Is Your Soul Conscious At This Time

To fully understand this question. I will use my grey matter to summon; to truly  ponder such a conundrum. I will do my best to transpose to others beliefs. Saint Francis of Assisi’s teaches me, “that it is better to understand than be understood.” Can I give truth to this controversial question?  First, I will dissect the question.                                          
                                         what is the question
                                          isolate any facets
                                         absorb all is known
     I break the query into two. Soul is first, the question begs me to define the word, as I believe. The word Souls first known use is prior to the twelfth century. Soul has vast and varied meanings. I define Soul to date as: The spiritual energy embodied in a human being, which serves as a true moral compass. Created by and connected to the Creator of the Universe,the Soul gives one an inner force possessing the ability for True sympathy, compassion and kindness for others.                                                                                                                                    
                                           one's Soul is alive
                                      passed on by pure energy
                                           not all have a Soul
	Conscious has as many definitions as Soul, thankfully more cohesive. Conscious is an adj. the word is of Latin origin, “concius” being derived from com+scire, which means to know. The word conscious, is much easier to clarify due to its precise Latin background and it is more concrete. If one is conscious, they are likely to notice, consider, and appraise as well as show concern and interest marked by strong feelings or notions.                                                               
                                          awake perceiving
                                    archaic sharing knowledge
                                       watchful understands
    I lack information to answer the question for sure. I can feel my Soul’s energy, I am capable of empathy, but I can't see it, I can't touch it, and I don't know if it sleeps. My Soul could be conscious right now! Nevertheless, it could be taking a nap. Instincts say YES...                                                                                                               Jill 5 ~ 17 ~ 2016 Is Your Soul conscious at this time?
