Each soul comes into being at the moment of conception. The soul is the organizing principle around which the spirit, mind, and body are downloaded from materials outside it.
Souls differ from each other as do fingerprints. Souls are made in the image of God, The Organizing Principle around which The Creation Program was written and downloaded.
To some small degree, souls are able to duplicate the programming and downloading that God utilized to bring all there is into being. Parts of the human program run automatically, as does much of The Creation Program.
The human programs also have the ability to choose and do things.
The Loving Programmer’s Operating Instructions, provided by the Catholic Church, both through the Scripture it compiled and arranged into the Bible and by Church teachings, show each human program how to make the best decisions.
If a human program operates in accordance with The Operating Instructions, it may spend a joyful eternity with The Loving Programmer.
If it does not, and does not seek authorized forgiveness for failures to comply, the soul will not spend a joyful eternity with The Loving Programmer.
