Michael & Rickie Beckwith talks about Soul

the theme of the magazine this is going to be for is about reincarnation and the nature of this the soul okay but we wanted to go into this question from many different angles so what I want to speak to what I want to speak to you guys about today is what does it mean to have soul okay but before we get to that but before we get to that well I know why you have me here but before we before we get to that I would like you both to uh or you know or or one of you to to first to describe what the what you believe or understand or imagine the soul to be and then we can talk about what it means to have soul this is good Soul okay now you go you define soul I talk about what it means to have okay okay so the the first question is is what is the soul let me see uh I'll hit at it from a couple of angles I think um when I think about the individual soul well first of all there there's I don't there's so many different levels I think about the individual soul I think about um who I am as an individualized expression of the the universal presence an individualized aspect of everything that there is and it has um and it's and it's constantly unfolding to reveal more of the infinite and so it's it's it's it's forever forever expressing forever unfolding forever emerging forever evolving and at at and and that's a that's a forever trip it never ends some would say that the soul is you know the collective memory of all the all the experience I've ever had as well you know past lives it be more like a kind of a yian version of it right right versus the first one you were saying was that the you said the soul is the individualized expression of the absolute or God yes so more like kind of a what Atman would be to Brahman right okay yeah and then um on another scale it's all the memories all experiences um forged you know that you carry with you mhm and to be individual Collective memory right and and also has the capacity to tap into the um human memory all the all all experiences that have ever happened as well the whole field of collective experience absolutely okay so um so I imagine that we're always just seeking to be more in tune with the the the the the divine presence and dissolving the connection with memories that would inhibit the flow of the harmony the peace the love and all of the the Divine attributes in this particular um Journey or Quest it it continues forever yeah so so once again so we describing Saul as the uh as the individual connection to experience of manifestation of the absolute I would say the the the soul is the individual expression the soul would be the individual expression of the absolute with the soul is and it's also the Carri of memory the collection of individual and Collective memory right okay good so then what what does it mean to have soul someone has Soul you want to go you want me to keep going I can I you can you can keep going but you'll never stop cuz you because you know it because you because you you're you're so versed on it you know you speak about it all the time and I think uh that to have so yeah one must somewhere be connected to that soul that he just spoke about it's like the people that I know who have soul it's like when somebody has Soul it's like they have a certain way of expressing that you know that what they're saying is real that they are able they have the facility the ability to touch you you it's almost like they're not trying to transmit anything transmission is taking place when When I Think About Soul and the people who so Soulful people mhm you know it's way the way I would put it sure you know because A Soulful person may not necessarily be the one that dances well you know but they may just really have a great appreciation for those who can do it you know they they they they you know they'll they'll support it you know what I mean they'll love it Soulful people love they're able to love so you know I think when a person has Soul they love they have something they have some connection to the greater love M hey John col train he was so
