| DEATH - The existence of a super soul

The puzzle for me is, is it one soul that is responsible for existence or a multitude of souls? If it is a multitude of souls, then the possibility of imprinting our deeds on it, hence the need for it to be erased before being reused sounds plausible. What if it is one Soul from one God? Since God does not have a beginning or end, occupies neither time nor space, is it not plausible that its just one Soul that is responsible for the whole of life? When we say that God is all seeing and all knowing, do we mean this because it is one soul that is responsible for all of existence? This assertion throws up loads of questions. How can one soul be responsible for the diversity in existence? How can one soul account for the diverse species of animals, plants, races, tribes, personalities?
God is the same, irrespective of tribe, religion, language, space, time or whatever limitations of human existence. God is the source of the soul. It is therefore not inconceivable that it is one super soul that is responsible for life. In my view, life is a continuum and death is an integral part of that continuum. By my postulation, the soul could be regarded has a super computer, which our physical manifestation are plugged into. Since the earthly world is physical, our bodies are thus a vessel for the physical manifestation of the soul. In my opinion, when a person dies, that particular life ends. The physical manifestation on earth is unplugged from the Super Soul without any effect on Life. When a living thing is conceived the physical manifestation is also plugged on to the super soul until it dies. Death would thus be an event without any deeper meaning. it would be reduced to a mere necessity without any relevance whatsoever than its meaning. Death would simply mean the end of a life and nothing more. There would be no prospect of an afterlife for the dead. The frenzy associated with death would thus be unnecessary. The concepts of judgement day, heaven, hell and all other associates of afterlife will not hold. This in essence means, we literally have only one life to live. With the possibility of the existence of only one soul which all of life derived their being, it would be everlasting like its source and thus be incapable of being judged. The soul could be regarded as the breath of life. Destruction, carnage and all bad things that happen in the world would be seen in just same perspective as all of the good things. It would be explained off as a necessary interaction or balancing act of nature. In any instance, I don’t think God ever proclaimed that he created a perfect world. If we all derive our essence from one soul, how is our individuality possible?. Asking this would be like asking why God is still the same but diverse? All of humanity believe in the existence of one supreme being irrespective of our race and religious leanings. What exempts the soul from this possibility? Afterall siblings are markedly distinct from each other, even though they are from the same source ( parents )? I am of the opinion that, like its custodian, The soul is an inexhaustible, diverse and extremely complex entity that cannot be constrained by human limitations. The possibility of the existence of one super soul would imply that it is incorruptible and immune to the deeds of its physical manifestation, hence the impossibility to imprint our individual deeds on it. However, because it’s the source of life it can upload the information of its source ( God ) beyond the ones imprinted on it unto its physical manifestation. Hence what can often be referred to as intuition or sixth sense, the ability to know things without prior experience or knowledge. In my opinion, it is the possibility to upload from The soul, that has made it possible for man to threaten and improve human existence through wars, breakthroughs in science and technology, medicine, art , religion. It is the ability to tap into the soul that bestows man with insights. In my opinion, if we all share one soul, from one God, we are all bestowed with this gift. This raises a few posers. Why do some possess the gift, whilst the vast majority don’t? Why did some centuries benefit from this gift of God to man whilst some did not? is the soul selective? What is the criterion for selection? I think God needs man to fine tune existence. The world is an imperfect creation, from a perfect Being. I think God strives for perfection in this world, so he allows certain individuals to upload some of his powers through the soul beyond those he has imprinted on it. This is done in order to anticipate and provide solutions to the problems that threaten existence either from the complexities of nature, or from other physical manifestations that tap into his powers from the soul, but use them negatively for personal aggrandizement. I think God created the world in such a way that he cannot effect changes or improvements directly, unless through, the physical manifestations of the soul. My theory would support Evolution. Mine however differs in the sense that it is not the evolution of man, but of the Soul. In my opinion, the soul keeps evolving to maintain existence. This may seem contrary to the religious faiths believe that God is all seeing and all knowing. They could simply argue that since God is the beginning and the end, an evolution of the soul is ludicrous. I am not questioning God’s omnipotence. Where I think religious faiths miss the point is that the fact that God is the beginning and the end, does not mean that whatever will be would not be. He created the physical world, but he cannot inhabit it. He is eternal, devoid of time, space and measurement. He regulates the physical world through