I believe the greatest misconception we have in this life is that our soul (spirit) is something that is trapped inside our body and only escapes when we die. Whereas the truth is that this body is simply an avatar our spirit uses to navigate this limited version of reality. It is merely a learning vehicle that at the end of this experience the soul sloughs off like so much dead skin. The body is within the soul and is just a tool used to gather and sort the experiences we need to move on.
