BRS - 5 - The Soul

...And I suppose that makes sense.  I am always thinking about the things of the Spirit and invariably, I end up talking about it with people.  I usually do so carefully, half-expecting to discover that those around me have long ago stopped thinking about the Soul, but they haven't.  Even in the many of the most worldly sorts, I find that it's on their minds and that they are willing to talk about it so long as you can respect their views on the subject. 

Another good sign is the movie I watched the other night.  It was called Soul by Disney.  It's about a guy who dies and wants to return to his body.  The whole show surrounds the themes of life before and after death, and it takes for granted the idea that the Spirit exists independent of the body.  That surprised me.  Obviously, Disney believed there was a market for such a movie.  Otherwise they wouldn't have made it.  

And of course, just because many of us are thinking about it doesn't mean that we see eye to eye or that the world is a good place.  It just means that we can start to have a conversation.  Some of us can anyway.  There are those who can't stand anything that smacks of Religion or Spirituality.   And they may have to wait.
