Where the soul is in the body

The soul's experience is both in the body and mind, but the body cannot experience the mind, and the mind cannot experience the body without the soul. It is a trinity of interrelationship.

So the soul is guided from God with love
The body is guided from the ego with fear
The mind is guided from the intelligence of the body and soul
And all experience is the non-dual truth.

There can be various answers to that, because "soul" is a very vague word and doesn't accurately fit to anything in particular.


Let's start with this basic fact. There are trillions of cells and single-celled organisms in your body. All of them have at least a fair degree of autonomy, as if they are discrete units which are animated by life.

How could an aspect of "soul" be wholly absent from these, and they still live? Unless "soul" has nothing to do with bringing life, and has been given some other arbitrary meaning.


The life-force permeates through your entire body and also in "places" where the 3 familiar physical dimensions and even time don't necessarily exist. It has no "place." Its "beingness" is a multi-dimensional phenomena that animates the entire body and every single cell, organ or organism within it, and outside of it, and where space itself doesn't even exist.

What might a child say when asking the questions you purpose?

If the location of the question is locatable then the answer is found.
The location of the question is locatable.
The answer is found.

Will the next post be in some foreign language not understandable by human?

What about those who have had a heart transplant? but THEY do not change?
Or what about a few people that have a PLASTIC/other material heart, as well they dont change.
Or even to the more bizarre what about those who have been given a heart of some animal (in some rare procedures it has been done)

a 'soul' is nothing material or spiritual... any more than One's own 'conscience' is...

that inner dialogue, we sometimes manifest to see just which moral or ethical direction we will take in the problematic situation before us.

the soul or conscience, is the mentally constructed 'envelope' which
surrounds the impulses we get from our reptilian part of out brain structure, [the LIMBIC REGION]
where our baser drives, instinctual actions, emotions like 'Passion' are generated.
the soul-conscience is our self's governor to help regulate our social interactions so that we do not become a parriah or an outcast from the larger group...
thence a 'soul' was deemed an abstract/ & spiritual thing
by the religious overlords

soul is illusion, an abstract concept, describing the inate self-regulation we have as individuals in the social group... unless one suffers the curse of being a sociopath, then their 'soul is evil'
