is it something that people beleive in..or do we acctually have it?
and fact or myth, what IS it?? i know its something in our body (if its true) but what is it?

§pearhead
A soul is how some people explain a conscience, or something like that. IMO, it doesn't exist, and I think if you do a search, there was a thread about this a while ago

Corran
It's a fish isn't it ??? confused???

yerssot
no, that's unagi... *holds finger at head* salmonroll

What i beleive a soul is

Is who and what you are, the body you have is just a costume your soul wears. The soul is i think your mind.

It what seperates each other, if i was in your body and you were in mine we'd still be the same person and what makes you your person is your soul.

Thats my theories/opinion cool

Darth Revan
No, the fish is spelled "sole".

finti
its a musical genre

The Omega
Yes, I agree with Finti. It's some kind of music... yes

soul

1. nonphysical aspect of person: the complex of human attributes that manifests as consciousness, thought, feeling, and will, regarded as distinct from the physical body.

2. religion spirit surviving death: in some systems of religious belief, the spiritual part of a human being that is believed to continue to exist after the body dies. The soul is sometimes regarded as subject to future reward and punishment, and sometimes as able to take a form that allows it to remain on or return to earth.

I think some ppl need to understand the difference in some words. yes

The Omega
Some ppl needs a sense of humour...
(Listens to soul... rockin' ) big grin

This should be in the Philosophy forum erm

WindDancer
Kinda looks like is heading there.

they say every body loses 21 grams when they die. they say 21 grams is the weight of your soul...

yeah, i got that from the movie. i thought it was appropriate for our topic... stick out tongue

and yes i do believe we have souls. it's hard to explain it. i guess it's all in a person's religious up-bringings...

ScarletSpider
Whether it be something akin to a soul or not, there are still mysteries regarding human kind. For instance, they know how the brain works, but they don't know exactly what it does. How does it make us sentient, how does it enable us with self awareness and individuality. I do agree there is something else, a little oomph that makes our bodies of flesh, blood, and awesome opposable thumbs, human. Something that makes us think, feel, act, question and...philosophize.

Corran
Amen

finti
and if you sniff 21 grams you probably end up having an out of soul experiense...........and get to chat with Syd Barret

Fire
it was a nice movie burly.

I believe ppl have something called life energy which is kinda like a soul

yerssot

the soul is the only thing that goes to the afterlife, you body just sits in the ground and rots, afterlife meaning Heaven or Hell of course

WindDancer
I heard something similar to that before. Some people believe that the human body is a prison of the soul. That death is the release into true freedom. Kinda poetic....but I like it. happy

burly brawler
i dunno how they measured it. "they" do a lot of weird stuff. i heard it in the movie... i thoguht it sounded cool.
