If the physicist designs an experiment to prove that an electron is a particle the experiment will confirm the hypothesis. If the physicist designs an experiment to prove that an electron is a wave the experiment will confirm that apparently contradictory hypothesis. Similarly people tend to behave as if they did or did not have a soul depending upon the presupposition of their associate. People who are convinced that nobody has soul will thus have their presupposition confirmed; just as will those who are convinced that people do have soul. Thus, whether or not people have soul is a question which cannot be answered by traditional objective analysis, it is not a scientific question of the usual sort. Soul becomes apparent only in the context of intimate personal relationships which are reciprocally open and non-manipulative. Soul is not part of an objective relationship. Soul is not the object of analysis. Soul is revealed in whole relationships. Soul is an aspect of a whole personal relationship, not a part of an isolated person. An isolated person is not a whole person. Soul is an aspect of whole persons within intimate personal relationship. In the absence of intimacy there cannot be personal wholeness. Soul will not be found by alienated scientists objectively analyzing alienated persons. Soul is known only through participation which transcends the methodology of objective research and analysis. Soul does not belong to a person. A person cannot possess or save their soul, because it is not theirs; it is an aspect of intimate relationships with other people. That which does not exist apart from relationships between people, cannot belong to any isolated person. Soul is an aspect of relationships, not a part of a person. Soul is not saved from Hell for an eternIty in Heaven after death. Soul is known in the Eternal Now of the Kingdom of Heaven which is at hand as we touch each other with love. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
