The human spirit exists as a part of God. Since all that exists is of God, and our
spirits are themselves parts of the Divine order that they cannot exist apart
from God in their natural state. Thus
human spirit themselves exist as parts of God's Spirit or the Holy Spirit. Each is like a thread or threads of a
tapestry, or notes of a vast score. So
then it is impossible for a human spirit to exist at all independently of
God. How is it then that humans become
corrupt, if they cannot exist apart from God?
Nothing is corrupted; corruption in the idea of something good somehow
becoming something evil is impossible, for evil itself does not exist, it is
but a lack of good. Each soul
reflects different attributes of God's nature, just as different people do the
same. Though God's nature is singular
though composed of many complex parts, a unity of harmony, certain elements can
be brought together into interlocking patterns which can exist independently to
some extent, or moreso than others; they are directly
concerned with each others, as a part of a picture i.e. a picture of a certain
person is certainly a whole person in the painting though only a part of the
painting. Individual souls are like
collections of elements that compliment each other; imagine that the Spirit of
God is like the periodic table of the elements, except that all of the elements
work together in harmony to create one whole.
But of course they can also form different compounds. This is similar to the human soul, it is like
a compound. God is all things, and the
human soul is a piece of certain parts of the whole that work together in a certain
harmony by themselves, though contributing absolutely to the whole. Corruption thus occurs when part is taken
away so that the other parts cannot contribute to the whole as they were
created to contribute. It lacks a vital
link; indeed all links are vital. It is
like taking out the note from a particular harmonic line. The human soul then is not as it was
created. Nothing was separated from God,
but rather the human being lost a particular attribute to itself that is rooted
in God; the human is no longer whole.
But the human still has the same soul and body most likely, its spirit
however is lacking, and thus its soul and body have been separated from
God. Perhaps then humans can exist
independently of God in soul and body, though this is not entirely
possible. Perhaps the person does not
exist independently of all, but all is One and thus the soul and body are
composed of God due to pantheistic monism; all is God. But the human is no longer whole, though God
is still whole. This also explains
marriage in part; two persons whose harmonies complement each other
particularly well are brought together to as one, or rather they always were
one in the Spirit of God but not in the realities of soul and body.
