You have some link info or something i could view? Everything you can sense has a soul. If you are looking for some sort of proof you are out of luck. Anything of true value cannot be proven, it is just known. It is referred to as gnosis. |

Quoting: ANHEDONIC hmm I never thought of it like that. thanks for your reply. No problem. Matter cannot create energy. The physical conception of an embryo does not create energy (spirit), it only creates the physical, biological vessel that the energy (spirit) comes to inhabit. When the physical vessel 'dies' and can no longer sustain its life force, the energy (spirit) returns to where it originated from. |

As far as I have surmised this plane we are experiencing is the equivalent of a 'sub-reality' - it is part of an infinitely larger 'higher reality' of existence. What we are currently observing and experiencing is a very small part of the entire spectrum & totality of existence. Just my perspective/findings anyway. |

Quoting: Kamindaki You know when you wake up from a strange dream and you may experience that reassuring feeling that you are 'back to (or in) reality'? Well I imagine the effect may be somewhat similar when you 'die'. I believe there is an initial readjustment period but that eventually you will come to recognize the non-physical state as your base 'reality', one that you have already experienced before, and this current physical lifetime will be looked upon in a context similar to that of the 'dream' state (not that it will be dismissed or written off as unimportant though). You had these temporary experiences and now you are back to your base state of existence. |
Stefan Parlow User ID: 48006172 Austria 11/22/2013 06:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “The term monad means that simple, indivisible unit which owns sense for itself and unfolds from it forces which work outward. Whereby there are tunings here, of unconscious monad to conscious ones. Thus, the soul is a conscious monad, a stone of the whole world. The uppermost monad is, so to speak, God, whereby each monad has to go through all hierarchies. She has to pass through every area of life, namely by the mineral empire as a germ, then by the plant kingdom, the animal kingdom and by the development of the child into the human realm. The monad stands behind the growing up embryo and develops its body, so that he becomes human, until you return, in the end; again back into the source, back in God's monad. The monads form the realms or classes of the monads, which emerge. The single element begins its long developing way, while it from the lap of the divine develops its own divinity. In other words, it has its own monad being already in itself; however, it must attain the I-conscious realization of this divine monad being. Then the monad moves slowly by each realm: The stone, i.e. the monad in the stone becomes a plant; the plant an animal; the animal a person; the person a God. The soul is the connecting instance between the super temporal, not material, perfect self and the temporal, subject-afflicted mostly imperfect personality. The soul reveals itself as individual information for the person, as his completely personal consciousness. The light, which all souls radiate, causes the progress of the world and the ascent of its peoples. All things have inevitably a cause, a driving strength, an animating reason. These souls, symbols of the detachment, have given the highest stimulating impulse to the world of the existence and will give her furthermore. The soul is an incomplete product. It is a development. Unique, but not individually - it is a part of a group expression. Spirit in this respect is a difficult term because it goes into the transcendental. I try to define spirit, however, for the purposes of the connection with the soul: It is the transcendent component in the person, thus the monad or the self. The life, „the spirit“, is impersonally, anonymous. The connection of the classical trichotomy „body, soul and spirit“ends, when humans finish the “earthly life”. Under no circumstances, the death of a human destroys something of the life itself. Spirit shows up as a totality of the physical laws and orders, which hide behind the expiries of the inanimate nature. “ I am a mystic.

Same goes for animals. These bodies are simply a physical interface so that the soul can experience this physical realm. The soul, or spirit that animates the numerous lifeforms is eternally the same, it just aquires different bodies to operate through according to it's karma and the will of the almighty.

Dirtyboy User ID: 50396986 United States 11/22/2013 08:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If it lives it has a soul. There are many levels of consciousness. How anything plays out is a mystery to all of us. If you abuse an animal then you are interfere with their development which is bad for your soul. If you look at some really bad people you might wonder if they have a soul. They do. May not be a strong one but it is there. Some people don't seem to act as human and seem more like animals. If you have animals in your life you see each has their own unique personality. They may not be capable of complex thought and are limited in communications. Look at your life. Do you feel your soul or feed the animal? Do you try to help others in their journey or are you selfish and only feed your journey? Dirtyboy Think beyond impossible. |

At the Resurrection those spirits in Heaven will be joined to their resurrection bodies, which will be just like the body Jesus has now. They will rise out of the graves and ascend to meet Jesus in the air. Those who are saved and alive at that time will be instantly changed and given immortal resurrection bodies and will also rise to meet Jesus in the air. The spirits in hell will remain there for Christ's millennial reign on Earth, and will be resurrected at the Great White Throne Judgment, when they will finally be sentenced to join the beast and the false prophet, and Lucifer and the fallen angels in the Lake of Fire. |

I understand The Christian Faith, Muslums, Hindus and most other faiths believe we do, but is there any actual evidence through science or other outlets besides religion that people or animals have souls or something close to that. Not spirits but souls. I was perplexed today thinking about that. I think about random things such as that a lot, because I guess you could call me a "Dreamer" or "Thinker". It does not matter what one believes "Where the soul goes", I am just trying to figure out if there is any evidence that a soul exists, I am not talking about a spirit, but a soul. I under stand "holy books" explain that we do, but is there any evidence outside of "holy books" that point to people or Animals have a soul. The question is not "If we have a soul where does it go" but rather does a soul exist in the human body? Thanks for your imput, I have been pondering on this all day.
