    About this ebook

    Adventures of the Souls embeds the reader into the minds and experiences of various souls. The personal thoughts, feelings, emotions, even actions are consciously shared as each soul encounters specific incidents in their Life Experiences. And the reader is right there!

    The experiences of the soul are innumerable and phenomenal:

    • From the moment that the soul is dispatched from the Realm of the Presence of God

    • To the moment that it is conceived in the womb of its mother

    • Throughout that period of development in the womb

    • To the birthing experience

    • To the developmental periods outside the womb

    • To those encounters it has with itself

    • To those encounters with other souls

    • Through its own personal and internal struggles

    • To those interactions it has with other souls

    • From those personal life impacting decisions

    • To those resultant consequences!

    In all of these Adventures the soul encounters many challenging, sobering, and moments which not only affects its own future, but they also impact other souls!

    And the reader is right there to experience and engage in self-reflection and introspection of those soulful adventures!

      Introduction

      One of the most awesome and sobering statements in the Bible highlights the soul: and man became a living soul.

      Biblicists, theologians, psychologists, physicians, poets, lovers, and fools have all made noted explanations, definitions, and references to the soul. For whatever reasons, those references to the soul always seem to focus on that creature called man. Of all the awesome and magnificent things that happened in the creation, of all the awesome and magnificent creatures that God created, only to man was this acclamation and affirmation made,

      And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life:

      and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7)

      Only to man was there a personal inclusion of the essence of God in the nature of all that which God created.

      The biblical terms that refer to the soul, identify certain qualities and characteristics that give insight to the awesome essence of a soul. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew term for soul—nephesh—refers to the life principle of a human being. It is distinguished from the body, but is inclusive of it—it was an animated body. It is not the same as the spirit, yet it includes the workings of the spirit. The Hebrew concept of nephesh expresses the ideas of the totality of the living being, the self, the person—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

      In the New Testament, the Greek term psuche
