Zohar answers, “The nature of the soul
depends upon which system of thought you use, weather you are using a 3-tier
system or a 12-tier system, however, for working purposes I will use a 4-tier
system. In this system there is the body, followed by the mind, followed by the
spirit, and finalized by the soul.
“Where the spirit is that which is wholly human and wholly
divine, that part of yourself that connects you to the divine the soul is pure
divinity in it’s timeless, space less form. Actually, form is a misnomer
because for the soul there is no delineation between substance and form. There
just IS.
“The soul sustains and assures our individual reality. It is
that aspect of divinity for you that separates you from the reality itself,
that which is undifferentiated, that which is sustained by the unobserved
observer, the unmoved mover, the unity of all things that to us appear to be
multiplicity. The soul is your individual sustainer which, together with the
souls of other beings, things, life, and the inanimate, undergirds multiplicity
and permits us to exist with reality relative to one another.
“If this sounds baffling, it is because it cannot be
discussed directly. It is ineffable. That is its nature, so I must use metaphor
and contradictions to indicate it, to connote it rather than to attempt to
denote it. That is why my answer seems so circumspect.”
