Do you ever have concepts 'fade out'? The concept of 'soul' used to be one I used a lot, and now it's kinda dissolved - it's just not an object that shows up a lot in my processing. Similarly, 'love' has faded out for me, replaced by something like 'looking' or 'self-dissolution'

And you no longer feel those?

No I definitely feel those, but I don't feel like the 'love concept' is adequate for the nuance there. When I feel warm feelings, I think "I feel warm feelings." When I recognize the divine, the word 'love' doesn't come up anymore. The love concept seems limiting in some ways.

Love to me is something that is familiar yet transcendent. Like something finite and rare, yet when you have it, it’s like working out a muscle that you’ve always had yet don’t always have an opportunity to exercise.

I tend to grapple with this problem by redefining things until they apply to problems I was already thinking about. Soul is pretty useless as a term. But if you use it as a synonym for “essence” you can keep it. Maybe a good stopgap if you don’t want to commit to dissolution.
