The soul is not a reified entity
| We can easily find references in all these mystical traditions to soul as a flow of consciousness, as a dynamic continuum of consciousness. Many understand that this flow is actually not a flow in time, but a dynamic unfoldment from the unseen world to the world of actuality.
| The soul reveals itself to be a flow of consciousness—a continuum of awareness that is aware of itself.

| Then again, there are some who might object that soul in the Western tradition is a reified entity. On the face of it, this is a valid objection for most ordinary people in the West use the notion of soul in a reified way. However, this is not how the soul is understood in the mystical traditions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam or even Hindu.
