What is the Difference Between the Soul and Spirit?

I'm in a Facebook group of many diverse people, the Arcturians. Today I saw that someone had posed the question, "What is the difference between the soul and spirit? Here is my response.

 I have thought about this, too, and the way I see it both words mean basically the same thing. Soul seems like an older word that mostly Christians use. Spirit seems more inclusive somehow, kind of an expansion of what people meant when they used to say soul. I use both words. 

Basically it's the part of us that you can't see. It's not the physical body; it's the spark of life that imbues it. And the spirit or the soul carries both our past lifetime memories and is also part of the greater soul of collective humanity. How that all works out is part of the greater mystery, the beguiling unknown that those of us on a spiritual path continually explore.

Biden's Great Appointment of Transgender Rachel Levine as Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services

 

Fantastic! As a visionary, I reached the understanding this past year that transgender people and those who are "gender nonconforming", are important wayshowers in the evolution of humanity at this time. For one, Americans have become such a nation of conformists, sheeple if you may, that anyone who doesn't conform in any way is one courageous singular person. Conformity is a corporate value, and it works against self-expression, which is the core of freedom.

 

The paradigm shift that we are experiencing right now is taking us into a greater consciousness, a deeper level of understanding, if you're able to follow me on this. We are starting to remember all of who we are and have been, and continue to be. As we start to wend our way through the multiverses and alternate realities of higher levels of consciousness, awakening to the full extent of all of who we are, that means we begin to get in touch with past lives, often lived as the opposite gender.

 

The truth is that we are all an amalgam of all the lives that we've led, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a man, and as our memory returns with a greater awareness of the fluid nature of time and space, we will become more aware of all of these different aspects of who we are.

 

I realize that I probably lost almost of all of you in sharing these insights. And I could be wrong. Actually I want to write a story with a transgender hero/heroine, that will help people begin to explore all of this. It's one of my goals for this year.

I just know that this news makes me rejoice.

 

Congratulations Rachel Levine! I am sure you will do an outstanding job for all of us in this position as Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services. Our country needs someone with your level of experience and knowledge to help lead in protecting the health and safety of Americans during this pandemic. May the Senate confirm your appointment.

See New York Times article, January 19, 2021, "Biden’s pick for Health and Human Services role would be first transgender federal official confirmed by the Senate," by Eileen Sullivan.
