Is There a Soul That Exists in Relation to the Divine?

If people believed that the ultimate reality was not being experienced by the self, that there was no self, that makes oneness a real possibility. That seems neurologically aposite. If we haven't understood how consciousness arises in physical systems, and if we think they'll have emotional lives, then maybe we're right about that. And t withdraw a sense of consciousness in that case would seem just unprincipled and unethical. But at a certain point, we will very likely either be in the presence of conscious machines or think we are. They'll emulate conscious systems in a compelling enough way that our default will be, i'm in relationship to this thing now.
