one" is our mycelium so to speak, whatever that may be.

Just my beliefs. After having read AL the major books. I'm a big fan of taoism which has nothing to do with God but I also believe in reincarnation. Your not going to change my mind on it so there's no point in trying.

I think the egg is a possibility, but is also a little humanized to make it more entertaining.
I'm a pantheist so I do believe in the idea of one soul. I see it as one large cosmic soul, beyond species. So even all those poor ants you tormented as a child

I can dig it 
I'm not saying I believe the mycelium thing, just trying to make sense of the "one" existence in the story.
Some people are just straight disconnected from humanity though, like the charles manson type people.

Oh ya. I used to shove fire crackers in an ant Hill. One time I found this pretty damn big beetle for being in Alaska tied him to a bottle rocket and lit that shit. Bugs don't have souls fuck all that. I stay as far away from bugs as possible. Why I hated going further south. Like Florida and Arizona.
Mosquitos are the worst I still have scars on my right arm scratching it when I was a kid. Fuck them. I've killed a lot if them I'd guess we'll over 1000

Bugs do have a soul. Bugs are you, just in a more limited less evolved form.
Kids torture bugs because they are learning about good and evil and develop a conscience.

Try living in Minnesota dude. Land of 1000 lakes. Mosquitos lay eggs in still water..
You know how much fucking still water there is in MN? Fucking billions of gallons, maybe trillions, I don't even know how much. Too fucking many.

Fuck certain bugs then, fuck those parts of myself, if bugs are me.
If I'm mosquitoes and ticks and parasites, I should kill myself for the good of the world. If I could suicide bomb all of those bugs away I would. Even just mosquitoes and ticks, If I could suicide bomb all of them at once, I'd die for that cause.

Ya I don't do it anymore beside swatting the occasional bug that's bothering me. But I absolutely did. There really aren't any mosquitos here which were the biggest offenders.
Bees aren't a thing anymore I've seen one.
Spiders creep me out I've seen some pretty big ones but let them go there own way.
But honestly I haven't really been seeing any at all recently and it's summer. Must be global warming

Good ups for letting them live, I fucking love spiders, they really don't do any harm to humans on purpose, if some giant mother fucker fucked up your home you'd bite him too. Fucking fascinating creatures, they have venom potent enough to kill an elephant ( think brown recluses can idk for sure) and they can be the size of a penny and kill a man, and their spider webs are stronger than steel.

Ya see even putting my finger on that image gave me the creeps. I think I'm more scared of them than they are of me. They say you kill a spider It's gonna rain. I have killed plenty one summer in Alaska I killed a fuck ton as they were everywhere. It rained every day.
Obviously not buying into the myth but the coincidence is funny.
Now a days I just go my way and they go do whatever creepy spider shit they do. It honestly feels like there are considerably less bugs around.
I know bees are on the point of worth significant money.
