I see it all as one, let's say we are soulful beings, rather than we have a soul.
I disagree with diminishing the body to "just a body" and then placing the soul on a pedestal of divinity too. I see it all as divine, the soul, the body, life, and whatever is out there, places to travel, states of consciousness, perspectives, dimensions...

No. My grandmother went to church but didn't like their doctrines as she read her bible differently. Can't remember where it is now but there is a scripture that says 'the soul dies'. So a clash with the church there methinks.

Sorry about the puerile comment but as a boy i was a chorister and we loved to sing the words "our souls"...well, we were young and it made us giggle!

You know....im not sure.

I used to call it a soul for lack of a better word, (and still do sometimes).

I'm leaning towards us being 'beings of energy', stuck in meat bags.

I like the idea that we potentially finally get released when our meat bag expires.

i would call it more of a "consciousness" but definitely, yes. i can remember mine entering my body when i was little and feeling jarred and confused, i can remember dying when it happened to me while i was in the hospital and i can recall coming back and i am not religious. i was "consciously aware" at a certain point that i was separate from my body and that i was dead.

No, we are THE consciousness. We just have this human body, we are not the body, nor the mind.

Some consider this consciousness as separate for each being, considering it as soul. Other who (Advaitins) believe it's the one universal consciousness that pervades in all of us.

YES ...... Well, humans think, feel, have all types of emotions and think all types of thoughts.
That is the soul! The soul is who any individual is. Without the soul these bodies would be a lifeless clump of flesh, unable to function in any shape form or fashion. The soul is housed and what we call the brain and controls the functions of most of the body.

Most Animals think, feel, have types of emotions and think different thought, . Others living creatures can be said to react to instinct or necessity like insects, fish. The difference is separates humans is the portion of spirit of God that resides in humans, which makes humans more capable and understanding. You can teach a an animal some things, to do or not to do, to react to you but you can't teach an animals a difference between right and wrong Good and evil.

I'm not sure about everybody, but some clearly don't.

No, I never have been able to convince myself that we aren't just pure individual biology plus the sum of our experiences.

Yes.

Yes,we do.

I think all life is one big connected, fluid soul. There is only you here.

I believe so. They have some type of energy force in them that lives on after their body dies.

100% yes.

After we die, we will all know but it will be too late by then. Until such time, keep wondering.

A soul or a spirit, and I'm not sure what the difference is.

Nope, R&B.

The body wouldn't function without a soul. When we appear to die and leave the lifetime, the body itself doesn't die; it's the soul that merely steps away from the body.

The body of itself is nothing but flesh and bones, but the soul is the life energy that energizes and animates the body as long as the soul remains with the body at all times, until death do they part.

Zero evidence.

Buddha said there is no such thing as a soul.

Some. Not all

Those who are void of conscience have no soul like a psychopath.

Yes

Yes

yep 💯
