The Soul: Living Rooms, Television Sets and Reporters (the union, pt 3 of 4)

 (Continuation of  The Soul: Living Rooms, Television Sets and Reporters; pt 1: the body; pt 2: the soul)

One can agree that the soul wants to get out of time, because basically, it is a hassle, the soul needs a translator and it is stuck in a foreign dimension. With this soul trapped here in time, one assumes the soul wants to get out. This is where nirvana and eastern spiritually appears.

Nirvana is ultimate balance and transcendence from the physical world. So my theory is, the soul is constantly trying to escape the body, but there are not many available moments.

Since time is a constant, the soul is constantly affronted by time. The point of interest comes during the experience of death. At the exact moment of demise, the physical body, constrained by time, dies, so only the identities of consciousness and the soul are present. In this second, it is consciousness which perceives the moment of death; where the body that was trapped by time is no longer in existence. At this moment, consciousness must relay the message to the soul (since the soul is completely oblivious of time). If a human is aware of this moment, the soul is able to recognize the freedom from the capsule of the body and transcend out of time.

This does not happen very often however because there are still millions of souls roaming throughout our universe. If consciousness is unable to comprehend the moment of freedom, the soul will be ignorant of being unchained, so rather than transcending into eternity, consciousness will transmit time to the soul and rather than freeing itself, the soul will jump to another body encased by time.

In this way the cycle continues.

Through looking at this concept, the idea of karma comes to mind. Karma interprets these same theories in relation to nirvana, ergo; one has to break out of the karma cycle in order to achieve transcendence. So why an eternal God would create the soul in his realm but banish it to a universe of time becomes the question of choice.
