Overview

The Human Soul is a topic that continues to vex both theologians and medical professionals and researchers alike. According to Scholastic approaches, the Soul as the substantial form of the body, 'substantial meaning a first created principle of being that is intrinsically independent of the body for its existence and for some of its more advanced operations. Now once again, given the Scholastic interpretation of the nature of the Human Soul, that is the Human Soul is: 1) Spiritual, 2) Naturally immortal, 3) Incorruptible per addends and per se, 4) Simple, 5) Unextended, 6) Without shape or size, 7) Non-material, 8) Non-corporeal, 9) Rational, 10) Free, 11) A first created principle, 12) An essence or a being which exist per se, 13) Independent of the body for its existence and to some extent its operations in this life, 14) The substantial form of the body in the Ancient Greek philosophical sense of the word, 15) Directly created by God, 16) Immediately created by God, and if I am not mistaken, 17) Multiple meaning that it is completely and totally present and united to every portion of the Human body that is alive, we have much grounding through the use of natural reasoning that the Human Soul is naturally immortal and naturally indestructible. In all, we have at least the above 17 transcendent dignities of the Human Soul if Saint Thomas Aquinas is to be believed. But how might we ask is the Soul the substantial form of the body? One way to answer this question is to consider some traditional Church mindset that the Soul is completely and fully present, even united to, every portion of the human body that is alive. This, means that every aspect of the Human Soul from its substantiality, semi-substantiality, and accidentiality is fully present in every differential portion of the human body that is alive. In a sense, this union ironically existentially multiplies the Soul. The great irony in all of this is that the Human Soul being spiritual and immortal is existentially amplified by being first created in uniform to the body it is united to retains this existential amplification after bodily death and its separation from the body at death. This is a rational assertion because each modification of the Soul in substance, semi-substance or faculty-wise, and in accidentiality is retained as stored information embodied in the existence of the Human Souls of the deceased. I'd like to propose that at the very least, each Human Soul is thus amplified existentially in the following locations within each living portion of the Human Body including individual, the atoms, molecules, fermions, gluons points of concentrated presence or existential light of the multiply present human soul. I hope you will enjoy this volume and the many additional volumes in this series that will be forthcoming. I hope you will enjoy my musings on the nature of the Human Soul in the months, years, and decades ahead. Up to now, all I have written about the Human Soul is perhaps empty straw.
