Good teaching would help me to understand not that I have a soul, but that I am a soul, and I exist for a brief moment in a human biological instrument,* a human body.
The soul is the only thing that exists before and after our existence, hence when I say “I am” the soul is what makes most sense. What I wonder, however, is if the Self is indeed the soul on itself or the soul connected to this existence, although I lean more towards that it’s the soul itself.
