To regard the soul and body as one, or to ascribe to consciousness a physiological origin, is not detracting from its divinity; it is rather conferring divinity upon the body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Modern science tells us that the conscious self arises from a purely physical brain. We do not have immaterial souls.
The Soul is the voice of the body's interests.
The sense of being a separate, egoic self begins with the astral, not with the physical, body. The soul is individualized spirit.
The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.
The human soul is heavy, clumsy, held in the mud of the flesh. Its perceptions are still coarse and brutish. It can divine nothing clearly, nothing with certainty.
The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.
One certainly has a soul; but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine. I only know if once mine gets out, I'll have a bit of a tussle before I let it get in again to that of any other.
The soul is joined to and is separated from the body. Therefore, the soul is corporeal.
Our soul is not united to our body in the ordinary sense of these terms. It is immediately and directly united to God alone.
It is only to the individual that a soul is given.
