There was this group of scientists that discovered a substance produced from certain minerals like Gold and stuff, mixed, and tested in a certain way... yeah, I would have to find the site for more info... but anyways, after certain tests and shit, the substance would actually evaporate into nothingness... but they discovered it actually goes into a higher dimension. It's some pretty crazy shit... appearently it will open your third eye permanently, if you use it once and keep a healthy lifestyle.

But yeah, to answer your question... I do believe there is something beyond the physical that exists in this dimension (Or between, maybe after death... or maybe it moves on after death... I don't know.) I believe every living thing has a soul, but it's not for one individually but for everyone to be connected to, perhaps in another plane of existence.
