Proof of the
Soul
by Cheryl Glover
For years, I have been between the dividing point of
philosophy and science. I worked for years in an
engineering company trying to explain business terms
to engineers. This gave me a great deal of practice
when it came to explaining spiritual terms to
non-spiritual people. This, of course, is enough to
make a person schizophrenic. I would oscillate
between left-brain and right-brain as needed. Like
all business people, I learned to be flexible and to
be in the left or right as needed.
However, the major question (going back to my
philosophy school days) is can we prove the
existence of the soul? A great philosophical
question almost as magnanimous as can we prove the
existence of God.
Since I spent many of my college days debating the
proof of God's existence, I will not error and try
that again. However, years ago I knew the formula
for proof of the soul. I was recently reminded of
this point and decided to tackle this again.
Years
ago the spiritual community adopted the banner: "we
are spirit with a body, not a body with a spirit."
This perspective and change of orientation launched
major spiritual movements from understanding
healing, psychic phenomenon to the launch of new
more open type of religions such as Unity and
Universalism.
In fact, the flag-- I AM spirit can be waved
in multiple creeds, beliefs, ideas and sentiments.
Mostly, it can be felt. It can be felt because
when a person believes they are spirit foremost they
behave differently. As spirit, I am responsible not
only for my actions, but for my attractions. In
other words, I am attracting: good, lessons,
challenges, people that I like, other people,
prosperity or lack, love or not love, care or not
care. As spirit, I know my job is to emulate the
Creator. This is what has led so many people to the
study of Kabbalah. It is by connecting to the Divine
qualities, the 13 aspects of the Divine, and using
the correct role model, that we connect with our own
Divine Soul. It is the understanding of the Oneness
of our Creator and our Soul, that holds this unique
connection to peace, consciousness and our evolving
spiritual journey.
Proof of the Soul: One can simply say, "the proof is
in the pudding" and leave it as that. This would not
be sufficient. When I was working on my PH.D in
Philosophy, I did a talk on Albert Einstein as a
philosopher. It was there, that I started to
understand metaphysics on a much deeper level.
Metaphysics sometimes is described as the gap
between what physics can prove and physics cannot
prove. It requires a theoretical assumption to
bridge this gap. It also, can be described as the
theories which define our world but which we haven't
yet proved. For example, the theory of atoms and
gravity were metaphysical concepts for early
scientists until sub atomic microscopes were
invented. The world reacted as if these theories
were true, but it could not be proven. On the other
hand, (and I'm not going there) can the concept of
God be proven or dis-proven? Ever? UFO's often
take the same fate. Psychic phenomena also fall
under this category.
While studying Einstein though I came to a
metaphysical theory just like he did: E=MC2
Energy= Mass * C(Speed) 2
This is Einstein's first LAW of
thermodynamics. In English, it says Matter & energy
cannot be destroyed it can only be changed from one
to the other. "On the most basic level, the equation
says that energy and mass (matter) are
interchangeable; they are different forms of the
same thing. Under the right conditions, energy can
become mass, and vice versa. We humans don't see
them that way—how can a beam of light and a walnut,
say, be different forms of the same thing?—but
Nature does."1
Now, while I've had this discussion with ufologists
and physicists, and have not necessarily been
successful in proving my point, I believe that the
answer to spirituality and proof of the soul lies in
Einstein's formula. If we matter (mass) cannot be
destroyed but can only be changed into energy, doesn't
this describe the spiritual ascent. The changing of
our mass by raising of vibration. Yes, I understand
that it may be a leap of faith that this energy
retains its intelligence, its memory, its essence--
however, why can't it? Just as Nova says, "...
a beam of light and a walnut can be different forms
of the same thing?" Why can't the human body and the
soul be different forms of the same thing? Hmm, that
actually makes sense in light of what Nova says. The
leap that I might make is that instead of calling it
energy i call it Light. I AM Light (I AM spirit)--
oops (here I go again) -- and God is Light.
Light & Light to you, Cheryl
