In Pansophy, soul denotes the profound essence of a structure, beneath superficial appearances, seen and felt within the Cosmic Psyche, which is inaccessible to our physical senses.

Hence, soul is not an anthropocentric concept. Indeed, as the underlying structure of the Cosmos is a multidimensional network of hierarchical relationships, the Divine Soul is Stillness, Presence, or Love, while the Cosmic Soul is Wholeness, as Totality. Unifying these two definitions, Soul is Essence.

Ultimately, even these distinctions cease to exist, as we sense the ineffable indivisibility of the Cosmos, where the experiencer disappears as an apparently separate being, as the Cosmic Identity indicates.

As in traditional esoteric teachings, humans are a microcosm of this macrocosm. In humans, soul thus denotes ‘the vital principle of our beings’, which determine our unique essential human qualities throughout our lives. These correspond to anima and psychē in Latin and Greek, respectively, manifesting as Genius and Daimon, respectively, as inner guiding spirits.

Sadly, because of the cognitive and experiential split between humanity and the Divine, opened up at least five to six thousand years ago, many humans have become separated from our Immortal Ground of Being, giving rise to the existential crisis humanity faces today, as we unknowingly accelerate towards our extinction as a species.
