The body enhances the soul.

It is the body that enhances the development of the soul. That is the primary relationship of body and soul. It is not the purpose of the soul to enhance the body. The body may be the house, but the soul is the content. It is content which is of the highest importance.

For those souls who find it difficult to let go of their human experience, it is frequently the case that the human form of life was totally devoted to the physical life to the exclusion of any recognition of a spiritual existence. That influence carries forward, leaving its mark on the soul as it crosses over to our sphere of life. It is for you while you are in human form to continually recognize the importance of your spiritual growth, to recognize that it is indeed the spirit that endures. Living a life with such recognition enables the soul to welcome its new life rather than to mourn the loss of its old life.
