You all got this down I hope? Lovely now lets continue to my own view of the soul.

My Soul is...

I see my soul as a mirror, my past incarnations are divided into the reflections and sides of this mirror. One side one part of wisdom, an emotion, a personality trait...all these things reflect my soul. 

I have been told by so many that I am such a confusing person. "It is so difficult to grasp your personality. One minute you are social and laughing.The next minute you become serious and focus on more important tasks. Its like you become a whole new person" 

Was the words from my teacher a few years ago. He said this in such a way that made me wonder. Do I have multiple personalities? Noo way...I thought that can't be right, sure ok I do talk to myself but who doesn't do that?

Then I thought back to how my life had shaped me. I was bullied, ridiculed, taught things other children my age found disgusting. I found earth worms, beetles and toads cute! They ARE cute! So being serious is one...

Emotions...is another...lets see if I can show you apart of me that is my special mind space, this is also apart of myself and my soul  

This is awfully similar to my mind space, my own hideout inside my...mind...the clucking river, stone altar a distance from the river itself, and where all the paths cross a giant tree...where doors to other worlds open...and I can't forget the waterfall with the cave behind...

You all have your own mind spaces. Maybe it is similar to my forest grove?

How others see the soul?

Some Christians see the Soul as the sacred body that is able to communicate with god. Both our physical and spiritual body is a temple so God can take place and share his love. Henceforth you should treat body and spirit as such a "temple"(translation) = Take care of your body so it will stay healthy, keep a healthy psyche (mind) and you will have a good life.

Some believe the soul is influenced by what our brain does. 

Some believe the soul is a complicated matter of energy, chi,qi..

Quite many who have read fiction, new age and neo paganism since the 60's and 70's Have become more aware of things they never thought of until THAT one story struck a cord within their "soul"?

This train of thought can apply to many awareness groups and I can only mention a few of those I have come across

New Agers, Starseeds, Otherkin, Vampire communities and lifestyles, curious people with spiritual interests and hobbies.

"Dearest child carry many names alike"

This is a saying from my country and the reason why I'm using it here is because it will fit so well.

The Soul has many names, different meanings the same "essential function" and these names are..

Spirit, Astral Self, Higher Self, The You of the Past, Currently yourself, Conscious, Subconsciousness, psyche, apart of the holy ghost..

This is how my current post will end. Because my soul is weary and my words have been sent..

until next time enjoy!
