Chapter 6:  Session 526

                                  The Soul And The Nature

                                         Of Its Perception

 

 

"Now: We will have a short session, and begin to dictate the next chapter.

 

"With the little background given so far, we can at least begin to discuss the subject of this book: The eternal validity of the soul. Even when we are exploring other issues, we will be trying to illustrate the multidimensional aspect of this inner self. There are many misconceptions connected with it, and first of all we shall try to dismiss these.

 

"First of all, a soul is not something that you have. It is what you are. I usually use the term 'entity' in preference to the term 'soul,' simply because those particular misconceptions are not so connected with the word 'entity,' and its connotations are less religious in an organizational sense.

 

"The trouble is that you frequently consider the soul or entity as a finished, static 'thing' that belongs to you but is not you. The soul or entity -- in other words, your most intimate powerful inner identity -- is and must be forever changing. It is not, therefore, something like a cherished heirloom. It is alive, responsive, curious. It forms the flesh and the world that you know, and it is in a state of becoming."
