The animal realm is the one below the human realm, there being six in total. So in answer to your question DumCow, is this: If you do not gain enough merit in this life, then you will be reborn in one of the lower realms, So yes you could come back as a cow. It is said the chances of regaining a human life is likend to a blind turtle sitting on the bottom of the ocean with a golden yoke (ring) floating on the surface. The chances of the turtle swiming to the surface with it's head through the centre of the yoke is infinitely small.
(@dumbcow: I figure you'll come back as a zebu, dumbcow. You've been pretty good.)
Without going into all the make-believe bull poop, scientifically it would seem that the "soul" of a 70 kilo animal (human or not) is about 21 grams. That's the average difference in weight in from the living to the non-living state of the same body.
wow thats very interesting. never heard that before
Well, I have: it's the sound of someone pulling a factual-sounding claim out of his arse.
And yet I too have read something about a slight reduction in weight, post-mortem.
Don't know what it would mean, though.
For me, a soul is every living thing's essential being. It is who you are. Everything else that you might be is based around it. It also is our connection to the rest of the organic world, I feel. I can't help but believing every animal-- even plants-- have their own, unique souls. Maybe I'm on crack, but whenever I look into an animal's eyes, I can sort of see that soul, in a sense; I can feel our bond as living things....hopes, fears, desires, pleasures, personalities, etc. Same goes for plants, save for they've a more muted existence...but I can still feel their being.
No longer functioning glands, hence no secretions?
What I have read about is a weight loss that is registrable right at the moment of death.
Who dies on the scales? :tongue:
But that has surely nothing intrinsic to do with the person who died.To me it's the things people remember about you that they continue to do or say or think about after you are gone!
It has everything to do with the person who died it was their traits, habits, thoughts and actions.But that has surely nothing intrinsic to do with the person who died.

Then we have to agree to disagreeAs perceived by others.
Nothing intrinsic.
MooOOoOoOh! I just got that (a bit slow today)... :biggrin1:
