I don't know what soul travel is, but I'm sure there is no
afterlife, just as there was no forelife. There is no soul.
My existence is the result of an uninterrupted sequence of
incredibly improbable events, going back billions of years
into the past, and I will cease to exist, never to come back,
when some essential part of my body fails.

While I'm certainly not looking forward to dying, I'm not
afraid of being dead. The need to believe in an afterlife
is just another of those weird religious ideas.
