The soul is changing.
The absence of a permanent self ceases to mean the negation of the soul as soon as we recognize its changing nature:
This means that a quick reading of the Buddha’s teachings on non-self (anatta) followed by a few automatic responses is generally enough to discredit with a sweep of hand any argument in favor of the existence of the soul as relating to a primitive attachment, of an infantile spirituality, incapable of detaching from its spheres of (self) projection.
However, from the moment we recognize the changing nature of what constitutes our body, our deep mind, the spiritual reality of our being, the soul and the non-self of the Buddha can coexist harmoniously.
Not being attached to the impermanence of this deep spiritual reality does not prevent the acknowledgement of the soul (deep stream of consciousness).
I am thinking here of a possible connection with the teachings of St John of the Cross, for whom the soul in search of God undergoes a process of purification in order to consume itself perfectly in divine union.
Such a process clearly underlines its changing nature.
In the same way that the child that I was ultimately has little in common with the adult that I am (there may not even be a single cell in common between these two persons) ,
The soul (deep consciousness) that I am, from which I emanate so amazingly, will have little in common with the soul that will be,
perhaps even to the point of no longer recognizing oneself, of no longer having the will, the idea, the intuition to even seek to recognize oneself.
It’s a similar process of change, it plays out on a completely different level, slower, faster, more ethereal… What do we really know about it?

I have neither the legitimacy nor the intention to do so.
Simply, a clumsy reflection (as always…) of what is going through me.
Notes & Silence 
My initial thought: this boils down to « the Atman and the Brahman are one. »
Second thought: I cannot distinguish deep and ultimate consciousness – that which does not change. As I see it currently,at any rate.

Brahman and Atman,
Like the Son and the Father,
in the Absolute, are one ?
One reality, two lexical realms ?

Is not all one?
