The "soul" is immortal and experiences multiple lifetimes as a learning experience to evolve toward perfection. It does not have a name as far as I know and is not an organized religion.

It's just unreal. All those people without a single shot being fired. Simply because governments weren't ready and 1 government in particular doesnt do anything for it's people (China) and let this thing loose. Honestly I think China needs to pay reparations for this through the U.N.
