All of the human capacities once attributed to the mind or soul are now being fruitfully studied as processes involving the brain, the rest of the nervous system and other bodily systems. Can we reduce the whole of our being into an array of neurons since mere nerve cells themselves may not comprehend the whole of what we experience and what we do? Yes truly we are clay but having a fire within. It is that heat of life that we are trying to understand and we realise that the clay itself is pyrogenic or biogenic. Meeting with the informations available from modern sciences it is a must to day to search for the deeper possibilities of matter. Based on such a reality alone we can understand our souls today. Keeping them in parallel with the neurological researches, we are trying neither to update nor to throw away our concept of soul but we are trying to absorb deepening meaning which our traditional soul must have been giving us, a deep meaning of relationality. It is not that the soul makes us capable of relating but soul is that capacity to relate. When did God breathe His life into the live dust seeing that humans were capable of holding that breath? Throughout the natural process of evolution in genetic, neurological and cognitive levels that humans underwent it was God’s breath that has been shaping them. So to identify a particular moment of transition to spiritual seems impossible. But we are sure that God breathes His Life into human being and He/She continues to become human being to its fullness of living. God in creating humanity made people with whom to interact and to breathe God’s life as we together make up one body. So our spirituality also concerns our relations to the natural world, our relations to other people, and finally our relation to our natural make-up (our proper acceptance of our limitations,including suffering)
