The idea or theory of the soul is an interesting one. A spiritual fire that gives purpose or connection. I have been toying with this idea lately. I do believe in souls. Rather, I choose to believe in souls. If I choose to believe I must define the bounds in which to believe. What has a soul and what doesn't? Where is the line? I pondered this while taking my dog on a walk around our backyard. As I watched her exist in this fenced in bubble, I saw her make decisions and think to an extent. Surely, she has to have a soul. Further we descend. Do insects have souls? Do ants? An ant reacts based on instinct and response to pheromones which are naturally excreted when the are under certain circumstances. Would the hivemind be a soul rather than the ant? Surely not. In this moment, which I later go back on, I thought that certain creatures must be "of the Earth" and others have souls. Ants would be an example of a creature of the Earth, while a dog has a soul. I still loomed over this thought for several weeks. I didn't sit well with me that there was still this cutoff. Life tends to get in the way and these thoughts disappeared into the back of my mind. That was until I took a journey into my subconscious.

Several weeks later, I took a journey into my subconscious and saw a vision. In this vision, I saw many masses of pure energy across the Earth. These masses of energy represented the consciousness present in all humans. From the ground, cells emitted around each mass. The cells slowly creeped up each energy mass and engulfed until each mass was covered. The light radiating from the pure energy could still be seen through the cells. Upon reflecting, I realized that we are all "of the Earth" and the energy that represented the consciousness inside each person is our soul.
