text: I used to be an atheist, don’t get me wrong I didn’t have a near death experience or experience what’s known as a miracle to others. I’ve merely found a theory which to me explains everything that happens in this world. To understand let me tell you about my past and the events which had let up to me becoming the laughing stock of the scientific community. My name is Tyrel smith and I was a respectable physicist, one of the best in my field. Never once did I entertain the thought of an afterlife or the supernatural being any more than a delirium among my fellow man, a story made up to explain all the oddities and fears in this world or to simply take the fear out of death itself. Religion was a joke; I mean how can something be created from nothing especially the vast universe and our world in 6 measly days no less. It’s absolutely absurd, so when they would try to converse with me about the greatness of their lord I simply laughed and brushed them aside, however after doing my own investigation into some of the oddities that plague our world, I came to a conclusion which sounds crazy but makes the most sense. It all started 6 months ago whilst I was looking into how black holes affect our universe and what potentially lies at the singularity at its core. This research was based on something known as the black hole cosmology, a theory that each black hole contains a universe at its core proposed by a theoretical physicist to which I found intriguing. I mean seriously there has to be a place for all the matter black holes consume to go right, anyways I'm getting distracted back to the point. I had spent 2 years researching this seeing if it could tie in to our theory of the big bang, to which we have evidence is the start of our universe, I enjoyed doing my research listening to audio books of various subject, so one of my colleagues Samantha suggested I listen to stories from a youtuber who only ever told true stories that enveloped the area of mystery and the disturbing, which seemed like a joke at first but after a while they fascinated me. One story in particular had me bewildered, though I don’t think you would know about it but it's about this old woman who passed away, however the part that bewildered me was how she had led her life and what she proclaimed. I'll explain the story then explain why I'm no longer respected by my colleagues. so in 1904 a girl was born, her name was Dorothy, at the age of 3 she had fallen down the stairs in her home. Her parents had called a doctor who pronounced her dead shortly after arriving, after an hour had gone-by she had gotten up and started playing in her room. However, the girl was never the same after that her mannerisms had changes and she had frequently asked her parents to take her home much to their surprise, they had frequently asked her where is home to which the girl could not give an answer. This doesn’t quite seem odd coming from a child it seems quite natural that she would have these confusing thoughts after such a horrible accident, however this would persist throughout her entire life. One day they took her to a museum which had recently opened an Egyptian exhibit, shortly after the girl had entered the exhibit, she started acting weirdly running up to all the statues of the pharaohs and sphinx kissing their feet crying I'm finally with my people. On one of the walls hung a picture of the temple of Seti when she had seen this, she began excitedly saying that’s my home. When she turned 27, she moved to Egypt and began studying everything she could about the country that she was certain was her true home, it was during the first year of this she began getting visions from Hor ra, a deity of the ancient Egyptians and from this she had proclaim that she was a priestess at the temple of Seti named Bentreysht. That she had become the lover of Seti and conceived his child however because she had broken her vows of chastity, she was interrogated by the other priestesses hoping to find the culprit and summarily took her own life to protect her love. At the age of 57 she finally got permission to go the Abydos to do research on the temple of Seti, upon setting foot in the temple she had stated its almost as if I had been here before during her 20 years working at the site, she had demonstrated impossible levels of knowledge regarding the ruins leading to many discoveries of hidden tunnels and the old garden that used to stand there. This in my opinion is the most realistic case of reincarnation we have seen to date. Once I had heard this story, I started doing my own research on the theories of reincarnation which stem from Indian religions where it is described as the rebirth or transmigration of the non-physical essence of a living being beginning a new life in a different physical form after death. This sound preposterous especially when you would need to accept that something like a soul exists and that is an impossibility to prove. Then I started looking into the mythology of our world and all the creatures that exist within our heads, there's no evidence any of them existed yet all myths and stories always stem from a single truth or event which over time gets misconstrued and twisted as it is passed down through generations. By this point 3 months had gone by and I was obsessed with trying to figure out the truth behind it all, until one day as I was watching tv I came across one of the anime’s that children love, it think it was called the wise man's grandson. Which is about a man who dies and reincarnates in a fantasy world and at that moment things started to connect in my head, what if none of the religions wrong or science for that fact. Then I started thinking and here was my thought process. For reincarnation to work then the metaphysical concept of a soul must be true, however that itself is a struggle as the soul itself must have memory, meaning that if you did indeed reincarnate all of your memories if not a few would remain from a past life. Therefore, a system would have to be in place to wipe those memories which would be triggered by external stimuli that you are/were familiar with, however if what I was researching is true then such a thing as a multiverse should be real, therefore if you were to reincarnate into one of those other universes then maybe a life there would overwrite the soul's memory and erase the past life. This explains how some can remember previous lives whilst most of us don’t, but it would also explain our mythology. Mythology could just be stories about creatures that existed in those other universes, a residual memory if you will from a past life. This would explain how there is no base for these creatures in our world, yet they have a deep and rich history here. What I got from this process was that reincarnation may be real, however we reincarnate between parallel universes and some of our experiences in those alternative realities have leaked over to this world creating our myths and legends. I know sounds crazy but it does explain religion and some of the thing's scientists have been stuck on since before my time. Now I've explained the story behind why I became the laughing stock of my fellow scientists, I will tell you how it came to pass. Once I had this theory, I decided I would document it and share it with a few of my colleagues, sufficed to say they laughed at it calling it ludicrous at best. No matter what I said to them they dismissed it and called me crazy, they mocked me for weeks calling me a crazy man or delusional. I decided to try one more thing I got some of the best theoretical scientists to agree to a meeting and presented them with my theory and all the evidence I had accumulated to back it, I was hopeful that they would see the potential in what I had put together. After they had gone over everything and discussed amongst themselves, they said it was a solid theory and told me to give them time to see if it stands against scrutiny so I agreed went home and waited to hear back from them. Unfortunately, no sooner than a week had passed and I got a phone call from an old friend asking if I had seen the story about me in the scientific journal, I pondered what the article could possibly be about, when I finally saw the article, my heart dropped the title read in bold letters “physicist Tyrel Smith officially declared crazy with his new theory”. It's not surprising to say every part of that article was a dig at my intelligence and my sanity, I lost my lab all of my research data and now anytime I see my old colleagues in the street or the store, I get barraged with insults and jabs concerning my intelligence and what I had discovered. This is where I will leave this story, I decided to type this up so there is a record of what transpired and so others may read my theory and draw their own conclusions. as we speak, I'm preparing to leave this world behind, maybe in my next life I will be respected.
