Put simply, a soul-making approach to life suggests that we come into this world not only as biological infants, but as psychological embryos. Each of us is an unformed soul-seed. In 1948 the French philosopher, Albert Camus, wrote in his journal: "If there is a soul, it is a mistake to believe that it is given to us fully created. It is created here, throughout a whole life. And living is nothing else but that long and painful bringing forth.” The Christian theologian, Origen, said: "Being made in God's image is the beginning of the soul; living in this world is what changes us into the completed image of God."
