The Soul - formulating a definition

1. There is a single point in which all experience converges into a continuous conscious reality. The Soul is that Singularity, and is perhaps a fractal of God’s Soul. In connection to the physical world through the mind and body, our souls have an input characterized by consciousness, and output characterized by intention.

2. The purpose of the Soul is the convergence of experience, into one cohesive reality. The soul is infinite, so it both changes and does not change; its connections change, but it always remains singular and indivisible.

3. The Soul's role in the physical world is to be conscious of it, and to enact its will within it. The Soul does not perceive, the mind does, the soul turns those perceptions into a singular conscious experience. The medium of experience is the World, mind, and body. Free will from the Soul is merely the soul's output through the mind and body to the World. Free will, here, does not mean the ability to do anything one imagines. Free will is synonymous with intention, in this theory.

4. The Soul's relation to other Souls is through individual mind-body connections to the World. Souls are otherwise separate from each other, although perhaps connected in virtue of being fractals of God's Soul. God's Soul would be considered a collective consciousness.

5. The Soul is infinite. The body and mind will die, but the Soul cannot. The Soul is non-local, it does not exist in any physical place. The Soul instantiates the mind-body connection.
