I don't have any misguided optimism that I will ever understand it. But reincarnation has came up in conversations for me like 5 times in as many weeks. It has sparked my interests. And I had a weird experience with my nephew when he was a toddler. I guess it could have been some inherent instinct but reincarnation immediately came to mind at the time, and I had no real knowledge of it except the basics.
I want to explore, what is the soul made up of? Is it a ball of energy? How does it leave/travel? I wonder if anyone has ever did a study....like watch with a thermal lens or something to see if something leaves the body when you die. What are the theories. Apparently some reincarnate, some don't. Who does? Who don't? Where does your soul supposedly go if you don't?
I also believe that I had an out of body experience when I was 7. I never told anyone until about 2 months ago. Right about the time that reincarnation started popping up in conversations. AND, I found a charm with a Buddha head on it in my shopping bag a couple of weeks ago. I didn't buy it and it had no store tag attached.
How about that for strange?
Well to answer your question about what the soul is made of and whether say in your example anyone has studied it through a thermal lens my personal answer is that its made of no matter which exists in the universe we know IE does not contain carbon nor any of the base elements that were created by the explosion of the stars via the process of nucleosynthesis.
I guess my answer is Im not sure but if the soul is made of anything that can be known to us it would be identifiable and measurable but I dont think it is nor does it matter.
As for some reincarnating and others not I dont agree with whoever came up with that, I think all living things from microorganisms through to human beings and everything in between die and are reborn at some stage.
I cant comment on out of body experiences, I dont know anything about that bit have no reason to doubt you experienced it.
The Buddha head probably means nothing and sure as fuck has nothing to do with the soul. Buddhism is about the realization of non self, the antidote to hinduisms Atman or self/soul whatever but hey if you think it was a stroke of luck hold onto it as it will probably subconsciously have positive effects on you at a cognitive, just like prayer does in the Indian faiths but deep down they know god doesnt give a fuck about their bullshit ramblings and incense burning..
Anyway in Hinduism the soul is everlasting transcends earthly states IE we carry our soul forward through infinite lifetimes but in Buddhism the soul is ever changing just like everything that exists.
You strike me as someone who should read up on the ultimate complexity. Have you read Shantaram? if not youve probably not heard of it so here it is in my next post.
Hopefully my answer has confused you further, none of this is meant to make sense IMHO
