Soul

When we say the soul of man, we mean the essense of man. Soul is not a thing in man. Is there something like, say, the soul of a stone? Yes, if we consider what is the essense of a stone. In the end, the essense of everything must be the same thing. Because the less coarse a thing is, the more pervasive it is and the most subtle of all things is the thing that prevades everywhere and that is the essense of everything and that is God. So everything is God - in its essense everything is because in essense there is nothing else.
