To me, the soul is co-flowing since “forever” with all the other souls. So, It has seen everything, it has every experience possible enclosed. That’s why we say we have the knowledge within. It is complete, full. There’s nothing missing there, there’s no need at all. It doesn’t need anything.
Every embodiment, is a unification of the non-material/divine part (soul) with a material part (body). The material part doesn’t remember anything than the memories that creates during the earthly life. But, is also encloses the “data” of the soul. The soul has always the knowledge here, “exposed”, and it’s up to us to “capture” it; the signals, the “messages”.

So, to me, our struggle and challenge is to widen our perception to the range of the soul, and realize (really, not only because we read it somewhere) our divinity. This way, the body/material part isn’t demonized, it isn’t of a lower value, because it contributes to that realization. It also contributes to the realization that death is not the end of everything. It is just the end of this specific body.

During every embodiment, a little bit more of the widening is taking place, and “we” reach wider levels of conscience. The Destiny of humanity is to realize its divinity, and be alchemized into the next level of existence. (And, to use this divinity wisely, not for having control over the others)

So, we don’t need to feed the soul, we need to be fed by it. We need to “download” the knowledge and bring it to the world, instead of absorbing the material that the five senses gives us from the world. From within to out there, not vice versa.

Of course, this is my point of view, according to my internal and external experiences, and it’s here just for others to search it. I don’t do preaching.
