A soul is metaphysical religious bullshit....
A mind should be used to think and interpret reality.
Religion poisons that mind (Hitchens) with tearful superstitions.
If one thinks about and studies reality they will become a default atheist.
The word “soul” in the Bible is a translation of the Hebrew word neʹphesh and the Greek word psy·kheʹ. The Hebrew word literally means “a creature that breathes,” and the Greek word means “a living being.” * The soul, then, is the entire creature, not something inside that survives the death of the body. Consider how the Bible shows that the human soul is the whole person:
When Jehovah God created the first man, Adam, the Bible says that “man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7, King James Version) Adam was not given a soul—he became a living soul, or person.
The Bible says that the soul can work, crave food, eat, obey laws, and touch a dead body. (Leviticus 5:2; 7:20; 23:30; Deuteronomy 12:20; Romans 13:1) Those activities involve the entire person.
Soul is the spirit of God in a person.
not the same as mind
The "soul" is nothing more than wishful thinking. Our personalities come from our brains. When we die, that chemical reaction (life) ends. It's like turning off your computer. If our personalities can somehow survive the destruction of the body (brain being part of that body), how? What is the mechanism that allows it to survive? Where does it go? How does it replenish itself? None of it makes any sense at all, and the more you think about it, the more the idea falls apart. If you're afraid of death, I'd say that is natural as we are organic beings whose very nature is to survive and pass on our genetic material. Nobody wants to think about being squelched out of existence but then again, seeing as you won't be conscious and won't even know you're dead (or that you once lived at all), what difference does it make? I don't have any recollection of the billions of years that passed before I was born.
No. There is the mind, body and soul. The mind drives the body and the soul is the character of choice (either of God or of Satan) that drives the mind.
In a sense, they are similar.
The soul is spiritual and is made up of light energy.
The mind is mental and is made up of physical energy.
The soul controls the mind.
The mind controls the body.
The soul is located within the mind. The Pineal Gland, to be exact.
The Pineal Gland releases DMT at 49 days (7 weeks) in the womb (reincarnation?) and the heart begins to beat. It is also released during REM sleep, OBEs, NDEs, and at death. It is released at times the soul enters and leaves the body.
Yes! When we pass away, our sole leaves out of our brain and then goes to the Judgement Area, then to Heaven or Hell!
Watch "The Lazarus Phenomenon" and "The Search For Heaven" where millions of people have died, been confirmed dead by doctors, and have come back to life, and See what they were shown! One report even includes that there are more colors in Heaven, than our eyes can see here.
