How can we tell we have a spirit?

How can we tell if we have a spirit or soul? And what is the difference between soul and spirit or are they both kinda the same thing?

I was just thinking about the same thing myself and came across this article http://montalk.net/matrix/157/spiritless-humans

That website brought an image to my mind of a shady drug deal going down in a slimey and dark back alley.

"hey, I got some knowledge. want some?"
"this feels suspicious..."
"UNWORTHY, UNWORTHY, no knows for you"
lol


Some red flags I got while reading the first few paragraphs were this person (author of the blog) is quick to dismiss the experience of others, and quick to boast about how logical and accurate his own observations are.

I could point out problems with the author in pretty much every paragraph they write... this person is... troubled. In my opinion they are troubled. I may read a little more to be sure that I'm not being quick to dismiss this person but I've been around the block enough to see when a student full of zeal tries to begin teaching without having experienced enough before. The ego of a person who tries to teach without practicing first.... eugh. just puts a bad taste in my mouth. Why would I listen to someone like that?



This post you linked is bascially a condemnation of everyone who doesn't choose the spiritual path that the author has chosen. The author uses his own experience as the standard which is a mistake in itself. They don't use enough contrasting and comparing to see if what they experience is normal. They bascially had a thought, wrote it down in a manic flurry, then rushed to post it to the first 100 people who would read it. eugh, red flag! its red flag after red flag on this blog lol. HOWEVER, i might read some more anyways. I'm unphased by his negative influence and I may learn a thing or two.

Try answering the question "Who am I?" and you'll experience the phenomenon firsthand.

If you say so

I wish you could see all the flaws I see in myself. Then you'd know how similar we are.

Many ways.

Astrology, tarot, dream interpretation, yoga,
meditation, paranormal activity, metaphysical
phenomenon & principles, psychoactive drugs that
induce alternate states of consciousness,
personal experiences etc.

For example, there's been many times where
I've followed souls through visions & dreams.
Lights / auras followed me when involved with
certain people. - Ability to see beyond 3D. Beyond
the 5 senses. Track & follow thoughts, feelings,
and actions.

There is much to the Universe that is beyond
our perceptions. We are but a fragment of Universal
Wisdom.
