聽神談【靈魂(soul)和靈(spirit)有何差別？】
尼爾：靈魂（soul）和靈（spirit）有什麼差別？兩者不一樣嗎？
你們的靈魂是聖靈（Divine Spirit）的個別化，聖靈即是一切萬有（All There Is）。靈魂是宇宙生命能量在某一特定時空以某一特定的頻率在振動的「小局部性聚焦」。此能量以如此高的特定頻率在振動，它是宇宙生命能量中的一個微小流溢（Singular Outflow of Universal Life），你們可以用英文來縮寫成S.O.U.L.。
靈魂使用它本身的其它部分——即它可以吸收運用宇宙的生命能量，而它自己也是其中的一部分——做爲三種工具之一，來塑造某一特定經驗。這個宇宙生命能量，有時也被稱爲靈（spirit）。其它兩項工具則是身體和心智。
你們的靈魂即「你是誰」(Your soul is “who you are”.）。你們的身體和心智則用來在相對領域(the Realm of the Relative)中體驗「你是誰」的工具。
你們靈魂的原鄉是在絕對領域 (the Realm of the Absolute)，聖靈就居於其中。你們的靈魂現在活在相對領域，而且是在「返鄉」之旅途中。當它返回原鄉(returns home)時，會再次與其本身的其它部分合一。也就是說，它會再次地與聖靈融合為一，再次成為一體的靈(One Spirit)。
這個融合爲一體，在某些東方的神秘傳統中稱爲了「三摩地」(Samadhi，或稱「三昧」)。即使靈魂是在相對領域仍具有身體和心智的時候，這種境界也可以達成，不過一般而言這種體驗非常短暫。靈魂也可以離開身體與心智，以便恢復和重新强化能量(refresh and reenergize)，這情況發生在你們稱爲「睡眠」的時候。最後，靈魂可以和宇宙能量結合，與聖靈合一而延續非常久，非常長期的時間，這情況發生在你們稱爲「死亡」的時候。
當然其實並無所謂的「死亡」。死亡只是個名稱，是形容「你們的靈魂將你們的身體和心智的能量，質變轉化為與一切萬有合一的過程」的經驗。
就此而言，靈魂是這個無盡循環的一部分。在重新體驗了三摩地的極樂至福，以及對一體的終極了悟之後，此靈魂會再次從一切萬有浮出，控制調節其振動頻率並質變轉化其能量，而在某一個你們會稱爲「時空連續體」的局部點上，重回物質實相。
經由這樣「神性體驗自己」的無止境循環(never-ending cycle of Divinity Experiencing Itself)，在祂最近的循環旅途中，産生了被稱爲「你」的存在。

Neale: What is the difference between soul and spirit? Is there a difference?
Your soul is the individuation of the Divine Spirit, which is All There Is. The soul is the universal life energy, focused and localized and vibrating at a particular frequency in one specific time and space. Energy vibrating in such a highly specific way is a Singular Outflow of Universal Life. You may abbreviate that in English as S.O.U.L.
The soul uses the rest of Itself—that is, it draws upon the Energy of Universal Life, of which it is a part—as one of three tools with which to fashion a particular experience. The Energy of Universal Life is sometimes called the spirit. The other tools are the body and the mind.
Your soul is who you are. Your body and your mind are what you use to experience who you are in the Realm of the Relative.
The home of your soul is in the Realm of the Absolute, where Divine Spirit dwells. Your soul is now living in the Realm of the Relative, and is on a journey home. When it returns home, it joins once again with the Rest of Itself. That is, it reunites with Divine Spirit, fusing with It to become One Spirit once again.
This fusing into One is called, in some Eastern mystical traditions, samadhi. It can be achieved even when the soul is in the Realm of the Rela- tive, with a body and a mind, although the experience is generally very brief. The soul can also leave the body and the mind in order to refresh and reenergize. This is done during the period that you call sleep. Finally, the soul can fuse with its Universal Energy, becoming One with Divine Spirit, for very long, extended periods. This is what occurs at the moment that you call death.
Of course, there is no such thing as death. Death is simply the name you have given to the experience of your soul transmuting the energy of your body and your mind as it reunites with the All In All.
This, the soul does as part of an endless cycle. Then, having reexperienced the bliss of samadhi and the ultimate Knowing of Oneness, the soul emerges once more from the All, controlling and regulating its vibration and transmuting its energy at a localized point on what you would refer to as the Space-Time Continuum.
Its most recent journey through this never-ending cycle of Divinity Experiencing Itself produced the Being that you call “you.”
