Well, I'm no great authority. I'm only speaking from my own understanding/view of The All, but yeah, I think it is supposed to be the same soul. This supposedly explains past life experiences and such.

I'm rather puzzled about it all, too. It is the idea of coherent consciousness throughout that appeals to me as well. I think we all want to remain unique, ourselves, no matter what else happens.

I can't say that I have any past life memories, though. Then again, I haven't had any regressions or past life readings done, partially because so much of that kind of thing is flim-flam, and I am, above all, a logical sort of person.
