In trying to answer this question, certain other questions need to be addressed. A Soul in isolation is, as well as being impossible, very difficult to describe. The reason is that the Soul cannot be thought of outside of its function and the function of the Soul is to mediate between the Un-incarnate Self and the individual, personal self.

The individual personal self, in this case is made up of the Aura, the Chakra system, and the physical body, each of which need further elaboration but we can for now take it as a whole.

The Un-incarnate is the you on a much higher level. The Un-incarnate is an entity which can be thought of as a being who projects out a portion of itself into incarnation. This projection is what you would commonly think of as yourself. The Un-incarnate may have several such projections at any one time, each projection has a finite existence and will be renew as need requires, this you will see as reincarnation.

This process of incarnation and reincarnation would have very little purpose for the Un-incarnate if there was no connection between itself and the individual, personal self. This connection is the Soul.

The Soul also can be thought of as a separate entity but it can never be separated from its function. So the Soul takes the designs and wishes of the Un-incarnate and attempts to transmit these instructions to the individual projection which it has care of. There may be a certain amount of autonomy as to the way it accomplishes this function, but its function is clear. If the Soul is efficient in this task, you the individual personal self are better able to understand your function or purpose, which has, of course, be designated by the Un-incarnate. While we may not be given to understand the whole picture, the total design which the Un-incarnate is attempting to play out, connection with the Soul will, to a greater or lesser degree, informs us of the part we play in the greater scheme of the Un-incarnate.

We have been discussing the individual personal self as a projection of the Un-incarnate. It is as well to realise that we are a very real part of the Un-incarnate and therefore it is as well to consider the Un-incarnate as our true, eternal Self. In this way we will feel a greater connection with the Soul, which is very often felt as our inner or higher self.

The Soul is not a one way street, very important is the knowledge and experiences passed back to the Un-incarnate. Much of this is communicated during what we call life and finalised after the demise of the physical body. Much of what or who, we are or become, is absorbed into the Soul, which itself is finally absorbed back into the Un-incarnate.

It should be clear now how important it is to the fulfilment of ourselves on all levels, that a good Soul connection is formed. It is desirable then to establish, the methods of and the associated experiences of, the communications we make with our Soul, in both directions.

How do we talk to our Soul, because ultimately if we wish to understand the Soul, is it not best to ask the Soul direct, why read a biography when you can talk to the person face to face. To do this, a lot of the time, people need to externalise the Soul and visualise it in some anthropomorphic form, animal totem or guardian angel. It will be found that many times one externalised form is totally insufficient to fully describe the Soul and what communications it is trying to issue forth. These externalisation's will also change over time as the messages of the Soul change as a consequence of our understanding and actions.

The medium through which we work when connecting with the Soul has been termed the inner world and this inner world is very accessible to us all but how well do we incorporate it into the outer, fully conscious world of our everyday affairs. It is, for most, that there is the real world and an imaginary world of dreams and fantasy. To some however, the two worlds are able to coexist sometimes impinging on each other sometimes not. A few individuals manage to live out a good portion of their lives completely shut up in this inner world, which holds many dangers and falsities. Others, conversely live almost completely in the outer conscious world which brings equal dangers, to ourselves, our Soul and our Un-incarnate.

A balanced approach is to realise that the one is an outcome of the other in both directions. The inner world is a part of our outer world and the outer world is a part of our inner world. The two are as one and the one is as two.

The anthropomorphic forms, totems, and other forms of symbolism, are the language of the Soul. We may at times feel that it would be better if the Soul would communicate by words and sometimes it does but in this case the words or phrases are themselves extremely symbolic and or obtuse. The reason is because ultimately a symbol confers more information than mere words could because usually they are the initiations of a journey or quest which we are asked to undertake. A symbol can lead us off on many paths of discovery and there more symbols are revealed and so the journey continues which eventually becomes our Life, that is, what we have offered back to the Un-incarnate.

How then may we assist the Soul to gather information and experiences from us? This is best done by spiritualising our life. All will eventually be absorbed back to the Un-incarnate at the end of the life of the individual personal self. However, the more we can pass back to the Un-incarnate via the Soul the more the Un-incarnate will respond and offer up further avenues for us to explore. This is how we can live many lives in one.

To spiritualise our life is to combine the inner and outer worlds as described above. To seek the meaning in the mundane and the essence of the complex. In this way our live, our Soul and our Un-incarnate will be richer and more fulfilled.

To summarise the above:
1. The directions of the Soul are in symbolic form.
2. In the journey of your life you are the driver but the Soul is the navigator.
