Is the Soul an Exotic Matter?

The question of whether the soul is an exotic matter has intrigued scientists, philosophers, and spiritual practitioners alike. In my opinion, it is indeed an exotic matter, but not in the conventional scientific sense. Instead, it is an ethereal, higher form of energy that escapes the limitations of our known physical laws.

The Pioneering Work of Dr. Duncan MacDougall

Dr. Duncan MacDougall, an early 20th-century physician in Haverhill, Massachusetts, sought to measure the mass lost by a human when the soul departed the body at death. He attempted to measure the mass change of six patients at the moment of death. The results from his first subject were the most accurate, with the loss of about 2 grams at the moment of death.

The strange aspect of this is that if the soul is not standard matter, why does it have such significant mass? This question challenges our understanding of the nature of the soul and its relationship with mass and energy.

The Soul as a Form of Higher Consciousness

Despite Dr. MacDougall's intriguing findings, the concept of soul as energy is more aligned with esoteric beliefs than modern science. In esoteric philosophy, the soul is not exotic matter but rather a higher form of consciousness or higher energy. The soul is the fundamental tone of universal love, making it distinct from the material realm.

The Continuum of Spirit-Matter

Matter can be thought of as crystallized energy. In esoteric terms, matter is defined as spirit on the lowest plane of existence, while spirit is defined as matter on the highest plane. This implies a single continuum of Spirit-Matter. Within this continuum, there are many fine gradations between the highest spirit and the lowest matter. Higher planes are closer to the spiritual, while lower ones are closer to physical matter.

The Soul and Exotic Matter

The soul is not exotic matter in the modern scientific sense. It exists on a much higher plane than any matter or etherealized form of matter that modern science can postulate or understand. In esoteric philosophy, matter is derived from or crystallized from spirit, not the other way around. Thus, it is spirit or higher energy that causes matter, not vice versa.

Conclusion: Embracing the Higher Energy of the Soul

In summary, the soul, while weighing mass similar to matter, is neither standard matter nor exotic matter in the modern scientific sense. It is a higher form of energy that transcends our physical understanding. By embracing the concept of higher energy and consciousness, we can better comprehend the nature of the soul and its profound impact on our lives.

Understanding and exploring the nature of the soul can lead to a deeper connection with ourselves and the universe. As we continue to explore the mysteries of life, let us embrace the higher energy that defines the soul.
