Hendrix had more “Soul” in his music than Bieber does. James Brown was the “Godfather of Soul” music. He could sing and dance so well, Fred Astaire admired him!
What is a Soul?
The soul is the self, the “I” that inhabits the body and acts through it. Without the soul, the body is like a light bulb without electricity, a computer without the software, a space suit with no astronaut inside. With the introduction of the soul, the body acquires life, sight and hearing, thought and speech, intelligence and emotions, will and desire, personality and identity.
What is a Spirit?
The soul and the spirit are not the same. The body needs the spirit in much the same way as a radio needs electricity—in order to function. To illustrate this further, think of a portable radio. When you put batteries in a portable radio and turn it on, the electricity stored in the batteries brings the radio to life, so to speak. Without batteries, however, the radio is dead. So is another kind of radio when it is unplugged from an electric outlet. Similarly, the spirit is the force that brings our body to life.
In the sense of a computer, the soul is the operating system and the spirit is the electricity. Hendrix and Brown as talented as they were, their souls expressed the full potential or energy of their spirits.
People say the same about James Brown. Mr. Brown was a minister, by the way. Bieber and Astaire being also talented, their souls don’t express their spirit strongly enough. (I’m just saying.)
As magickans, we must use our will which is an extension of our soul, to tap into our spiritual power. This as we know, is easier said than done. “The spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak.”
Hendrix, Brown, and yes, Astaire’s spirits are strong because they had soul. They were “super badd”!
I don’t know else to explain it.
