Ideas on our life force, aka soul. Included readings.

"Plato argued that, as the body is from the material world, the soul is from the world of ideas and thus immortal. He believed the soul was temporarily united with the body and would only be separated at death where it would then go back to the world of forms. As the soul does not exist in time and space like the body, it can access universal truths from the world of ideas."

In theology, when referring to the soul, the terms "life" and "death" are different and thus distinguished from the common concepts of "biological life" and "biological death." Because the soul is said to be transcendent of the material existence, and is said to have (potentially) eternal life, the death of the soul is likewise said to be an eternal death. Thus, in the concept of divine judgment, God is commonly said to have options with regard to the dispensation of souls, ranging from Heaven (i.e. angels) to hell (i.e. demons), with various concepts in between. Typically both Heaven and hell are said to be eternal, or at least far beyond a typical human concept of lifespan and time.

Following Aristotle, the Persian Muslim philosopher-physicians, Avicenna and Ibn al-Nafis, further elaborated on the Aristotelian understanding of the soul and developed their own theories on the soul. They both made a distinction between the soul and the spirit, and in particular, Some of Avicenna's views on the soul included the idea that the immortality of the soul is a consequence of its nature, and not a purpose for it to fulfill.

While he was imprisoned, Avicenna wrote his famous "Floating Man" thought experiment to demonstrate human self-awareness and the substantially of the soul. He told his readers to imagine themselves suspended in the air, isolated from all sensations, which includes no sensory contact with even their own bodies. He argues that, in this scenario, one would still have self-consciousness. He thus concludes that the idea of the self is not logically dependent on any physical thing, and that the soul should not be seen in relative terms, but as a primary given, a substance. This argument was later refined and simplified by René Descartes in epistemic terms when he stated: "I can abstract from the supposition of all external things, but not from the supposition of my own consciousness."

(To note, consciousness is very important in our existence, and it's importance is seen in the foundation of many of my theories on life/existence/and mortality/immortality/origin of everything/etc...)

St. Thomas Aquinas understood the soul to be the first principle, or act, of the body. However, his epistemological theory required that, since the intellectual soul is capable of knowing all material things, and since in order to know a material thing there must be no material thing within it, the soul was definitely not corporeal. Therefore, the soul had an operation separate from the body and therefore could subsist without the body. Furthermore, since the rational soul of human beings was subsistence and was not made up of matter and form, it could not be destroyed in any natural process. The full argument for the immortality of the soul and Thomas elaboration of Aristotelian theory is found in Question 75 of the Summa Theologica.

(Yes, the question to ask him, is the soul part of a duality with the conscious mind? Do we feel an affect by our individual consciousness on the soul? Does a soul in the next life--place---have consciousness, even without a physical body? Let's suppose the answer is yes to all three questions, then by equations, and greater understanding, the soul is conscious, and has memories and thoughts at the very least.... if consciousness contains a psyche, then more of what is it to be a human is included in the souls experience, makeup. IE: soul+consciousness+psyche= it's totality on any plane of existence be it earth, heaven, hell, purgatory, other realms--like animal. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!)


Soul Readings
We all have a soul’s record. The Akashic Record contains the energy and history of everything each soul has ever experienced. By tuning into you; your soul’s record; your higher self, and perhaps a committee of beings who assist your soul; your spiritual guides and angelic guides I am able to do a reading on your soul. A Soul Reading is an opportunity to touch into and connect with yourself at the Soul level. We each are here at this time in order to embody and manifest our own very special, unique, and wonderful array of "gifts" on the earth. We each have something to express in this lifetime. In order to do a soul reading, the soul reader must tap into this eternal record that lies within the spirit plane, not the unconscious mind at large, which Freud and Jung spoke of and many psychics or those who use clairvoyance tap into, this might confuse some. Instead the reader taps into the spiritual plane, which upon it lies the book of knowledge on all souls living, their pasts, and present.

I have had a soul reading done, in a higher conscious state, by those that I would call my soul's guides. They are not physical beings on this plane, but rather live on another probably higher, most likely spiritual plane. Always when one does a spiritual reading the person being read is always asked to connect with their spiritual guides, their angels, those "other" beings that watch over them, or know them via their soul. So many times, at least 6 or 7, I had my soul read to me, by these guides, and have been told details that very much pleased me. I also have had readings done from intuitionist's, including those knowledgable in such a topic. In order to understand more of a soul reading, I was told to to read certain books from Alice Bailey, including her novel called Rays & the Initiations. I advise the reader to check out this book.
