Are we a soul?

[Govind]

Yes, basically we are a soul which lives in a physical body.
Our body is constantly changing from infancy to childhood, youth, adult and finally death. But we, the unchangeable soul, witness this “virtual reality” from within. That’s why, even though our body changes throughout life, we always keep our sense of identity.
Therefore we eternal souls are more important than our bodies.

Hello' Ryanwind:












Allow me to offer you insight from what I have been taught by Divine Awareness / Creator Itself.

Now, firstly, this is not something that can be measured or defined by the common human measuring stick.

As, a soul is basically a spinning vortex of divine energies which involves a permanent magnetic center, which absorbs and collects its identity from experiences as it moves through reality.

Creating and developing its own sense of self or identity. And this soul essence may choose to move down into lower levels of reality by fragmenting itself, so that it may experience the lower, more dense levels of physicality.

And when it returns or moves back into the higher levels of consciousness and its greater multidimensional nature, that of the soul level, it will bring back those learning lessons and value fulfillments that it chose to experience and reunite with the greater or whole soul, the essence of the Divine.

Now, many individuals think or believe that there is a type of separation of spirit, where the soul and the higher self are somehow....separate or detached from one another. This is erroneous.

They are a part of each other, as the soul belongs to the spirit. The soul being a part of one's spirit or higher self. Now, Spirit involves all aspects of consciousness, but, the soul can be considered more singular in nature, or more accurately, more of a collective soul matrix.

And in this, the soul will send out portions or aspects of itself into all levels of reality, so that it may experience and learn from this for the main purpose of 'knowing self'. Therefore, a soul will be composed of infinite aspects or fragments of itself.

Now, some will ask:” How did all this come to be or how did these souls come into being”?

And this, can be easily understood if one can simply perceive a vast, infinite, Universal Divine Force or Gestalt suddenly awakening from its own dream, and in that initial awakening, Creator's inner creations became 'self-aware', or rather, the Divine Essence of all that is....became self aware.

This being the first phase where Divine Consciousness became self aware and began to project its consciousness into other levels of consciousness where It began the initial creation of what has been called....”The Big Bang”!

This is what could be called the first splitting of consciousness where Creator began reflecting upon Itself, examining...what It was. This was the first level of its expansion of consciousness. This also being the beginning of the soul consciousness development.

Where Creator began Its movement into lower levels of density or consciousness and the soul was created, as a way for the aspects or fragments of the soul to be experienced in these lower levels of density or physicality.

And in this, a universe was created where the nature of polarity or dualism could be experienced and it is at this level that the soul could send portions of itself to experience physicality and dualism and engage in the collective illusion of separatism.

Now, the purpose of the soul being fragmented into lower physicality is to rediscover itself and to remember itself not as an individual or separate being but instead, that of a divine consciousness that comes from higher realms of collective consciousness.

And, while this is the ultimate mission that souls move in the direction of....there is also much value in having the individual experience, for all avenues of experience, at some point, return back to the Source, the Divine Source, which expands the consciousness of the soul and Divine Creator Itself.

I hope this has helped a little in answering your query.

The soul can't be something you have. It has to be what you are. Otherwise, what are you?

Just curious if anybody else believes that they are a soul.

I believe that the soul is who we are, underneath everything we pretend to be and all the personas we wear. The soul is the 'real us' which exists without relation to anything else. There is a Divine connection to the soul, in that a human soul is no different to the Soul of the Universe.
