The answer to the question - are there many souls or is there one soul? - is that all souls are one and that this one is not external but self. Self is the eternal one masking or perceiving itself as many selves, as many individuals, as many egos. Yet at any time; self is always one and oneself always is. Division or separation self imagines and diversity is self-perceived for companionship commonly known as Love. Love is the underwriting purpose of existence, of reality, of the wor(l)d, of the universe, for all these are Self; all is Self. Truth in nuce is Simple. There is only Oneself going through the eternal discovery that there is no division and that all diversity is Self-perceived for Companionship otherwise known as Love. It's all G-d. It's always about Love.
