A Divine Creation

Soul,
a divine creation,
a single undivided essence,
with neither beginning nor ending,
associated with the body at conception.

In its association with the body
the soul is given a choice
between opposites,
while receiving an education
and developing its God given attributes.

When the body dies
the soul ascends
into the spiritual world.

The soul takes with it the positive qualities,
that it developed
during it so journey in matter.

Positive qualities--
such as
love, joy, faith, hope, etc--
aid the soul
in the world of the spirit.
