And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul
I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.
No, I believe soul is an abstract concept we like to define with our ego after misinterpreting a bunch of ancient people with a unique writing style that doesn’t translate well into our age.
I found exploring alchemy better defined what the soul meant for me.
Animate is the closest word I can get to soul. It can be attributed to non living things as well. It’s just complex energy structures within a certain blanket - an embodied aura if you will.
