In our language, we still talk about “soul.” Soulmate, soul mission, soul music, soul food, a beautiful soul. Religions talk about soul and spirit. But we get confused when we are asked “what is that? A soul?” Is there something besides our reason? Or even besides our worldly existence, and is there any connection with it? It is a question that has been around for many thousands of years.

• Graves dating back thousands of years show that objects for an afterlife were given along for the soul. Or even soldiers and servants, made of stone or in the flesh! (Egypt/China).
• Animistic and shamanic movements believe in animating everything (from space, planets and stars to earthly things like nature/stones to ancestor energy).
• The ancient Greek philosophers talked about it (e.g. the Platonic concept of soul)
• Religions of e.g. Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism/tantric movements and Islam believe in a soul.
• Then science delved into deep inner predispositions to talents and personality and self-awareness.
• And from spiritual movements like the new-age movement come visions connected to science about 'connection' and contact with other dimensions (e.g. Joe Dispenza (Becoming Superhuman) in which you can contact other dimensions via kundalini/your pineal gland (also recognized in quantum physics).

We are all born with different traits. Different abilities or talents. Different situational challenges. But we are all unique! We can see this clearly in a family with multiple children. If you ask a mother, she will tell you that they are all her children, but all different. One may be very quiet, introverted, the other constantly wild, extroverted. One may be very talented in sports, making music or painting, the other not at all, but in other things like math or sports. Different DNA expressions or more?

You can look at Soul/Soulvoice in 2 ways:

1. Scientific

Soul as your personality: your hereditary disposition, and your (self) awareness and talents, through which you take on your unique learning experiences and social challenges, learn and grow (as a personality).

From your DNA your talents emerge, which are your strengths, but also your handicap/blind spot. Via duality and techniques such as core quadrants (Ofman) or The Work (Katie) you can automatically deduce the challenges you will encounter and overcome in your life. For example, for someone who is very good at controlling, letting go is likely to be a challenge. For a very compassionate person, setting boundaries. Or for someone who loves freedom to commit to things.
In summary, your personality or soul (unique core) is shaped by specific energy characteristics, your imprinted talents (and challenges), your inner wisdom, your experiences, and your (moral) choices and personal growth.

Your unique DNA expression is also called your “phenotype” by science: But how exactly DNA expression is activated and talents are formed science does not know (yet). According to the 7Qi philosophy, this happens through your Soul Qi. Your blueprint energy.

2. Philosophical, religious, spiritual

Soulvoice we see in the philosophical or spiritual/religious sense as spiritual (-ego) energy, connected or separated from the divine/the “All. It is your soul that programs your  uniqueness, and where you have the challenge, during your life, to overcome fear-based behavior and instead grow toward loving behavior. Your conscience and (moral) growth is incorporated into your soul-Qi, which thereby changes for better or worse and is judged accordingly in the afterlife.

If you can live love-based lives and uphold moral laws, then you (soul) may enter heaven. Christianity believes in a trinity: God/Jesus Christ/Holy Spirit who (condemns), but can also forgive your pitfall behavior, so that as a soul you may enter heaven. Advaita Vedanta also believes in growth from duality into non-duality, and fusion with the All. Buddhists in a soul growing and learning, and reincarnating (returning to earth) for as long as it takes to learn and grow, until Nirvana can be reached.

Your life path to use your Soulvoice, talents and uniqueness to learn and grow, and by turning your challenges into virtues and manifestations is called Dharma. The Way, soul mission or soul path.

Difference between the two points of view is:

• do you believe in something after this life or do you believe in nature and only this life itself?
• what conscience and moral standards do you integrate, or are your personal guidelines for functioning and developing
• religious laws / divine instructions or human-written laws and cultural precepts
• a purpose for this life or a purpose which is larger/broader than this life itself, worshiping God (or multiple Gods-Healing-Demon energies) and living by precepts for “returning” or “going” to something worth pursuing? In that case, meeting moral standards is a “retirement” for your afterlife.Simila-Qi that can be defined from both ways:

Similarities for Soulvoice:

• Both involve a life path with uniqueness/'individuality' (talents, character traits)
• With (self) awareness, conscience and moral goals you can '(see through) the related challenges
• This automatically creates and enables you to have unique learning and growth experiences.
• Growing from fear-based to love-based behavior can be seen as a universal [moral] development goal. And thus as an 'imprint' of every soul's mission. It has benefits that everyone ultimately strives for: health, sustainable life happiness, love, acceptance, expression, less suffering, and if you believe in more than this life: prevention of suffering after death, access to a/heaven, or fusion with Source, Brachman, the Creator, the divine, God).
