the soul lies a result of things occurring in this temporal universe

Not exactly.

The result and the cause are the same thing. The result is the cause and the cause is the result.

Think music.

From where does a song come? Where does it go?

A song is played for an audience. The audience goes home and the song still rings in their heads. They hum it, sing it, and celebrate it, but it isn't actually there anymore. The event happened, the original song has long since been played, but its presence carries on in all who heard it.

Time passes, and the song is forgotten about. It is no longer hummed, sung, or celebrated. Did it ever really exist at all?

Of course it did. Before the musician even laid a single finger on his instrument, before the musician scribbled it down the days prior, and even before the musician himself was born, those combinations of notes played in sequence existed. The musician's passion is to discover them, write them down, and play them.

The musician extended his antenna(his spirit) and translated a Truth we all hear every day but have up until that time had ignored. He bore it, birthed it, tended to it, and celebrated his finding, imparting on the audience the very essence of the song he transcribed.

The audience for which it is played bear witness to the event, and are compelled to stand in testimony before God and the Universe that the song they heard did in fact exist, that the event took place, and that they were moved from what transpired.

But the seed existed before the musician. The musician was the bearer of the child, but the seed came from the Divine Spark of Creation we call God.

And in doing so, the musician fulfilled the prophecy of that song. The song exists because he discovered it. He discovered it because it existed. Had he not discovered the song, it would not have existed.

And I need to stress that.

Had he not discovered the song, the song would not have existed.

To take it even further, the musician exists because the song's existence required him to write it. Had he abdicated his role in writing the song, opting to ignore his passion, can we say he was ever a musician to begin with? His choice, therein, to perform his role was his to make every bit as much as he has agency to create himself.

If he had ignored his calling, then the world would continue to spin, but he would be a different person, and would cease to be as we would know him -- a musician.

To reconstruct the premise, if a musician never writes or plays any songs, is he a musician?

Even more, if the song would never have been played it would never manage to resonate with those who took the song with them and whose lives immeasurably were altered, even if they soon forget how the song went.

Such are the fleeting Joys of life. Such is the Love God shares with us, that we may take part in His Creation as equals under Christ Jesus, and follow Him in His image; in the image of the Creator.
