Hi Jon,

I went through a similar existential crisis. I have found answers. Rather detailed. If you want to know what is a “soul” or rather, what is “Reality”, what is “True”, I invite you to read these few articles:

Of course, you’re welcome to explore the “my spiritual journey” series, but it’s quite lengthy, even more so than your article! :-)
