Difference in

What is the Difference in our ESSENCE and our SOUL ???????

I believe they are two entirely different things but will wait some to say what I think/

The inner essence of the human body,I do agree is our soul....
Our spirit which makes us 'tick'.  The rest is just human flesh....

any more theories to share??????

Just got internet back again.
Give me a bit more time please xx

I will explain as it was told to me.
What is called soul is a complexity.
The actual essence of the soul is non conscious consciousness.
This non conscious consciousness is held or trapped by what is called
a mind matrix.
An example would be a basket with water in it.
The mind matrix is cognitive,volitional and affectionate.
Entwined in consciousness and in the mind matrix is beingness.Beingness is life.It is the source of consciousness .
There can be beingness without consciousness,but not the other way round.
The "I" is the creative word and it is beingness made verbal in consciousness.
The "I" ,the mind matrix and consciousness function as an irreducible wholeness with I and the mind matrix being the means of self inspection.This a self aware soul
Such a soul is a type of holographic universe in its own right.A microcosm in a macrocosm.

wooooooooahhhhhhh...complex over my head answer lol
sorta my explanation as well just not as complex in vocabulary.. kudos to your mind  Stephen.

now my country girl ..hillbilly vocabulary which to you guys may be sounding  even more complex then Stephens very articulate reply lol

To me soul and Essence are totally different.

one is Who we are the other What we are

They are in  a sense another set of Twins.

Essence  is our attributes, our human nature, our identity.  call it our Tangible ..our who we are

Soul is  our  thoughts, our actions, our emotions. it is the what we are..it is our immortality our intangible

Now they in their twinness can both leave our bodies and  travel at night or visually etc.
BUT they can not, both leave at same time or we will experience final death.

If our soul leaves we stay tethered to our human form by our essence..
If our essence leaves this carcass we are tethered by our soul.

One MUST always be in the  body at all times.
Neither more important then the other   just two halfs of the  twins

I am back again for a little while, lol
Now for my two penneth ....
My answer may be the same as one of yours, but in my language, lol

I see our essence as who we are, our make up, our individual energy, in this lifetime.
I see our soul as who we always will be, always have been.

Like an apple tree .... the soul
Each apple being eaten a different way, one stewed, one raw, one being mixed with other fruit ...
Their essence changes, but they will always be an apple.

mmm, methinks I have complicated it a bit

I think you are a genius Mia.. wonderful analogy

I also concur with Stephen..just had to  stop and take point by point and really think...

just because I speak my truths does not mean they are accurate

 

despite what I said above can the soul ever not   hold essence ???

Despite writing on the soul and its essence with a bit of assurity.
I will be honest and admit I live in ignorance of what my soul is and
what it does.I do see the soul as feminine and the "I" as masculine.
Again our twins appear.But soul remains to me an enigma a mystery
which is endlessly surprising me in its complexity and creativity.
Stephen

I do see the soul as feminine and the "I" as masculine

maybe just maybe it is because your a male in this lifetime and men have never figured out the female mind

and vice versa woman can't make sense of the male mind

we both think the other gender is nuts half the time

pleasure is the only thing that seems to draw the two together for any length of time...food, sex etc

You are probably right.

You are probably right.

funniest thing  I ever read... don't count on it.. I may hold knowledge on many  things but am like a infant  in so many others and so very wrong  in my beleifs as well .

Daily I seem to find a piece of    a puzzle that alters my truths.

My saying something does not mean it is right by any stretch of the imagination.
