The [[morontia]] [[soul]] is the [[child]] of the [[universe]] and may be really known only through [[cosmic]] [[insight]] and [[spiritual]] [[discovery]].

111:0.2 The [[concept]] of a [[soul]] and of an [http://books.google.com/books?id=SIZ2tsv7qAQC&dq=indwelling+spirit&source=gbs_navlinks_s indwelling spirit] is not new to [[Urantia]]; it has frequently appeared in the various [[systems]] of [[planetary]] [[beliefs]]. Many of the [[Oriental]] as well as some of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occidental] [[faiths]] have [[perceived]] that man is [[divine]] in [[heritage]] as well as human in [[inheritance]]. The [[feeling]] of the inner [[presence]] in addition to the external [[omnipresence]] of [[Deity]] has long formed a part of many Urantian religions. Men have long believed that there is something growing within the [[human]] [[nature]], something [[vital]] that is destined to [[endure]] beyond the short span of [[temporal]] life.

111:0.3 Before [[man]] realized that his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:3._THE_EVOLVING_SOUL evolving soul] was fathered by a [[divine]] [[spirit]], it was thought to reside in different [[physical]] organs—the eye, liver, kidney, [[heart]], and later, the [[brain]]. The [[savage]] [[associated]] the [[soul]] with blood, [[breath]], [[shadows]] and with [[reflections]] of the [[self]] in [[water]].

111:0.4 In the [[conception]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%80tman_%28Hinduism%29 atman] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hindu] teachers really approximated an [[appreciation]] of the [[nature]] and [[presence]] of the [[Adjuster]], but they failed to distinguish the copresence of the evolving and potentially [[immortal]] [[soul]]. The [[Chinese]], however, [[recognized]] two aspects of a [[human being]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang yang and the yin], the [[soul]] and the [[spirit]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_religion Egyptians] and many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_traditional_religion African] [[tribes]] also believed in two factors, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul ka and the ba]; the [[soul]] was not usually believed to be pre-existent, only the [[spirit]].

111:0.6 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ka_.28spirit.29 ka] was thought to be a superior [[spirit]] [[genius]] which [[desired]] to [[guide]] the [[associated]] [[mortal]] [[soul]] into the better paths of [[temporal]] living but more especially to [[influence]] the fortunes of the [[human]] subject in the hereafter. When an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ka_.28life_force.29 Egyptian] of this period died, it was expected that his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ka_.28spirit.29 ka] would be waiting for him on the other side of the Great River. At first, only [[kings]] were supposed to have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ka_.28spirit.29 ka]s, but presently all [[righteous]] men were believed to [[possess]] them. One Egyptian ruler, speaking of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_soul#Ka_.28spirit.29 ka] within his [[heart]], said: "I did not disregard its [[speech]]; I feared to transgress its [[guidance]]. I prospered thereby greatly; I was thus successful by [[reason]] of that which it caused me to do; I was distinguished by its [[guidance]]." Many believed that the ka was " an [[oracle]] from [[God]] in everybody. "Many believed that they were to "spend [[eternity]] in [[gladness]] of [[heart]] in the [[favor]] of the God that is in you.

111:0.7 Every [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78 race] of evolving [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] has a [[word]] equivalent to the [[concept]] of [[soul]]. Many [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:1._PRIMITIVE_MAN primitive peoples] believed the [[soul]] looked out upon the world through human eyes; therefore did they so cravenly [[fear]] the malevolence of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_eye evil eye]. They have long believed that "the spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord. " The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigveda Rig-Veda] says: "My [[mind]] speaks to my [[heart]]."
