Wouldn't it be great if every living thing you come into contact with is actually you living another life...
That'd be pretty much getting what you give, wouldn't it?
Especially if there was some sort of celestial staging area where you go and see all of the different lives being lived simultaneously, feel your actions and the consequences... Every kindness, every cruelty... I cant imagine a nicer and fairer way for it all to pan out (well apart from the ashes to ashes, dust to dust and nothing more thing...).
I just think that all of those violent, cruel people, from the cat-kickers and bitches to the bullies, murderers and people who abuse and neglect children, animals and each other would be exquisitely repaid if they were, actually, only hurting themselves  .
And every kind word, touch, act and thought would be an act of kindness and respite to oneself, too...
there's a sort of balance to it that I like, is all.
Of course it means that there's only about two people in the world, ever 
what? there's more than one?
Interesting idea.

Well, we wouldn't know, we're all the same person...
Explains my family's Family Brain....
See?
I need a name for my cult!
let's call it arthur 
I imagine if someone believed this they may well take to "personal exploration", it would provide an excuse for taking ones frustration out on that cat and "celestial onanism" with that prepubescent child...
You are all me, I am all you, as you is me as we are you and we are all together, I am the egg man you are the milk maid, we are the walress n i g h t h o o v e r All dust is no dust is all dust is no dust
Hm, I see what you mean Azathoth... However if taught properly it should be more like buddhism, where one is taught to respect and appreciate every other life and the particular stages and lessons being learned by that particular stream of existence. And also to attempt to contemplate and understand the meaning of every existence, it's relevance to you and how your interaction (from both sides) will affect the overall development of the psyche/soul that is all of you at the same time.
Remember, if you molest a child you will have harmed yourself. You will have caused that trauma on your other self and will have to deal with the fallout of that. Including re-living it when you watch/feel it all back on the great big VR monitor in the sky. That's sort of the idea.
i heard a wise person say yesterday that "if we all loved each other just like parents love their children we would be freed of lots of problems"
you may never guess who said that!
