00Would someone be so inclined to assist me in interpreting this? In a way its almost contradictory.02br
02br
00Essence is defined as "the attribute (or set of attributes) that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is."02br
02br
00While Soul is defined as "the ethereal substance — spirit (Hebrew:rooah or nefesh) — particular to a unique living being. Such traditions often consider the soul both immortal and innately aware of its immortal nature, as well as the true basis for sentience in each living being." 02br
02br
00But what really throws things for a loop is this definition for Soul... "The Soul is the Essence of self, the part of self that exist after death, and during after life separate from the physical vessel, also the soul exists with the spirit and body in a trinity during life."02br
