Is the Soul Impermanent like the Waves?

A man asks about the ocean's activity in creating waves, which seems like soul's purpose as well. Is the soul impermanent like the waves and currents in the ocean? Rupert responds that we can say that they are impermanent, but at the deepest level there aren't independent things like waves and currents; there is only the ocean. There are no separate things, but when we speak of them we can say they are impermanent. The soul is a temporary localisation of the whole. Rupert elaborates on the whirlpool analogy he borrowed from Bernardo Kastrup.
