In one of the early publications by Neale Donald Walsch - [I think it was Conversations with God book 1] - he refers to several components of consciousness.
Viz: He lists the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the superconscious mind as representing the three-part constitution of the wider consciousness, as experienced in the human condition.
The conscious mind, he says, is the part of us with which we make our day-to-day decisions, and with which we manufacture order in our lives. The subconscious mind operates out of our conscious control, he continues, and picks up codings from the quantum field that are not immediately accessible via the conscious thought processes.
He refers to the superconscious mind as being that aspect of us which operates from a dimension that is separate from our duality-based continuum. In addition, he refers to the superconscious mind as the soul, or steering aspect of our incarnation. The quiet voice from behind the veil that most of us can't hear!
This is just one of many perspectives concerning consciousness; one that adds another small branch to our discussion.
I have read all of Walsch's books, and gleaned a great deal of information from them, over a 15-year period.
However, I have to add that many of the books that he published after the success of the the initial three Conversations with God renditions, had little more to add to the story. I got the distinct impression in his later publications that he was simply milking his earlier success by releasing essentially the same material, but with a slightly different focus.

I see a lot of references to the Soul in this conversation.
Has anyone here experienced his or her soul on a tangible sensate level as themselves?
I am wondering about that. For me the idea of soul is just that. an idea, much like the fact we talk about consciousness without a definition of what it is we are talking about. The whole karma thing comes into play as well. I know buddhism has knowledge or talks about rebirth and reincarnation. I can't escape the feeling that it's pointing to something way more mundane that the idea's most westerners hang on it..
Could be mistaken though. Some here know my views on how knowledge of past lives may come to pass. It's not what's most common. As it isn't me that experienced these past life's, but the imprints of the one who thought of the idea/intention that is seeking fulfillment or completion.
If I may suggest we first try to come to a definition of what we consider the realm of consciousness before we start branching out on the implications of semi-popular beliefs?
