Living in a Parallel Universe

[putnam6]

I believe in reincarnation. I was born with a birthmark on my left testicle. I always said I thought I'd been shot with a musket ball and I'd have further issues. Later I went to the doctor, and they discovered a tumor there. They said it would never go away without surgery. Afrer a few months a meditation it disappeared. 

I believe life is purgatory. I think escaping it is rare, but achievable. My father wears a cross on his neck for insurance, but he believes we'll all be insects in the end. I believe we're all nodes of the same organism, akin to skin cells. 

Parallel universes? Yeah, I'm onboard, but I dont think it means what you think. I think we're thinking in the box.

Well that was really the shot heard around the world.

I heard that too that birthmarks have something to do with how you passed on in another life. It's weird I didn't think I had one till I shaved my head and there is one behind my left ear about the size of a nickel. Makes you wonder
