Soul: Some sources do not consider the Soul to be pure essence. These say that the Soul also carries things from life like memories and karma. However, the Soul is still seen as containing pure essence and as being connected to a Presence called Spirit, Truth, God, Great Mystery, or other names. For purposes of this workshop, we use the word Soul to mean our pure essence recognizing that it may include more than that. We also see the soul as what we bring into this world and what we take when we leave.

Dimensions: We are connected to many dimensions. Some we are aware of, and some we are not. Examples of dimensions are the Physical, the Mental, and the Spiritual. What happens on one dimension can affect other dimensions through us and because of us.

Spiritual Energy: Each one of us has an energy that animates our physical being. Sometimes this is called the life force. We have chosen to call this spiritual energy and to consider that this comes from Spirit.

Spirit: The source of Spiritual Energy. When the energy is called the life source, then Spirit is called the Universal Life Source. This could be called God, the Creator, Source, etc. Or it could be considered as a part of God, etc.

This is an opportunity to get caught in the words. There are many traditions with different views of GOD (and some that have no view of GOD or believe that GOD does not exist). Instead of having to agree on a view of the source of the energy, we wish only to accept that there is a source and that we have chosen to call this Spirit.
