Soul vs Organic Experience

     It is such a peculiar hanger-on from ancient times that people believe for whatever reason an act of love, for instance, is more meaningful if "fate" was behind it or if the beings involved had things called souls located somewhere in their bodies.

      Today one must be objective on the subject whether we are simply animals or animals with souls, whatever those are, because the study of biology has shown what we truly are body and mind. Soul is a theoretical idea; the old world assumed we were body and soul but we cannot truthfully speak about something if we don't know if it exists or not. There is no proof whatsoever for the soul. What is the difference if people share love, friendship, etc. if a deity waved its magic wand over them, bestowing on them an ability to love or if love is an adaptation gained through the process of evolution? Is something more real if it springs from a soul when no one really knows what a soul would really be anyway? People imagine it is a glowing thing, probably due to eons of astrological worship. Really, does the love between husband and wife or two friends need this mumbo-jumbo to be special? If nature can create this reality for us, if you can meet a person with genuine character whom with life is bliss, how less is that love you share just because you are two organisms composed of animal cells who are pushed on to love by an impulse to breed and herd? You can enjoy that love just as much. It is just as pure if you are true. Rather than fall into the trap, foolishly following the tradition of those who came before us who claimed that which was of the physical is lesser, be proud of your humanity.

      This society has forgotten true spirituality. The soul as it is so carelessly spoken of is really death. When the body is forgotten all follows in its weakness. Abstinence has its place in carving the will but when one is as a desert, when one fails to feed their body its needs the spirit withers. Kiss your lover, lay your lips on living skin, share gifts of pleasure and kind words. This sort of charity is cyclical and generative if both know to love true and relish in the others happiness. To love with a mind free of ulterior motives you are holy.
