Really? The had pictures of souls? What did they look like?

Funny, I've been in the presence of many dying people and I've never seen a soul leaving the body.

Animals are said to sense things humans can't. I don't know how though. I think they do seem to.

Also, here's why 50 grams. It's been said, that human soul weighs 50 grams. Well, they decided to prove it.
They had a fella, who practices what they called "controlled dreams". To my knowledge on the subject, "soul" leaves body during deep sleep. A person with controlled sleep actually stays awake inside his or her dream, by being consciously aware that he or she is in a dream. It's a separate thread for discussion, really. They made assumption that if soul does leave the body, then body weight will change.

Sure enough, after they had him on a bed placed atop of scientific scale, when he went into deep sleep, gauge showed weight reduction of - yes, 49 grams.

Here ya go. Let the discussion begin.
You do realize that there have been numerous oddballs who have "proved" how much the soul weighs.....

Don't believe me?

how much does the human soul weigh?

Let Me Google That

Anyone who does not believe that dogs have souls has obviously not shared a deep loving relationship with a dog companion.

Dogs definitely have souls and they can visit us from the ''other side'' if we are open to it.

I've seen and experienced my beloved girl several times since her death 2 years ago.

I only hope one day I will be with her again.

One cubic meter of air at sea level has a density of 1.2kg. It is very possible, and likely, that every time we exhale we are losing 49g, or 21g, of weight. So perhaps when he went into his "dream" his breathing slowed to a rate for such a duration as to allow for the loss of weight before any noticing it was being gained back. I mean, it is called a controlled dream, right?
