What is Soul ?

The Religious View Point

The soul is a spirit of the divine.

It exists before birth and will survive after death.

It lives with god.

God has placed a soul inside each person.

Souls are pure and untouched by earthy affairs.

We feel our   souls as a source of higher emotions and uplift.

The soul is holy in a way that the flesh can never be.

The Scientific Reflection of  Higher Consciousness

The mind can be explained without dragging in references to god.

Nobody knows what precedes birth or follow after death.  All we can study is the mind here and now.

The mind is located in the brain, not with God.

There is no evidence of anything inside the brain except a complex of chemical and electrical activity.

If you change the brain, the mind changes at the same time.

There is no part of us that is untouchable and unworthy.

Higher emotions are nothing but the predominance of certain neurons transmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

The body being the center of all chemical activity creates the mind.   There is nothing else the soul could be except a physical phenomenon.

Fundamentals of Consciousness

Awareness has depth

The deeper you go the more reality will change. 

Reality is dependent upon your state of consciousness.  As your awareness goes deeper it acquires more power.

This power can change the world both inside & out.

There are no facts that cannot be influenced by awareness.

Ultimately your awareness creates everything  you experience.
