Our Quest To Practical Spirituality.

It seems to me that all people have a soul and share in the collective soul.

I think animals have a soul too, do they share in the collective soul?

I guess plants have a soul too, because they live and die just as humans and amimals do.

What does 'The Soul' mean?

 :)

The soul as i understand it, is God. Since you are a soul, you are a faction of God. An expression of God.

Yeah its very difficult because some people call spirit soul and because they are both not touchable there is no way to really know what people are talking about.

I expereinced something fantastic once and since then I use the word Soul or spirit loosely. To me now for practical purposes it does not matter what is what. Anything from "above" is cool.

Hello

From what I have come to accept and learn in the dealting in the realms of rhe Paranormal is that the Soul is separate from one's Spirit.   Its the Soul that essence part of what we be in this life that comes forth in conception or birth to bring us the part we will be in this life.  It holds in it the memories of past lives.  It bring with it too our Guide's.  We are many a layer of existance on the Soul level.  Too animal come forth again.  Anything that it too energy to be has a Soul so that to me be in all things has a Soul even a mere grain of sand on the beach.

To does it not come down to one's very religious beleif in what out understanding are to be.  For many sady we have not had the option of free exploration of what it mean's but have been told in what is means.  Good or bad that be is up to the individual I guess.

Too do we not in a way all share too a collective soul?  Do we not all live on the Earth and the Earth be a part of the Universe we live in do both not have a Soul.  Does the Earth no breath ?  Does the Earth not have a heart beat?  I feel it does as we exist.  In that very existance are we not a collective tied to eachother on some level ?

interesting question..

for me the soul is that part of us that is not physical. I think i wrote somewhere else, it travels with us through the eons of time. Its our essence.. its our us.. its us as part of the divine..( however we express that).

as for spirit is that hte same i think so just another word that others might use.. i prefer soul.  smitten smitten smitten

For me the soul is the point where one's spirit is a refection.

It is there and I am there.

I might call it 'it' or I might call it 'I'.

I would call God the creator of souls, but I haven't been into pure light.

I had this vision:

I was light and there was darkness below me, like the air (light) and the surface of the ocean (dark), and I became a smaller piece of light and started sinking.

First I thought there was a bottom and I'd fall fast and die, so I felt frightened, but then the 'bottom' opened up and I felt I would not fall to my death, then.... after a while..... I realised there was a bottom, but I was glad.

The light is where I came from and I sank below the surface and found it's depth. Now I can only go back up and I'll return to the light air someday.

That was my dream.

nicely put.. nice vision.. i esp. liked "I came from the light .. "  smitten

In my own experience, I have a soul of my own which is like a point of reference from where I see things, but it stretches out and becomes a part of everybody, so I easily see their point of view.

It just keeps expanding too as the personality becomes devoid then all people are one and not seperate entities.

On and on it goes through all time and infinite alternative dimensions - dreams and imagination and all forms of thought.

In the end the soul becomes the essential energy of all creation, and my soul is also a connection to everything.

Beautiful poem, Medusa, thank you for sharing. I particularly liked the part about being "spirit to spirit" and travelling across the universe on a journey :)

As to what the soul is, I believe it is our spirit, or essence, the one that is always a constant, and reincarnates. The one that remembers past lives, and moves to  future ones.

Great stuff Queen Medusa.

Seems to me there's always more and more.

This is my soul.

This is soul's me.

I am central to the soul and I am all of the soul.

I am what the soul is.

Soul is me.

For me the soul is like a large soap bubble when I see it in my mind. Huge and it includes and overlaps other bubbles. Down at the bottom where the heavy part is? That 1% of the bubble. That is the physical me that represents my soul saying. Hi guys!!!! Life is an interesting adventure!! Having fin yet? a1m.
