The differences between the domain of the soul and that of the mind are very similar to the differences found between The Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The Theory of Relativity concerns itself with most of the observable universe: things like a pebble on a beach, planets and moons, and galaxies. Conversely, Quantum Mechanics concerns with the subatomic universe, where things are so small that mass is indistinguishable from energy, and that mass and energy freely transforms from one to the other continuously.
In the world of Relativity all realities are relative...depending on the locations of their observers. There is no absolute. Everything exists, moves, and dies relative to something else. All physical properties (mass, speed, acceleration, etc) are only measurable once a point of observation has been selected. Before Relativity, a physical property of an object was thought to be absolute. The idea that a single object could have a limitless number of possible realities depending on where it was being observed was unimaginable.
Quantum Mechanics was born because Relativity could not explain what was happening in the subatomic world. The subatomic particles were behaving differently depending on who was doing the observing...despite the fact that all the observers were observing in the same location!
What was the core principle that gives us the very definition of reality in one plane of existence was completely nonsensical in another. Unlike the macroscopic world, the subatomic world has something that the macroscopic world lacks...an element of absoluteness...pure energy...or pure potential. This pure potential can manifest itself into different realities depending on who is doing the observing.
Similarly, the mind and the spirit appears to live side by side but they are actually on two separate planes of realities. The mind exists solely in the realm of relativity. The mind is the primary tool of the created-self (the Ego) in the construction of its reality. Like the "realities" set forth by the Theory of Relativity, the mind defines everything from its unique point-of-perspective. The mind concerns only about where it is in relation to everything else.
The soul, on the other hand, exists as an absolute. It is the who that causes pure creations in those subatomic experiments. It does not need something else to which it must compare itself. Its reality is not relative but absolute. It is the authentic-Self
All souls are ultimately bound to every other souls, stretching all the way back to the moment of the Big Bang. A person's soul is what links him to everything else in the Universe. This is the essence of a person's authentic-self, aka his soul. Because the soul is linked to everything else in the Universe, it is therefore linked to God. The authentic Self, the soul, is simply...God.
