there's no such thing as a soul. it's only a human body and mind
a soul can't be defined...it just 'is'...it's the thing that makes us giggle..the thing that makes us hurt, the thing that makes us passionate...
I think it's something that 'we' are...I don't think it's a ball of smoke or an electrical energy ball...I think it's undefinable..it's unique to each person...
The concept of a soul originated in ancient times when there was no understanding of what made a body be alive rather than dead. They attributed the difference to an invisible animating force, called a soul.
Today, we understand what makes something be alive rather than dead. There is no longer a place for a soul. People who don't want to give up the ancient myths of life beyond death changed the concept of a soul to mean 'the invisible force behind intelligence'. Well guess what, we're starting to understand intelligence as well, so the definition of a soul is in flux again. Now it's being reinterpreted as the invisible and unmeasurable seat of 'awareness'. I wonder what they'll morph it into after we understand that as well.
They'll never give up this game.
