Soul
- 1. the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
- 2. the essence or embodiment of a specified quality.
So the soul can be the essence or embodiment of the specified quality of a man.
In the Bible we see the word soul translated from the word nephesh[1] which is from the same Hebrew letters NunPeiShin meaning to "take a breath". The Nun has to do with the "Heir to the Throne" while the Pei is about "Communication" through the breath ending with the Shin or "Eternal Flame of Revelation bound to the Divine Essence".
To the Greeks the soul was the psyche or "psyühē", of "psychein" meaning "to breathe" which included mental abilities of a living being such as reason, character, feeling, consciousness, memory, perception, thinking, etc.
Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle, saw the soul (ψυχή psūchê) as have a logical and divine faculty effecting human actions. Some considered this soulful essence to be an incorporeal and eternal occupant of our corporeal being and even live on beyond the death of the body.
Almost every culture believes in a soul that connects us with if not determines our fate in an after life. While The soul (psyche) is often considered distinct from the body (soma) that distinction is less when it comes to the idea of a spirit (pneuma) which is often used interchangeably.
Augustine described the soul as "a special substance, endowed with reason, adapted to rule the body". in Matthew 10:28 we see the words of Jesus saying "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." The word destroy can simply mean "to devote or give over" and hell or geenna[2] being an undesirable juridical place of decay and filth, the opposite of heaven where life comes from.
- In quantum mechanics there may be multiple parallel dimensions. There may be an ability to tap into those dimensions or realms through the divine spark of the soul. If the soul's choice denies the light of one realm it may be drawn to the darkness of another realm dragging with it the spirit and body which is one of the Mysteries of the Universe.
