WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Where is your soul?

Posted about 1 year ago
I am a teacher and I was reading a story to my class (10 year olds)on Friday and in the book it mentioned that if you weigh the body just before the owner dies and then just after, there is a difference of 3 grams- people say that the soul has left the body. I had a discussion with my class about where do they think their soul is? Some said in the brain, some said in the eyes (the eyes are the window to your souls), some said " the face" and then one child said "The soul is all around us, we are one" which to me seemed very insightful and a lovely positive thought.More discussion followed about life after death and about how we are all made out of atoms, matter and anti-matter, these particles are energy and we know that energy can not be destroyed.So to all my friends who are grieving at the moment, She is fine...Here is a cover of Jimi Hendrix's Little wing

  1. Ben Heller says Nice, thought provoking post Mindful. I'm not a particularly spiritual person, but I really would like to believe that there is something after this life. When my father passed away recently, during many conversations I had with him in the final weeks,he was never once fearful of death because in his mind he was truly convinced that he was moving to another life.

  2. Mindful says Ben: Thankyou for your words, Your father, I suppose, knew what to expect. he had no fear. Humans can sometimes waste energy on feeling fear and feeling guilty. My thought for today would be have no fear and have no guilt.

  3. Neill says Because we are so self aware we have a very hard time imagining non-existence. Building a religion can fill in the gaps and if its what people need to get through the grief that's OK by me, although I never felt the need when my brother was killed. You live, you die, end of story, and if the is anything else, it's going to happen whatever.....
