Does a soul or spirit reside in the flesh?

[an0nym0us]

---

You mean the rematerialization of the already dead body? Or is it the rebirth into the Greater Consciousness at the time of your material death?

[Soul Doctor]

...bla..bla..bla.... and that is called "THE FALLACY OF ILLICIT COMPARISON"

What ever my idea of the soul is,
At least I can call this my own idea!

Kayo mayroon ba kayong sariling idea?
Wala naman kayong sariling idea.
Puro sariling opinion.
Palibhasa hanggan basa lang kayo at hindi kayo nag-iisip.
Hayaan nyo naman ang iba na magbigay ng bagong ideya.

May i ask what is resurrection?

I don't belive in resurrection.
I only believe in reincarnation.

Are you Gnostic?

[Soul Doctor]

I refrain from calling or considering myself anything.
I am what I am.
No other name for that.

Think of the body and the soul this way....

The body is like a toy, the soul is energy in the battery and the circuit inside the toy is the consciousness.

And think of God as the "Great Toymaker".

The soul does not live in the flesh, it charges the flesh to become alive.

I have read this before, and you were not the author. That author died decades ago.

Here are other people with similar ideas:

The concept of soul can be easily understood with a simple definition. In a room there is a fan, an electric heater, a refrigerator and a bulb, all fitted and connected to the switchboard. However, without electricity these gadgets cannot work Similarly, without the soul, the body is a corpse. Moreover, the electricity cannot be seen except through the lit bulbs or through moving fans etc. Similarly, the soul being consciousness, identified with super-consciousness, exquisitely subtle, cannot be seen but experienced and realized. This power in an individual is the soul or Jivatma. When it is universal consciousness or Supreme Soul, it is called Paramatman. However, it should be clearly understood that for electricity which lights up a zero power bulb or 1000 watt halogen bulb, the source of energy is the same; only the consumption and performance vary. Likewise individual and cosmic souls are inseparable entities.

"The soul is not any such thing as you may imagine. It is a peculiar 'something' which is difficult to explain in language. It is like electric energy. You cannot say where electricity is. Is it inside the body or outside the body? Is it inside the power-house? It is in every speck of creation. In every atom of the world is electricity present. Likewise, the soul is present in every nook and corner of this creation. It is not sitting inside the body like a small insect or a flame of a candle inside a pot. To conceive it as being located somewhere would be a very peculiar and childish notion. The soul is that integrating 'something' which brings the cells of the body together into a bodily form. It is the force which brings together the various thoughts of your mind and enables the harmonious functioning of anything that you can call as yourself. If, therefore, the soul is to be withdrawn, you will not exist any more. That which you call the 'You' or the 'I' is the soul. It is not something different from what you are."

Hmmm... Not my idea of making friends. Especially, by flaunting ideas that may not be original to the human race in the first place.

I think the nature of truth is that it simply is. It is for us to discover. It is not for us to presume on the basis of an idea, no matter how much we like that idea. Facts may be discovered by logic or by correct observation and correct reasoning. (One may have to setup an experiment though, to gather relevant data.)

Any person, smart or not, creative or not, should be capable of figuring for himself or herself many facts. This, I believe, is what is called common sense.

I don't think coming up with ideas is the same as discovery of truth. Ideas, after all, have no truth value in them (like imagination, for example), unless you somehow link it to what is already known (or later proved by an experiment), thereby one is able to confirm its veracity, or at least, establish probability. I think, ideas belong to the same category as, or are at least related to, imagination.

Declaring an idea as truth, simply because one likes it, is akin to delusion.

I take resurrection as simply the resurgence of my existence.
