give reasons why you think humans have a soul?

Answer 1

Shalom,

Mankind is disenfranchised from his soul self. Buddhists claim there is no soul and Christians claim they are the soul and its their personality. That is just naming a few various religions, none the less all of them are incorrect and have no concept nor understanding what the soul is.

What is the soul? It's reasoning, a being of light that isn't present in the body. But rather its projecting you here. That is to say your personality is a expression of the soul into the material plane. Your a embryonic seed image projected by the soul with the potential to become alive. But like multitude of mankind they fail to become alive thus tasting death and becoming a failed image in the eyes of the soul, that is to say a aborted fetus.

The soul is like a castle with many rooms, meaning it has many failed images resting inside of it. This is why Yeshua gave in the Gospel of Thomas:

Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you are happy. But when you see your images that came into being before you and that neither die nor become visible, how much you will have to bear!"

Those personalities that came before you perpetually rest inside the soul, because they neither die(completely) nor become truly born into this world. Each image expressed strengthens or weakness the soul depending on the accomplishments and failures it gained during that life time. The soul is your true self and you have little to nothing in common with it. It is the image of the creator but people so confuse their own earthly personalities being the image of God. Sad to say, that a great portion if not all people will become failed images to the soul. Just like a bad dream.

Answer 2

Gaz, I believe Aza is referring to the fact that the soul self is not within the body and the past lives have no relation between them only that it has been expressed by the soul, although having different objectives. The different lives expressed by a single soul self in subsequent experiences are as different from on another as two people walking down the street. We are not our soul selves, we are expressions within its mind, and it can be said that we from one paradox have never lived before and are seeking to be born within the reality of the soul self, to be more than just an image. What we are is an image of the soul and it can basically be said that this is our only life. Although this divine soul self have all has the sum total of all that has been expressed, each person being a seed, a potentiality of the soul is expressed for certain given reasons, in keeping with the laws of correction/karma, and there is no memories to remember for this seed essence/potentiality because it has never lived before.

It is distinct and has an objective, by which the soul has expressed it, and in all things the laws are present. That being everything returns to its source, but the soul self utilizes what it deems worthy for the final objective. So there is no suppression of past lives, when you see different experiences from the reality of the soul, it can be said they have nothing to do with you and you don't reincarnate but the soul does.. Like a new seed being planted, your relation to the former is only the objective of growth, beyond that you are of your own element. And it’s not all the same, in Yeshua’s theWay the ebonite Nazirenes speak on the upper and the lower nature, and although we live in an illusion it is more so an allusion of mind, impressed upon reality, and it relates the different levels of consciousness. So while the body is temporal, it can be said that the body is eternal, since it is the consciousness associated with the body that also evolves over the course of life times. Hence why there is a difference.

Answer 3

Aza has explained the Buddhist expression quite well and has concluded albeit at the beginning that Buddhists don't believe in a soul.. As a Buddhist I'll complete her rather good hypothesis.

For Buddhists there is no soul in the traditional sense, that is a human Life is made up of 5 Skadhas or Parts which are impermanent and temporary, there is however 1 permanent Part which Buddhists refer to as the Buddha Nature. It is this essence if you will to which she refers to as having past selves forgive me as I quote her ..."it has many failed images resting inside of it"....Buddhists consider this essence as having all of our previous lives' experience and is therefore the Part of each of us that evolves....She is not correct in her assertion that everyone else is wrong....everyone else may be different but the explanations all lead to the same conclusion....she was harsh wasn't she..? Boy oh boy....

Her other assertion is also very much in the Buddhist tradition...let me quote her...she was very good indeed...."Jesus said....""....But when you see your images that came into being before you......"...these are to Buddhists our previous Lives of course...is Aza Buddhist in her thinking....I rather think that she may very well be....very impressive answer but rather self centred and exclusive....

It is a Buddhist notion that there is a Buddha Nature in all humans regardless of creed...but it is a common concept that there is an eternal 'soul' regardless of terminology.

Peace to you from a Buddhist...in the season of joy

...She was good...I liked her answer..wish she was a little less angry and open to comparison rather than blinkered....she has a Buddhist mind set....interesting..wonder to what creed she belongs...?

Answer 4

I can give you a reason Jan, but I can't prove it on here. As a Spiritualist Medium I have contact with the souls who have passed over into spirit world, or Heaven. And, yes, animals do have souls and they pass over just the same as a human soul. I have seen both human and animal spirits (souls). My friend actually saw her husband's soul leave his body at the precise moment his earthly body drew its last breath.

Answer 5

Not only humans have a soul but all living things have a soul as per the scriptures.The Universal soul i.e the Paramatma is reflected in all beings like the current in all bulbs or the sun's reflection in many pots of water.In death ' the soul '(the light or the life force) leaves the body but the body remains.Indian Vedanta or Upanishads talk about this. why don't you read them?

Answer 6

I don't believe or disbelieve. i am what i am and thats all that i am.... >:)
saying that, ever read about the experiment carried out by a physician called Duncan MacDougall in the early 20th/late 19th century? what he was trying to do was investigate whether or not a persons "soul" had a physical weight, and monitored and weighed people in the hours leading up to and during their death. what he found was that everyone monitored lost, on average, 21 grammes at the exact moment of their death (which is where the name for that sean penn movie comes from). this could not be attributed to evaporation of sweat or moisture as that is more gradual. and any bowel movements by the person would not affect this because the waste would still be on the table.
and he also did the same investigation with dogs, and none of the dogs had any kind of paralleled weight loss.
so some people have concluded from this that this sudden weight loss is the soul evacuating the body.

but you should check it out. my knowledge is limited, you'll be shocked to discover...

Answer 7

First, in my own experience, I have found that Carl Jung was correct in stating that; "we don't have soul, a soul have us". The reason, then, why I believe "a soul have us" is simply to tell us our purpose in life. And to show us our only path to happiness. That, btw., doesn't mean its easy to follow. But we better, if we want a life filled with meaning and happiness.

Answer 8

there have been comments of animal spirits. I undergo in ideas one case wherein a woman's puppy horse had died. Over the months that exceeded, she have been given a sparkling puppy, lower back a horse. even with the indisputable fact that sooner or later, while she went to pass feed her, she observed that the feed undesirable replaced into being wildly flung around for 5 mins, as though an animal replaced into ingesting from it. there replaced into no breeze that day. This next one is surely from own experience. as quickly as, I had a puppy canines. I enjoyed him with all of my heart. regrettably, he replaced into hit by a passing vehicle one night. Many months later, I heard barking from interior my abode. It replaced into unusual on account that i did not have a canines on the time. I appeared around, no person there. It occurred some extra situations earlier preventing altogether. It could not have been the friends or every person down my highway. they had English Bulldogs. I had a Chihuahua. Animal spirits exist. And every person who tells you in any different case is the two delusional, or a heartless bastard.

Answer 9

I once held a sick bird in my hands and at the very instant it died something had leaped out, or jumped out of it's body.
I felt it's soul leave its body. I don't know why I had the privilige of witnessing that moment but it was awesome to come to the realization that even the sparrow had a little soul. I was very young at the time and it was my first experience with death.

Answer 10

The Bible says, When Jesus breathed in man"s nostril, He became a living soul. Therefore, every human being has a soul.
