How do I know I have a soul? You cannot know by saying it or in contact with it. Your essence competence wheeze to you, but even afterwards you could only be conference echoes of your own voice.So the essence might be a fiction? The essence isn�t a novella only since it�s invisible. Look. Suspended in a missile of light is the outline of an perplexing spiderweb anchored in in between dual bushes. It gleams and ripples with the smallest breeze.A spider done this web. You can see her work but you don�t see the spider. She binds a little thread that tells her when anything lands in the web. Where has the essence gone? It doesn�t make a difference as prolonged as the tie exists.You still might be devising you have a soul. But that�s the wonder. Nature imagines spiders. Imagine big ones and small ones, well-spoken ones and full of hair ones, those that live in the air, water, and earth, those colored white and black and each shade in between.Think of baby spiders that fly on ethereal threads in the open whilst hulk H2O spiders dive to the bottom of a pool and catch fish. We are ridiculous to think the spider is a thing. It is a alternate whisk of qualities, ever becoming different and fascinating. The essence is similar to that, too. However you suppose it, it will take on that peculiarity and still have gigantic intensity left over.When you ask, �Where is my soul?� the answer isn�t a place but a potential. The essence is wherever it is, has been, and will be.You cannot know for sure either the spider that done the web was white, yellow, or red, big or small, masculine or female, nonetheless that shouldn�t stop you from meaningful that it is real. I have no thought what my essence looks like, either, or what lay opposite the range of death. All you have is an invisible thread. Is it enough?Adapted from Life After Death: The Burden of Proof, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2006).
