Chapter 2
What different religions and Spiritual groups say about the human soul

Picture 32948065

The common saying goes as follows; we are Spiritual beings having a human experience. It’s a statement we take so lightly, but we need to ponder on it, and have a full comprehension of what it actual means. Once we fully understand what it means we then need, to have a consistent conscious awareness of not just its meaning, but who we really are.

I put it this way, we are spirits in a container, and the container happens to be our body. I have always known that most holy scriptures are coded, and it takes insight to really understand what is really being said. The holy book that I am most familiar with is the Bible, so I …show more content…

The main reason I say this is because of a verse in the Book of Genesis. This verse was from Jacob to Pharaoh; I quote from Genesis 47: 9, And Pharaoh asked Jacob, How old are you? 9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are 130 years.
What got my attention was the word pilgrimage; let me give a little background about Jacob. His parents were Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac was the son of Abraham. Jacob was the younger twin from Rebecca and Isaac, his brother was Esau and happen to be the older twin, now Jacob was the spiritual one, and walked with God, and it’s pretty obvious when you walk with God, you have a deeper spiritual perception, please don’t take being religious and walking with God the same. In my opinion, religion is man trying to control man, and putting man in bondage.
Now back to the word pilgrimage, this word means to embark on a journey that has spiritual significance and value. When I first saw the word in the verse, it dawn on me that he knew what was not perceived by a lot of people who walk the earth. It is also fair to say that Jacob’s soul had grown and that was why he name was changed to …show more content…

Out of which 31.5% are of the Christian faith. (2.3 billion)
According to the Christian faith, to enter Heaven / Paradise, such soul has to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord. Also according to the Faith, hell was created for the Devil and his fallen angels, (these are also known as familiar spirits. Some human beings actual choose to possess these entity, so technically, if this is still the case at point of death, then they will go to the same place.
How, as we well know we have some decent people in our world, and are not religious or spiritual, but are good people. My question is where do their souls go?
In a later Chapter I will be introducing the 7 different Spheres and also the celestial sphere, the celestial sphere is also known as the Kingdom of God, so that would be home to the real Christians. I used the world real, because not all people who claim to be Christians are

Father Spitzer presents an argument for the existence of the physical soul, and examines the possibility of the body being merely physical. Through the presentation of veridical data and a sound argument, Father Spitzer asserts that accounts of veridical experiences during clinical death help prove the human soul’s existence. Father Spitzer’s argument relies on veridical data and accounts provided by patients in multiple case studies. His argument, ultimately, falls to the amount of data gathered by the dead during clinical death, which can later be reported accurately. This argument is inductive, and provides many reasons to believe the ultimate conclusion, that the body is not merely physical, and there must be a presence of a type of soul.

At some point in their lives, almost everyone has pondered the idea of what happens to someone after death, regardless of what religion they were. For me and in my life, I have always wondered if I were to die tomorrow, would I in the eyes of Jesus be willingly brought into Heaven. Nobody can say for sure what either Heaven or Hell looks like. Granted all of this, I will describe Heaven and Hell in depth based on the writings of C.S. Lewis in his book The Great Divorce. Along with this, I will add my own perspective on why I believe Lewis portraits these places in the particular ways that he does.

If the soul cannot possibly begin when a person does, when and where else could the event take place? However, Darrow 's argument is impaired by his incongruous application of the term soul. He mentions that the soul is popularly equated with identity, consciousness and memory, but fails to specify whether it is this notion or another that he uses. (42) Presuming, for the sake of moving forward, that it is this definition he himself adopts, it seems directly in conflict with his belief that the soul would exist outside of the physical body. (43) Darrow 's argument lacks a clear explication of his concept of the soul and, furthermore, it presents a confusing, contradictory account of the soul 's nature and

As soon as Adam paid his Karmic debt through righteous living, he was given a ticket to Heaven and he suddenly awoke on the planet where he had fallen unconscious. He bore witness to the fact that all of the reincarnated souls still living in the lower planes were held captive in third-dimensional-Earth because of their Karmic imbalance. He noted that there are innumerable versions of Adam and Eve, beautiful children, all fallen unconscious, even in Heaven. The truth is, once a soul is born into life, it takes form in all the dimensions. As it ascends from one dimension to another, it grows in consciousness and moves up the ladder.

When people follow their own truths, they are “safe at last” meaning they are living the way they are supposed to live (Emerson 31). In other parts of his essay, Emerson says that the soul is light, that the relation of the soul to the divine spirit is pure, and that the soul “becomes.” Emerson consistently provokes a positive connotation for the word soul because your soul is the most important part that makes you who you are, as it contains your

Biblical Symbolism in Jacob’s Ladder: A Potential Origin Story Although it may not have been intended, the title of Fitzgerald’s short story, Jacob’s Ladder suggests and invites biblical symbolism. In the Book of Genesis, the biblical Patriarch, Jacob, dreamt of a ladder that connects Earth to the gate of Heaven. On his way toward Haran, Jacob rested on a stone where “he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven” (Genesis 28: 10-19).

However, Zoroastrianism predates Christianity, therefore these ideas were already in place before Christianity was being transcribed. An article summoned up the belief that “....upon death and according to its earthly deeds and its acceptance of the Christian faith, the soul enters Heaven, Purgatory or Hell. There it awaits the Last Judgment when the dead shall rise again, the redeemed to enjoy life everlasting and the unsaved to suffer eternally” (Bodhinatha Veylanswami 40-41). This passage summarizes the Christian idea that upon death the soul will either enter Heaven, Purgatory or Hell depending on how that person chose to live their life. When Jesus returns all the living and the dead will either enter eternal paradise or eternal suffering.
