The 'soul' is a construct of the human mind.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'> The human mind itself is a contruct of natural selection and environmental conditioning, we have been given this ability to freely construct any concept we like to define our existence, why gravitate towards a soul and/or spirit?
Even Nihilism is forced to describe reality as a "ghost image" for loss of better words to explain it.
Lefty states that the soul is intangible, I would say that it is not the soul that is intangible(as we would not be able to create the concept if the soul werent tangible) but it is the connection beetween the spirit and the soul that is intangible to discern the 2 apart.
The spirit is the easy one to figure out, it could be considered reality itself(Nihilism) or the wave length/ particle domination of spiritual possesion.
The soul is tricky, it is in its nature abstract and is then logically assumed to be nothing but a cognitive calculation, but how does one continue to deny the scientific evidence of the underlying abstract nature of reality itself?
The only true construct of the human mind to me is God, A being to justify the power structure of organising for the will of religion.
I have nothing against organising and nothing against religion, but the combination of the 2 has manifested the death and destruction that brings us so close to the self elimination of our species.
The salvation of humanity will be the death of god in reality, so god can be reborn in our questions.
