In my attempt to bring together all that i have learned from The Rosicrucians, Martinists, Edgar Cayce, the Bible and words. And then interpret all of my studies. i have concurred within myself (and teach to others), that there is a difference between "Soul" and Spirit".
There seems to be a great difficulty in coming up with words and explanations of "actuality" that can be accepted by those locked into "reality".
Reality being existence as realized through the highly limited 5 senses.
With actuality being existence beyond reality.
An example would be the light range which is much larger with many more facets than that tiny amount that can be perceived through the eyes.
The Creative Source and owner of the entire Cosmos and everything in it is a Spirit.
And as in a big bang, this Spirit exploded at least a trillion little pieces of itself out of itself and these little pieces are us. We are Spirit. Spirit is the image of G-d that we were created in.
Then G-d clothed us in a little white light so that we could be perceived by others. This white light is either the Soul or the combination of Spirit and it's light = Soul.
i am not yet real sure which it is.
But then when The Source breathed us into a human body, the body became known as a "LIVING" Soul. This Soul traveled through out the body. Even permeating out of the pores forming a little light even around the body (the Aura).
So the Soul would be around and throughout the body. --- Dr. Charles Richard Eminizer
