Seeing The Soul

Do you believe in something you cannot see? Can you see your feelings? Can you see electricity? But you do believe in these.

Scientists are convinced that the soul is a product of the chemical and electrical activity of the human brain, and as such has no existence in its own right. They do not believe in the soul. They believe in the body and its processes.

I think we can all agree there is nothing eternal or transcendent about the body and its processes, as awe-inspiring and miraculous as they may be. The body comes into being and eventually it ceases to exist. And if you only believe what you can see, then it is difficult to believe in the soul.

Unless you have seen death. If you have seen death, you have witnessed the separation of the soul from the body. At the moment of death, the soul appears as a chimera rising from the lifeless body and floating free. It has the color of mercury, and its fluidity. So if you only believe in something you can see, then look for the soul when you are witnessing death.

In the end, it doesn't matter whether you believe in the soul or not. Your soul will continue to inhabit your mortal body. Until you die, and then it will float free and go on its way.
