Do all creatures have souls

A question regarding the soul concept.
Do all creatures have souls?
I've heard of tree and animal spirits, but here I meant 'all' creatures. Blades of grass, bacterium and even viruses are technically living creatures too, yet I never heard of their spirits... Are they considered to have have souls too?

[Ascension]

Life is the spirit of god .

Souls with or without would they or it be less than? Ancient beliefs suggest that there are all kinds of spirits, ask the Indians. Only as we know it do we then bless it with or without a soul. Even Gaia (mother earth) some say has a soul. So, solely up to you.

I don't know, but I know all things are of creation,Source ,God (choose your own name for it) which means me, you, that flower, the foodmixer in the kitchen..are all made of molecules.

If we are all , along with everything else , molecular...well we can't really get much more interconnected than that.

Don't we go further back then molecules? Where did the idea of molecules come from?

And if you can't tell, I'm actually agreeing with you!

I'm going to be reincarnated as a foodmixer.

Yes it is my belief that all creatures have souls.as do the trees the grass etc.

Two schools of thought here, one says that every living thing ,from a blade of grass, to a human has a soul, this soul becomes more individualised and sophisticated as it is recycled into higher forms, ie. the blade of grass will eventually reach the dizzy heights of being a human. The other belief is that humans are in some way unique, they are set apart, they alone have the creators spark within, this is to say that animals and plants though they may be "alive"will never reach a human level, Im not sure which I believe, but I,d like to think it,s the former.

All things are 'alive' as facets of the Earth Soul, but not everything has 'individualisation'.

Silver Birch said (re domesticated animals) "They are ready for your love and affection because they are awaiting the next stage of their evolution, which is incarnation as humans"

He also explained re- a 'new soul' (or 'young soul' as opposed to an 'old soul' i.e. someone who has incarnated in many human earthly experiences)
"The new one comes from the group, the group that was once animal, the pool of spirit which has been through all the evolutionary stages."

In my theories, a soul can also be called a consciousness. I personally believe all living things have some bits of this consciousness, just maybe not on this level of vibration.
