Your Soul is Not Physical

Your soul is the collection of all of the things that make you, you. They are collected together to make you from the life force of DNA and all of your ancestors who walked before you. This collection is no accident and no mistake. The collective unconscious brings everything to life in this place called Earth.

To make you, you, a collection of characteristics describes and define you. All characteristics occur on a scale. You have all, we all have all: love, hate, generosity, greed, good and evil. You may be like Mother Teresa, one who has 95% love and only 0.1% of hate. You may be like Jeffrey Dahmer, 95% hate and 0.1% love. All other characteristics squeezed into the middle.

Your characteristics are a unique combination that is you. Your DNA helped to bring your combination to you. Our DNA is the way that our ancestors bring the characteristics to us. Even our intelligence and critical thinking skills come to us in this way.

These characteristics can shrink, or increase based on our nurturing and yet these characteristics do not go away. Who can say why the child grows into a drug addict, a doctor, a cheater, or a lover? The DNA can bring the very strongest selfishness into being and the child, while capable of love, will always default to this selfishness. The parent will have difficulty with this child and even the most loving parent can falter in the face of such selfishness. The most loving of children can be brutalized and beaten beyond recognition and then become brutes themselves. Their loving nature can be buried under the pain and anguish that is their life.

Those who are self-aware can use the knowledge to see through the perfect veil of people who live in society.

There is every possibility of characteristic combination alive today. There is a schizophrenic man who is also hateful and mean. There is a Down’s syndrome woman who is loving and kind and yet also greedy and obese. Every combination of characteristics can exist and each characteristic lives on a scale. The scale can be overwhelming as in the case of a serial killer or negligible as in the case of selfishness that is negligible to nonexistent.

So, how does this relate to our spiritual selves? This collection of energies that you are, this life force that defines you in your physical self, can dissipate once you pass away. Your energies do not keep the form that you had as a physical body. Your energies are free to form again, perhaps into something else, perhaps into another human with a different set of characteristics. Your physical self never exists again.

Your soul is the combined life energies of your characteristics and your life experiences as a human. Your soul is an energy life force that is housed in your physical body. When your physical body leaves your soul life force, your life force can dissipate and become many energies. Your love does not die, the energy of your lovingness moves on.
