A question about human souls...?

well personally I'm more inclined to believe that our souls go back into the earth and become part of nature's cycle. like, everything is a part of everything at one time or another. circle of life and all that good stuff.

Everything has the Essence of God within it. Rocks, animals, dirt, plants....All are made of atoms which have the Energy of God within it. It all is from God and Is God. We really were not 'created' in a sense of something separate. A part of this Energy became unbalanced and thought itself to be separate and suffered the illusion of ego. The difference is the level of vibration and the consciousness. Animals and plants have a purpose and when that purpose is finished that Essence energy returns to the Source/God to be used again and again. Talk about the Ultimate Recycling Program!!

Humans have a bit more in the way of consciousness. Humans have the mind to choose how they live live as opposed to the designed life of Nature. Humans can live according to 'their own' rules, morals and behaviors which are all based on ego and takes a person further away into darkness,,,,or a human has the choice to experience the awakening of the Spiritual Force within and seek a higher more spiritual way of life which takes a person more toward Light and Source/God.

That is the whole reason God sent His Spirit to humanity 7 times to guide humanity in these choices. Humanity is stubborn for the most part and does not think it is cool to be Godly and on a Spiritual journey which includes everyone in One Path. Alot want to think 'their' way is the only way or their Prophet is the only one and this kind of thinking is just ego and leads to separation and division.

If a person really contemplates on that,,,,what kind of God would create such confusion??? The answer is 'only a god of a persons concepts and man made ideas' and the Truth of God includes everyone and every religion.

The Goal of life is to return to this Oneness/Source/God.

Thankfully, there is now a way to understand all this better and see what God has been doing thru all His Messengers and finally the last part of His Plan is finished with the 7th Seal and The Greatest Sign.

His Messenger is on earth now and this is the Letter to Humanity. We have a huge choice to make now.

Energy and consciousness are not the same thing. Energy gets re-used, even the grass decomposes and becomes new soil, people's bodies make great natural fertilizer, etc.. The "energy" is accounted for without requiring a soul. Consciousness, on the other hand, is self-awareness and that is the part that goes on if there is any form of afterlife. Most likely, that would be some form of reincarnation, the idea of one physical lifetime to determine if we go to eternal reward or punishment makes no sense whatsoever. It is also totally inconsistent with the idea of any kind of "loving" god.

You are what you eat " The plants and animals become part of you, Their soul adds to your and you will be one, until that day when your souls will separate.

The American Indians had the right idea, They would thank the animal they kill and teat it's soul with respect, Asking the Great Spirit forgiveness and Thanking Him at the same time.

Today we teat animals like trash, Same as we do our earth. We put ours selves way to high, as gods of the land God has loan us. We are doing a very bad job managing God' world.

I've never heard those two sciences put together before... about souls and energy... I just thought that it was because when God created man, he made him a living soul. Hell is for those who have sin against God on their record and heaven is for those who are spotless. Those in heaven will one day live on the earth again after it has been deluged with fire.

Plants and animals do have souls. God gave every living thing a soul. That's why most animals are good (granted they have instincts) until man corrupts them.

ROMANS 8:19-21 "the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."

(KJV).

LUKE 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" (NKJ)

ACTS 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. (KJV)

REV. 21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (KJV)

ECCLESIASTES 3:18 I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals”. (NKJ)

ECCLESIASTES 3:19-20 Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath, man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust and to dust all return. (NIV)

LUKE 3:6 "all flesh shall see the salvation of God." (KJV)

PSALM 36:6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD. (NRS)

GENESIS 1:30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. (DBY)

That sounds like a weak argument for the existence of the human soul.

Some people say that plants and animals do have souls.
