I answered both questions with yes, even if I am sure my answers could also be counted as a no. I believe in no consciousness before or after "life", but I do believe that everything living, be it human, animal or plant or else, has some kind of "energy", similar to a soul but more basic, which comes from a sort of universal "life-pool" and accompanies us throughout life, just to "go back" when we die. can't describe it any better since it has this esoteric touch (I don't very much like...). No soul, no consciousness, no memory or recollection of the past, no karma, no reincarnation of a "self", just life being a whole and even when separate belonging together and becoming a whole in the end again.
