i think there is a danger in getting so caught up in the theory that it can take over from the practice, leading one down a spiritual cul-de-sac.

Obviously i have no idea in the earth has a soul. Since i beleive 'God' to be 'Supreme Consciousness' and infinite, therefore everything (including space and Earth) is therefore 'God'. Therefore Earth would be a part of 'God' in the same way we are, etc etc.

Im not sure, form my point of view, if that brings me any further forward spiritually. perhpas I have spent too much time listening to people engage in these sort of discussions and come to the conclusion they would have been better off meditating (or gardening, or washing up, or helping someone else)
