to dissassociate from being human i would explain as allowing yourself to not believe in the illusion of reality. The illusion of reality includes but not limited to, the different extremeties and what we think our perception of them are, like hot/cold, angered/estatic, basically anything that is dualistic. because we've set up our own standards for this, (ex. what is socially acceptable/what is socially unacceptable) it varies among individual people, and different groups/countries/species. so from this standard of how we should live our lives, and how we perceive others, we have created the 'human' association, but in the end its all bullshit lol.
if you let go of that association that you've perceived and given to yourself, you'll for one, feel completely free, and second, you will realize that everything is part of you, because all that is 'seperate' is actually intertwined we just have perceived from our own standard that it is not so.
unconditional love has been long praised as the best path to complete cosmic consciousness(the complete seperation from your own 'seperate' physical being), it allows you not to get rise from what you have previously set a standard of, because w/ unconditional love you are able to accept all that is.
lol oh oh what is a soul? well i can tell you what the english word soul is. the english word "soul" or "alma"(in spanish) is a symbol that english speakers have associated w/ a part of the human being that is not able to be physically observed, it has been associated w/ aura's and other observable scientifical findings. but the soul in fact is a word, therefore making a symbol to all humans, just as much as what i previously said in this post, no matter what take i have on my words and meaning, you will have a different understanding, because of your own symbolic interpretation.
soul just like all words aand things are undefinable from me.
but imo, the atman/brahman relationship is very familiar to the soul and cosmic consciousness relationship. that is why i find hinduism fascinating, but the misunderstandings of social classes and lack of unconditional love for all, allows me to see the flaws of other humans standards that have been included in the religion.
