"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able todestroy both soul and body in hell."
Soul is the truest part of self.. that which reflects your truest nature. Our personality might be reflected by our soul and eventually our personality could combine within oursoul to blend with the core if we take care to reach personal enlightenment and self-actualization.The soul isn't the part of us that is ruled by the ego. Ego rules overour physical and more worldly attributes. Our ego makes up ouranimal nature, it reacts based upon our desires, our senses, our mostneglected and unnurtured areas of our persona. Our soul doesn'thave a need or desire that which rules over us. The soul is the pureessence of our nature. It's where we love (not lust) from, where wehave compassion, find enlightenment and from where we come tounderstand the secrets of the universe. The soul has no need tofulfill it's purpose by using the bodily senses or succumbing tophysical responses caused because of our unnurtured parts to ourego. Which are essentially obstacles set forth at the time of birth or whatever else rules our egos.To give an example in order to further understand Soul and Ego..look at newly born baby. Nothing matters to them, they are just theembodiment of love, trust and purity. When that child is in theirphysical body long enough, let's say the age of two.. they arecompletely ruled by the Ego. They want what they want right now just because their senses were stimulated.They want their food right now because they are hungry, they want the pretty toy right now because it caughttheir attention, they want to run when they want, they want to sleep when they want, they want to act out how they want when they want.. and all because they need thier egos pacified, and what better and quicker way to dothat.. than with instant gratification.Unfortunately, many people don't really make it beyond this age in spiritual growth, but that's a whole otherconversation I will have to delve into that at another time. Now, it's time to revisit Dr. Phil and his soulmatematching enterprise. When our 'love' is ruled by our ego, and our ego is just a neglected and unnurtured part of our persona that is often uneffected by the purist parts of our soul.. well, we simply don't know ourself enough toknow who we are, let alone know who our soulmate is... even if that person was standing in front of us. So how,praytell, can we pay a service to do this for us? As a society, I believe that we take for granted this ideal of soulmate. Nearly as if we are to be blessed withsomeone's beauty and grace in order to help us become better people and 'save' us. Well, in some way.. thisperson will aide us in progressing in life. However, I do believe that God/dess etc. would like for us to be able to be in a place within ourselves that we can understand what true spiritual union is. What it means to havesomeone that we can build a life with for the betterment of mankind. I believe that society's view of soulmate isoften a selfish one. I must pose the question... Why would God want to give us such a special person if we weren't willing enough to work towards the sanctity and purity of our own soul. Often times, before humans go throughthis process and get into a relationship (whether soulmate or not) it becomes destructive, as such a pure presenceas a soulmate is often a shock to the poison and toxins that pollute the soul that goes unnurtured, unrefined andimpure. We shouldn't celebrate such a beauty presence in our life by using our destructive and toxic impurities toinvade them. We should be able to give them the gift they give us.. a pure, special and unique loving person whois ready to embrace them, giving and sharing in a spiritual and physical union that goes beyond what we have in