the soul. We are the physical manifestation or embodiment of the soul. When I refer to the soul as evolving, what I am in essence saying is that God improves on the Soul, our source of existence. God thus makes it easier for us, the physical manifestation of the soul, to tap into his powers to improve and nurture his creation. That in my opinion is the true meaning of the saying that man was created in the image of God. Sadly even though we all get our essence from one soul, the vast majority of humans can only tap into the basic powers God has imprinted on the soul, to improve on our own individual lives, but not humanity. I think it is a basic entitlement from the soul. This is necessary for the survival and growth of a particular physical manifestation, till it dies and is unplugged from the soul. However, we have the few free radicals who are fortunate enough to benefit far beyond their basic entitlement and are thus able to use this gift to advance or threaten life. This is where the concept of free will comes to play. Since we have free will, the free radicals, are at liberty to do either evil or good with this gift from God. It may seem controversial that I am professing that both Good and Evil can be gleaned from the same source. This is quite to the contrary. What I am professing is that when the gifted few tap into the powers of God beyond what they are entitled to, they mirror God. The powers that they tap into, are raw, immaculate and devoid of human influence. Due to free will, they can choose to advance or devalue humanity. Whatever road the free radicals decide to pursue will alter and affect the course of humanity. He can either choose to do good or evil from the powers of God he has uploaded from The Soul. God is the ultimate Master. He bestowed on us free will, but with no answers to the questions, riddles and puzzles our possession of free will generate. Ultimately we have to look into the source ( The soul ), our very essence to the answers we seek. Since God is the sole custodian of the Sole, we turn to him constantly for answers. This is in my opinion is what people naturally refer to has prayers. It leaves me asking the question, so much for free will?
CAN THE SOUL DIE?
The soul cannot die. The soul is eternal, only its hosts can die. The soul however keeps evolving. When a life dies, the soul continues to exists, to replenish and nourish life. The purpose of death, sadly would be to maintain some kind of balance in existence. Death would be God’s design of maintaining equilibrium in his creation. Thus death would be an inconsequential occurrence for Man, but a balancing act by God. Death could therefore be his solution of preserving nature. God is the custodian of The Soul, the source of life, and he replenishes creation through the soul . Ultimately, the purpose of death is to preserve creation. Unlike religious faiths that view death as a transition of a soul to another realm of existence, death in my opinion is the end of a life. In my view, the soul of the dead cannot transit to another life because we do not own it, so it cannot die. It is our very essence, without it, we cannot exist. The Soul gives life to us and God is its sole custodian. The Soul is the personification of nature. It cannot be judged, since its the source of everything in existence. In my opinion, the fetish for an afterlife is simply because humans cannot fathom the meaninglessness of life if we did not transit elsewhere when we die. However, for us to transit to another realm of existence, one can easily infer that we came from another realm before we were born into the physical/earthly world. There would in essence be three realms of existence. Prelife realm – where we reside before we are born,. Earthly/physical existence – our earthly life. Afterlife – where we transit to when we die. This would presuppose that each realm is superior to the other, with the Prelife existence being the lowest, whilst the afterlife would be the pinnacle of existence. It would presuppose that our earthly existence is a trial which we have to experience to determine our qualification for the afterlife. The afterlife according to religious faiths is eternal. The purpose of all this complications in my view is to justify the indestructibility of life, but with specific interest with a particular life but not life itself. This is where in my opinion, religious faiths miss the point. I would ask the following questions. Is there an existence before the prelife? When exactly does the cycle start? Why the cycle? The existence of one super soul would clarify this puzzle. One super soul would affirm the indestructibility of Life. It would however destroy the notion that death is a tool for the continuity of a particular life. God has power over death, so automatically The soul too has power over death. Its power over death is not for the continuity of a particular life but for the continuity of Life. In my opinion, the only realm of existence that exists for our individual lives is this earthly existence. The soul like God, is eternal. It is a single entity without form, uninhibited by time, space and measurement. Humans are not eternal. We are powerless to death and are limited by time and space. Religious faiths would be incensed with my portrayal of death as an irrelevant event, with no deeper meaning. I foresee the following queries with my postulation. What is the purpose of life, if death is such an irrelevant event? God is omnipotent, why would he use death as a tool to sustain life, when he can do otherwise?

'Isn't it funny that we creatures of destiny said to have freewill continually turn to a nonentity as an axiom for our existence & by faith create in our minds god.'
