You are the soul.
The soul is the experiencer.
The soul is what makes you alive.
As Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
While we are having a human experience, the experience itself is spiritual.
Although the soul dwells in your body, you are not the body. It is just the vehicle of where it allows the soul to be alive, to be life. Your body has been suited to keep you alive, & so far, nowhere else can you be kept alive. Without the essential organic material the soul cannot exist (insofar as we scientifically know).
Without the soul there is no experiencer.
It is like a movie. The movie needs a TV to play the movie, but the movie is not the TV. Your soul needs the organic material, but it is not the organic material.
You are one with your body, but the soul is not your body. However, I must not leave out that which you already know, that the way you treat your body directly affects the conditions of your soul.
One may say, well how about after the body dies, for where does the soul go? Let me answer that question with a question. When your TV gets unplugged, where does the energy go? Nowhere, it just dissipates.
The soul in essence is just energy. That’s it! We can say it’s more, but in essence the soul & everything else is just energy.
It is like the projection of a movie being played on a screen. The projection is just energy, but it is being directed by the formulation put on by the administration in order to produce & project a performance; and it is that performance that gives us an experience.
Thoughts themselves are not just nothing. They form with energy produced in the brain. Much like that of a tv screen. It may be projecting a car, but it’s just energy. This is why thinking too much can cause stress or fatigue, because it is not just nothing, it is definitely something, energy.
What about the functions of our body that we do not control? What about those thoughts that we sometimes can’t control? What about the sub-conscious, unconscious; Ego, Id, Super Ego? Yea, that’s all you.
You are all the spiritual energy you sense. All the emotion and conscience; everything you experience. All that you do, the soul is you.
But that doesn’t mean you have full control of it all. However, with right practice, you may gain more control than you think.
You are the soul. If your body is unable to support you/soul, you/soul will dissipate into thin air, never again in Life’s care.
You, the soul, are a mortal flash of light in immortal Life.
