The Phenomenon of the Human Soul

Today we are talking about the phenomenon that is the human soul and I’d like to begin with an observation. As a species, we humans aren’t so good at dealing with things we cannot touch or measure, are we? I found a list on Listverse of the top ten images of invisible things. 

I’m struck with how many of them weren’t visible until technology caught up to the point we were able to capture these once thought invisible phenomenon. How is the soul any different? Chances are if you’re a listener, I’m preaching to the choir. But we are witnessing a time when doctors and scientists are becoming comfortable with the unseen, largely agreeing that the human conscience is real and that we are only now finding ways to document and study it further.

This episode will cover the inception of naming a soul, the search to define the soul, the science behind proving a soul exists, the dark night of the soul, and more!

Anxious about AI? Take two minutes to contact your local politician and ask them to tap the brakes on this technology. Still worried? Contact one of the orgs below and get involved.

But for today, hug your kid, cook food and really breathe in deep as it simmers, walk in nature, brush a cat, donate to the food bank, brew a cup of tea, or draw a five-minute portrait of your dog.
