Witnesses of Consciousness

"We are who we were" - Anthony Hopkins,
in the film, La Amistad.


Our bodies are vassals of our souls,
in this journey we call life. Bodies return
to nothingness in decay and burning,
but not the souls.

Souls are eternal….
The souls keep on inhabiting new bodies
in every rebirth, in diverse cultures
and races, seeing history unfold
before their eyes!

We are part of God;
God is the Supreme Soul.
Our souls keep yearning to return to God,
who is our Source.

When you realize that you are One with Nature,
you will become Enlightened.
You will never be reborn again.
You will return to God,
and become part of Him once again.
You will have witnessed your own consciousness!

Themed on the Question: "Why is it necessary that Soul consciousness be achieved while in the physical body? Is this the purpose of our souls being encased in a physical body?"
