No one can sell a soul because it isn't yours, it belongs to the universe. Sins don't exist either. It's called "human nature."

Very true and I like your view on the subject. I for one crave finding that one soul that I can connect to. The heartbeat that makes my own sing in unision. Sound corny, perhaps, but true neverless.\n\nGive me sincerity and my heart shall sing the highest note :)\n\nPS Forgive me for my lameness!!

That's an age old question, and a little romantic too, I think we like to believe deep down that there is such a thing as a partner that seeks one person as they have a cosmic connection that extends beyond this life. \nIf one believes in the soul, then why not believe in soul mates.\n\nI personally believe in soul mates, as I too believe in true love.\nLove n light\nxx x

the soul is neither good nor evil. its the choices that we make which are good or evil.

They say animals dont got no soul but theyre conscious aint they? Its kind of separated, the study of science and religion I mean. So the soul is in religion and the consciousness is in science. I guess its coz you cant really study the soul scientifically, its up to you to believe in it and most people do. It is almost a fact that we have souls right?

stop looking! When you look you never find your soul mate. When we stop looking fate has away of having this person find us.;

What about purpose, is not my being enough or does the "self"   need more to justify its own existence and identity.  Until we trully know who we are we will suffer such questions posed.

Your "soul" does not enter the body at conception. You are a being of light before you become a human being, therefore evolutioning with time, thru every life pattern or experienced existence in the physical body.\nWhich means that your "soul" is already in existence  before physical conception.....

Since souls have no mass or substance, they can't be restrained by what we perceive as an encasement.  Only something in the spiritual realm can effectively "trap" a soul.

Soul is the intelligence which is beyond the mind. It is of course non-material.\n\nOur thoughts keep it improsoned during life because instead of we controlling our thoughts, our thoughts control us.\n\nTo free the soul, we need to watch our thoughts for what they are. Life is now and that is were you will find the soul if your mind is free of thoughts.

In the Bible,"soul" is translated from the Hebrew ne'phesh and the Greek psy khe'.Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys.To many persons,however,"soul" means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body.Others understand it to be the principle of life.But these latter views are not Bible teachings.\n\n"The concept of immortality is a product of Greek thinking,whereas the hope of a resurrection belongs to Jewish thought....Following Alexander's conquests Judaism gradually absorbed Greek concepts."- Dictionnaire Encyclopedique de la Bible (Valence,France;1935),edited by Alexandre Westphal,Vol 2 p. 557.\n"Immortality of the soul is a Greek notion formed in ancient mystery cults and elaborated by the philosopher Plato."-Presbyterian Life,May 1,1970,p.35.

We are eternal spirit souls RIDING in the temporary VEHICLE of a human animal-mammal-primate-vertebrate-chordate-hominid Homo sapiens. Genetically inherited animal vehicles are born, eat, mate-breed, defend, sleep, get ill, cheat, steal, die. Genetically inherited ego structures-intellect-minds and personalities assist the body in these things so the karmic wheel of this huge cosmic computer-machine can keep on turning.  We are different from-superior to animals in one KEY AREA.  As humans we have the ability to ask the correct-wise-higher questions of WHO AM I REALLY AND WHY AM I HERE REALLY. Animals can't-don't do that! Answer to these questions are to know, love, serve, remember and glorify the Creator, and to know the difference between the three items listed below, not just say you believe and go to church for hour on sunday and be kinda "good" when you feel like it. It takes effort, grace, willpower and mercy!\n\nDo you know the difference between:\n\nillusion and Truth\ntemporary and Eternal\nmatter and Spirit\n\nOnce we KNOW who we REALLY are, why we are REALLY here (Bhakti Prema) then we can go back to the Eternal Home where we can serve the Creator. Until then, we are just here playing with matter, trying to be controllers and enjoyers of matter and the material world and play the role of "little pseudo-gods" instead of doing what He wants. Once we want to play with Spirit more than matter then we have BEGUN the REAL PURPOSE of human life, to NOT BE ANIMALS-INHUMANE.....but to become Self and God Realized (not ego realized!) and go back Home. Thus, most humans are behaving like animals.  \n\nEstimates are that about\n\n5-6% of humans are infant souls\n20 % baby souls\n30% young souls%\n33% mature souls\n10% old souls \n\nTypically it is not until souls are "later old souls," probably the last 2%,that humans start to REMEMBER the real purpose of life and are INTERESTED-COMMITTED in its deep pursuit. Christ came to help humans open their hearts and become at least "mature human" if they can do what He teaches instead of living the Old Testament animal way of "eye for an eye." Compassion is one of His many major teachings. If humans are incapable of love-compassion on any level, then they are animal Homo sapiens.  Some dogs are more compassionate, kind, caring, serving, devoted than some humans.\n\nbody\nmind\nintellect\nintelligence\nego\nSpirit\n\nThis is the "order of hierarchy-lowest to highest" of our utilizable components while here.  Once Spirit runs the show we are spiritual beings riding within a human experience.  But if body-mind-intellect-ego are "trying to run the show," then we are just animals, fancy and intellectually sharp sometimes, but not truly human-humane.\n\nStages of development of love (in order) include:\n\nnurturance\nbonding\nalliance\nreciprocity\nunderstanding-comprehension\nappreciation-gratitude\naltruism-selfless service\nagape-unconditional love\n\nIf we aren't doing these,then we must be going down the rung to lower animal behavior, aka "hell on earth".\n\nIf you can be tolerant and "agree to disagree" then you can be a "civilized human", but if not, the following DOWNHILL ANIMAL CANCER spreads:\n\ndisagree\naggravation-grudge-repressed anger-frustration\ncivil disputes\nfeuds-gang-regional warfare\ncriminal disputes\nwar (>1000 die over a specific issue)\nannihiliation\n\nbut the highest level of spiritual love (the only true-deepest love) is Prema!\n\nHave a great day-life!

Until we realise that our 'body' is not who we are, but it is actually the 'soul' that is the real us, we will keep concentrating on improving our appearance as a means to improve ourselves rather than concentrating on improving and nourishing our soul. \n\nPerhaps when we realise that the character of a person is more important than the external appearance, we might be better able to accept the shortcomings in our appearance.

Jesus is our soul, we all sit beside him every day as he is within us.  Deep within us and when we dig deep enough we find him.  He's our conscience.  If we learn to follow him we will always be happy.x
