Hi Tcharmok. The jury's out on my understanding also.
Yes, I guess you could say that the soul is a way of describing God. Pneuma, or the breath of life which God was purported to breath into our bodies could be that connecting 'force' that makes us all the same. We all need money to survive and get us things Robert. It's just the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money itlelf. I'm not into head games of who is right or wrong. I just think that God put each one of us in a spot in the universe where we could learn about the truth. The real truth and the relative one we each are in. The real truth over all and how it comes into each person's relative truth of their state of being. The workings of the laws are very interesting. Hope we can share that.
