If the soul exists...

[Crippled Lucifer]

I have been having a problem wrapping my mind around this one, and I would be interested tin hearing your theories on this subject.

If the soul exists, then why do form and matter exist? What is the purpose of existence in a phyiscal body?
What do you think?

[Vanhalla]

I think every thing resonates with a certain frequency, a certain vibration, and this vibration determines what dimension you perceive. Several things or beings can exist at the same point in space but be in different dimensions, unperceived, much as radio waves, television waves, and light waves can all exist at the same point in space yet in different frequencies. Our consciousness exists on all density levels, but we are not usually aware of these other levels. All of these dimensions are connected and create a balance. So our physical form is just one part of the larger system, much like a cell in our body is part of the larger system.

To get people asking "where/why/how does my soul exist" in the first place...?

[OMr_duckO]

The soul provides us with the opportunity to experience what we want, The mind choose either that experience or another, and the body acts out that choice.

So "doing" is a function of the body, and "being" is a function of the soul.

Matter exists as an expression of ourselves. We have imagined it into existence as a means of experiencing our own nature.
Perhaps

there is a scientific theory that the soul is actually our dark matter counterpart

a perfect copy, a shadow

there is another world like ours at our fingertips that we can never perceive except through discourse like this

the most amazing thing is that we are the intangibles to them

we are the souls of our own souls

The soul is merely a reference to all that makes you who you are. You could just as justifiable call "who you are" your soul. When you die, your "who you are" becomes a memory, rather than a physical manifestation of "who you are". But even a memory is not nothing. A memory of something can be of extreme value. For example, if I know how to build a machine, because I have built one before, I don't need the original machine to build one. If I am precise enough in my calculations and construction, and I have the methodology firmly in place in my mind, I can build another machine exactly like the first one, directly from memory. The soul of that machine was perfectly contained in my memory, so that soul of the machine, my memory of it, can be said to be just as good as already having it in my hands, when allowing there is time to construct it. So a soul is actually very important. After you die, there will be only the memory of you that remains. And only the One has lived long enough, and is studious enough to retain all these souls/memories, could build you again from your soul. Food for thought.

Just another thought on this: The Alpha/Omega is an extremely advanced being, a mind-blowing life-form, who is capable of manipulating time, matter and energy, and other properties of "reality" that we are not yet aware of. It has already been proven theoretically possible to move backward through time, even with our limited knowledge. Once this concept is accepted - the ability to manipulate the movement of time, and a being who can accomplish it, we can then move to the next level.

Now, let's ask some questions here. Is it possible to go back to the beginning of time? Does time have a beginning? For that matter, does the future have a stopping point? Or is the past and the future a loop, which is tied at both ends? If you make a figure-8 loop by twisting a connected flat band 180 degrees, then follow the outside edge of the loop, do you ever meet the place you started? No, you don't.

This extremely knowledgeable being simply uses mechanisms that exist to accomplish It's goals.

People like to say, "How could even God exist if little children have to die every day?" But think about this: If someone could "pluck" a soul from the "past" time-stream, that person would have no memory past the point they were "plucked", since time beyond that point for them had not yet transpired. So, even if just after the "pluck" that person was horribly killed, after the "pluck" that person would have absolutely no memory of it, because that horrible death had not really transpired yet.

And if someone could "pluck" one person from the "past" time-stream, it would follow that it would be possible to pull multiple persons from the time-stream, and for each one of these individuals there will be events tied to their futures which had not yet transpired.

And here's the connection: Pull a soul (memory) in from the past and "rebuild" it.

This is an important issue, but I think that it is really more appropriate to My God. . . I'd like to see what the regulars there have to say.

There are no scientific theories dealing with the supernatural.

Really? hmm.. what about EXTRA-DIMENSIONAL THEORY??!
