Existence of Soul spirit
« on: July 25, 2009, 03:13:40 PM »
How do you know that the soul or spirit really exist within you? Is there a way to prove its existence?

I think it is something you feel - like your conscience. I'm interested on what others say on this topic!

i don't know how to proove it, but we can look at things which collective lead us to believe (if we are so inclined).

firstly there are mortal ghosts - they continue to exist however long after the body has died. suggesting we are more than just physical creatures

second, there's the existence of divine creatures, such as archangels and animal spirits (which the natives of america believe in). suggesting that a physical body isn't the sole criteria for life.

third, there's the spiritual practices of the buddhists  who believe that returned souls can predict the general circumstances of their next mortal life. suggesting that something does continue between physical lives and goes on to be born again.

outside of scientifically recorded proof, those are some of the examples i can think of. but if you don't believe then nothing will persuade you anyway. it's one of those things; people either believe or they don't.
if all you see is 'suffering' then that is all you will feel. look for what is better in yourself and see only that.

Every person has spirit. But it is within the person. We can prove it because their are no animals and birds along with angel's before god. So, god made human beings very specifically according to his will.

i agree that we have souls or spirits within us. i believed what those near-deaths says that their spirits rose and they looked at their bodies while being revived by doctors as well as them traveling to a beautiful place.

I think spirits are our guardian that sits deep within us that arises during critical time or emergency. It is like part of our self that only surface when we have a need of it, when have no longer have faith in our self, in people or in God.  As sometimes we cannot help or choose to lose with our battle or fail and wish not to struggle, or to hate people and reject someone. When we no longer seek the goodness in life, when we kill the love in our heart or we live against our self or other people, I think that is when our soul spirit comes to revive us. It is this part of our self that won’t let us give up life, love and faith. It is this part of our self that fights for us to get to God if we wish not to follow or be with Him, that battles for us to not let the evil forces that are putting us down win. Soul spirit is our self that we fight for and fight for us because it is our form that goes to the other world once we die on earth.

I don't think there is a way to prove the existence of a soul, but there's one thing that speaks quite well on it's behalf in science. It is a fact that nobody knows where thoughts come from. There is no brain activity that would indicate the origins of a thought, it only shows where the thought is processed. I believe that the thought is the consciousness of the soul, and the brain is like the radio transmitter that moves them seamlessly into the consciousness of the body.

I think eventually science will pinpoint our consciousness, but I doubt it'll ever show the soul. As an intangible aspect of life, it loses power if we can outline it and study it.

I do not know how to prove it but I do believe that we are not just physical body. Spirit can be just a fuel in a machine, when there is no fuel already, the machine will not run. So spirit when still within our body, we are still alive.
