The fundamental concept of what we are as humans.

Even though we see ourselves as physical beings in a material world, we constant find more and more sources of information telling us that we may be energy or that we are just going through trials to eventually go to heaven or hell. I want people to engage one another in conversation because this really is a topic that we tend to avoid in our waking lives. What are we?

In this universe, everything is ultimately energy. True, we do avoid this topic in our waking lives, because of materialism and the narrow-mindedness of society. But, it is, without doubt, a very interesting question, and one we ought to attempt to answer as well as we can.
My guess is, we are energy which has been endowed with the gift of consciousness, entombed in a physical body so as to fulfill our destinies on Earth, and to learn the lessons meant for us here.

Really? That's new.
But I do quite agree with you. Thinking about it, one could conclude that if we, as part of this universe, have our own consciousness, then it makes sense to postulate that other parts of the universe do, too.
Hmmm.. I guess we could even go so far as to say that even the whole universe just might be conscious, in ways different, and probably superior to ours.

I'm also interested with such topic because thinking about our humanity mystifies me.
I had read somewhere that we are a soul with a body and not a body with soul so what we must take more care is our soul. The law of the Universe is simple, it is doing good and loving unconditionally for the greatness of our spirit.

I agree with you but the problem comes down to experience. Its comes down to "have you as an individual experienced this for yourself?

We can experience the reality that we have souls through astral projection, but astral projection can only be done with proper state of mind and practice. Sometimes unknowingly we are experiencing astral projection and we thought that we are just dreaming and I had experienced it too.
