| The topic about the soul is more of a philosophy then anything else. Some believe there is an "Oversoul" from which each soul comes from and returns too, and maintains in communication with. Others who are into nature religions view the soul as the wind, and the wind often discribes the soul because you cannot see where the wind comes from, but the intake of that wind (air) generates the spark of life and that "life" is the soul. One early Christian tribe believed that the soul was robbed from heaven due to sex and was caused to fall into this world which they thought is being ruled by evil forces, so they preached that people should not have reproductive sex in order to save other innocent souls from coming here, where they would become sinful. That idea did not last for many generations because they had no children to carry on the tradition or teachings.
Many Eastern religions believe in reincarnation of the soul and so we basically inter a new body when a new baby is produces, working off Karmas and preparing for the next life. Sometimes the soul can also return as an animal and so we cannot know how many numbers of souls are circulating because of the vast number of life forms, and if they invent computers with throught streams of intelligent thinking you might even reincarnate is one of those computers.
So basically the soul is that invisible inner self which cannot not be totally comprehend (the eye cannot see the eye) and cannot honestly discribed. Or it is a place within ourself (sometimes called heaven) where we can find spiritual independance from the physical reality. Or the soul is......? A catch-all term for some some sort of spiritual factor.
Carl Jung philosophy stated that the soul can be projected as a light from the mind into the future and then we can vision it projected on the sky as a UFO (unexplaned flying object that departs from our own body's mind). The "winged soul" was often painted about in anient times.
But give me a couple of beers and I will go for soul food and soul music. Become one with the music and the music will set you free - let it Rock.
In the beginning the word was, and the soul was what was the Watcher of the Word. amen.
Then there is me, Technosoul. The merging of technology and soul and our evolution into the thinking robots of our future becoming. |
