The soul what is the soul? The soul is your consciousness, which is who you are at your core. It's the energy that is you. At our core, we are all just light and vibration that comes together with matter to create us. Think of your body is the vehicle, your heart as the motor and your brain is the driver seat and controls your soul. You are the driver.
Everything is energy and everything is connected. every living being has a soul. That means you your mom, your dog, the trees, Amoeba, etc. You are so much bigger than the confines of your physical body. James Van Praagh, a well known spirit medium, described it as your soul is like an ocean. And this physical experience is like a wave in that ocean.
Your soul doesn't end. Our consciousness doesn't end it simply evolves. Time is an illusion, the past, present and future are all happening at the same time. It's just that in this life as human beings, we perceive time in a linear way. The human experience is like a school, we come here to learn and grow into better souls. I personally believe that we have lived more than one lifetime, to keep coming back and learning and to make up for the past karma.
I believe that we all come from the energy of love, which you can call God or the Creator. I call it the universe. I look at it like Star Wars kind of I know the force and energy that is in all things and where we all come from and are a part of it makes total sense for me. Life is like a driving test. Depending on how the driver the soul drives their vehicle, your physical body and handles the controls your mind and how they take care of the motor. Your heart depends on if you pass the test.
We never ever stop learning though we come back again and again to keep learning or make up for past karma. We don't remember this. We're born with amnesia. We must go through the human process and figure it out for ourselves. The key is to remember who you are again. So why do people do bad things?
Free will. We have choice? How we choose drive our vehicle will determine the lessons we learn. Any soul can learn from their mistakes and heal and become better if they choose
