Soul

1. the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
2. the essence or embodiment of a specified quality.

So the soul can be the essence or embodiment of the specified quality of a man.

In the Bible we see the word soul translated from the word nephesh[1] which is from the same Hebrew letters NunPeiShin meaning to "take a breath". The Nun has to do with the "Heir to the Throne" while the Pei is about "Communication" through the breath ending with the Shin or "Eternal Flame of Revelation bound to the Divine Essence".

To the Greeks the soul was the psyche or "psyühē", of "psychein" meaning "to breathe" which included mental abilities of a living being such as reason, character, feeling, consciousness, memory, perception, thinking, etc.

Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, saw the soul (ψυχή psūchê)[2] as have a logical and divine faculty effecting human actions. Some considered this soulful essence to be an incorporeal and eternal occupant of our corporeal being and even live on beyond the death of the body.

Both words for Soul are also translated life.

But there is another word for life which we see in the phrase "the tree of life" [3] That word is from completely different Hebrew letters ChetYodHey meaning something different than the word for soul NunPeiShin.

  • "But flesh with the life (soul) thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives(soul) will I require; at the hand of every beast (life) will I require it, and at the hand of man(adam); at the hand of every man’sman brother will I require the life <05315> of man(adam)." Genesis 9:4-5

Almost every culture believes in a soul that connects us with if not determines our fate in this life and even in an after life.

  • "And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank." Genesis 27:25

What you do may bless your soul in this world and in the next and even bless others.

  • "The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked." Proverbs 10:3

The same word for bless is also translated curse because what is a blessing and curse is often relative. But what you think will bless you may curse you becaue of the realm from which your soul draws its pattern.

  • "The enemy (Pharaoh) said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust (soul) shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them." Exodus 15:9

While The soul (psyche) is often considered distinct from the body (soma) that distinction is less when it comes to the idea of a spirit (pneuma) which is often used interchangeably.

Augustine described the soul as "a special substance, endowed with reason, adapted to rule the body". in Matthew 10:28 we see the words of Jesus saying "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." The word destroy can simply mean "to devote or give over" and hell or geenna[4] being an undesirable juridical place of decay and filth, the opposite of heaven where life comes from.

Physicist like Sean M. Carroll thinking that the idea of a soul is in opposition to quantum field theory (QFT) so that for a soul to exist "Not only is new physics required, but dramatically new physics. But if the soul is extra dimensional there is no need for a collection of 'spirit particles' nor physical 'spirit forces'.

The answer to Quantum indeterminacy may be outside the reach of our scientific dipstick. Scientists know, or imagine they know, that there are other dimensions parallel to our own because they see evidence of energy coming and going into our own dimension but only theorize or imagine there must be another place it is coming from.

  • In quantum mechanics there may be multiple parallel dimensions. There may be an ability to tap into those dimensions or realms through the divine spark of the soul. If the soul's choice denies the light of one realm it may be drawn to the darkness of another realm dragging with it the spirit and body which is one of the Mysteries of the Universe.

More and more scientific observation of the complexity of the universe and life itself are statistically proving that random design is less likely than intelligent design. If there is intelligent design then we must ask how is that design projected into this dimension where in our corporeal reality resides and observes its existence?

Ray Charles who looked at the world with a blind man's eyes asked and answered, "What is a soul? It's like electricity - we don't really know what it is, but it's a force that can light a room." Electricity is not so much a particle but an energy resulting from the existence of charged particles. Are those parallel dimensions charged with an identity of their own?

Is their incorporeal pattern of existence charging the veil of these walled in realm? As our corporeal being presses against or merely approaches the veil of one realm or another we absorb the character of the realm our soul chooses or are tempted to be drawn toward.

Marcus Aurelius who persecuted early Christians believed that "The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." But it is more likely the choices of the soul actually color our thoughts and therefore or corporeal reality. That evidently seemed reasonable to Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein who said "After all as The human body is the best picture of the human soul." The same could be said of the collective soul of society.

  • Individuation is a process of transformation whereby the personal and collective unconscious are brought into consciousness (e.g., by means of dreams, active imagination, or free association) to be assimilated into the whole personality.

Individuation is a completely natural process necessary for the integration of the whole psyche.

  • Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience which may interrupt the natural physical or mental processes of an individual or group of individuals.

Sloth is a waste of the time that God has loaned to you. Greed, wantonness, lasciviousness are trauma to the mind of God and distorts the original image of man to a less than desirable nature than he was meant to have.

  • "And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?" Luke 12:19-20

God hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans and the error of Balaam. Those covetous practice lead men away from God and disconnect their very soul from the realm of God. It makes fairly good men workers of iniquity through covetous practices which repels them from the presence of God.

The Individuation of the mind of man with the mind of God is found in the process of repentance which will include active giving and forgiving.
