I see it all as one, let's say we are soulful beings, rather than we have a soul.
I disagree with diminishing the body to "just a body" and then placing the soul on a pedestal of divinity too. I see it all as divine, the soul, the body, life, and whatever is out there, places to travel, states of consciousness, perspectives, dimensions...

A "soulful being" is one who is connected with their true 'self' and everything around them.
A person's "soul" is the immortal essence or spirit of a human body distinct from their physical body.
It's not clear to me how your response answers the question in any way. Would you run that one by us again, please?

@swirlie soulful being, true self, soul, immortal essence, spirit, human body, there is a perception that sees it all as one, but I cannot explain it to you, it has to be experienced. It is as if you are a baby again and the world is more fluid, your body, the water, the food, your mother, they are all one movement that slowly as we grow to "human" perception, we make distinctions.
Think of sound, as you can listen to all there is, if you don't use your cognition, or name the sources, if you do not use your intellect, what do you hear... same with vision, if you stop functioning at this level of recognizing everything, as an artist sees sometimes the picture as a whole, they do not see a boat, the sea, they see blue, white.. it is a perception where you and I are not distinct either, but we share the same mind.
