do you believe in existence of soul? Personally I believe in existence of soul.It is my personal opinion It does not matter whether it is supported by science or not.Even definition of soul is different from person to person and religion to religion. Mostly in all religion , it has been mentioned that we have souls and We are different from our consciousness and body.What do you think souls exist and apart from human being other animals and creatures also have souls?

For me souls is we are the living remember after Jehovah God made the Adam he say this is Adam the living so meaning the souls is not depart from our body it is together in the body that is living.

Hello Crazy Poster!
I do think souls exsist, and I also beleive that you can have like soulds with a indivisual. Have you ever gave it some thought, when you meet someone, that you have never met in your life, and you get along with them so well, and you feel good about them from the inside, no gittyness, nervouseness etc?? Thats because you both have like souls, and nine times out of ten you will get along really well. I hope this was some help.

well it is evident souls exist. in my hebrew (not jewish) culture soul just means the same as an energy source. like a battery could be the same thing as soul. even as a body or car or any vehicle needs an energy source of some kind to be powered, and more often more than one kind of energy source! so even rocks have an energy source which helps them to hold the form they do. souls are everywhere..only people use fleshly eyes to try to see it and most likely wont, because one must learn to see in other ways

Yes i too believe that souls do existbecause is the part of our human being that gives us the concious.Souls differ from one bieng to the other and from human beings to other creatures.This is a believe because no-one has ever seen the soul nor touch it.I can not how the soul looks like, its size but i just have to believe it does exist.

Apart from external persona, all living things have an inner self. In us humans, the inner self is ever in touch with unconscious and conscious both. Therefore, we say we humans have a soul. In other lower species such as animals, it is anima. In animals the inner self is in touch with unconscious only but not with the conscious. Both soul and anima are the life's animating principles. In Christian doctrine, it is the breath of life. The same breath of life, which God had breathed into Adam's nostrils to animate Adam, also animates all of us because it is infinitely divisible element. Once it leaves our body, it must conjoin to its point of origin from where it came into us. However, the soul though it ferments in our body for an entire lifetime is still impure. Therefore, for its final purification it must be purified in the body of Christ. Christ's body is made of our consecrated elements. Once it is purified in His body, it goes and conjoins with God.

Well if were to be asked if souls really exist my is yes. As a Christian we believe on the Divine Revelation that God created as from dust and he breathed on it and serve as the soul and then its the start of human lifeforms. But still there are some studies and researches to prove that souls really exist but still there's no evidence yet to provr it that's why others don't believe in souls. I can only say even its not supported by science and other studies, what you think is right the right answer it is!!!!!

Well , whether to believe or not but once I called up the soul when I was in junior school and on that time it came also and we asked few questions to them also and they answered too the only difference was the answer was not correct and was just near by to the right answers ...so I believe in that truly .

I kind of like to think my soul as the voice inside my head that I sometimes find myself arguing with lol.

As far as I know,Buddism doesnot describe spirit essence as "soul".Buddism thinks all existences are false phenomenons which wouldnot be everlasting.Nothing is eternal.Their essence is emptiness.All phenomenon changes according to its inner reasons.We are the transient results of the inner reasons.All the reasons in the eternal time and space forms our endless destiny in history. We can only become the reason's master and control our destine by adhering to our pure instinct which doesnot stick to any thoughts or concepts such as "soul".Our sensory consciousness is not reliable.It can only see the shadow of truth.Shadow is always distorted.Our thoughts and concepts are distorted from ultimate facts.But our instinct can reach the core essence without thinking.So,let's leave the concepts such as "soul" and try to keep our instinct aware in emptiness of false thinking.Thus the supreme intelligence will naturally appear and we will realise the true essence of the world.
Buddism believes all the creatures and lifeless objects have the same potential capability of instinct which can sense any existence of the world.The only difference is that we have developed our potential to different extents.
Buddism also blieves everything has the same ultimate body of essence which can generate various phenomenons from emptiness and possesses supreme intelligence of instinct.Merely due to being astray from their instinct,they cannot fully realise their potential intelligence and have accordingly formed their lives at different levels of wisdom,actual abilities and physical structures. Thus we see how the reality world looks like.
