Quoted from [Malynda I don't understand how we know that a plant is not evolved enough to have a soul. I think my frame of reference is very narrow in this area and I would like to understand more. I always thought that everything that comes from source, god, whatever has a soul and that if you don't have a soul, you're not so very "good".]

You are most welcome Mylinda, I cannot claim to know everything about this subject but I have been researching it for a long time. I think that most of us know it is not right to eat the flesh of other beings and deep inside we all long to be Noble Beings but to answer your question.... we all have within us that which resonates in everything that exists which is "the spirit" or "vibration" which is I believe to be the Universal Force or God Force whichever we choose to believe, however there is also those that have "conscious souls" which means that they are more aware of what and who they are for instance an animal is more aware of itself than a plant wouldn't you say as they feel fear and love. Animals also have blood which runs through their veins. Cows, pigs, goats etc know when they are going to be killed and they often die in fear and not in love. Personally I've come to the conclusion that it's not good for me karmically to participate in the killing of animals and using my body as a "cemetery" for dead animals.
