Soul

The primeval intelligence of the human soul and the ecosystem within which it operates have long remained secret, their deeper mysteries overlooked, obfuscated, or simply misunderstood. In Soul: A Modern Guide to Evolving in a Conscious Universe, Lara van Zuydam clarifies and democratizes key esoteric information by unpacking the concept of the human soul at a granular level and explaining how it interacts with the other spiritual layers that make up a human being. Soul comprehensively and concretely introduces the soul, from describing what it is to why it is currently housed in a human body, and explains the purpose of incarnation in a challenging world. Also included is a discussion on other spiritual beings, with a discussion on how the modern fixation on angels and other benevolent beings has cultivated a skewed perception of spiritual entities. The author draws on her own experiences, the philosophical landscape articulated by the ancients, and also explores some of the more abstruse concepts discussed by influential mystic Alice A. Bailey.
