The Living Soul of Consciousness

<p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>So what does it mean to be a living soul? Has anyone ever seen one? And surprising as it may be to those with the surety of scientific investigation no one has ever seen consciousness either. However much they both are investigated. However much they both are the subject of speculation. Always and ever invisible. Maybe the closest we can come to a possible explanation can be found in what Plotinus wrote in the second century CE: We aren't separated from spirit we are in it. Unlike Hofer's other writing this little book isn't an argument for the existence of God. What is being documented is humanity's search for and embrace of what we know but cannot physically see.</span></p><ul><li><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>From Homo sapiens inspired to walk out of Africa 70000 years ago to those who constructed a place of worship 11600 years ago</span></li><li><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>From a pot-bound rationalistic interpretation of religion to the inspiring invisibility of numinous awe</span></li><li><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>From the 20th-century brain-bound search for consciousness to the 21st-century consciousness research that opens the door to its invisibility</span></li></ul><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Hofer refers to this invisible place as our living soul.
