I would love to give you a more in-depth coherent explanation of my view of the soul, and if I had one I would. The soul and my concept of it are as ephemeral as anybody's, and possibly more so.

Soul is just that inner spirit. I use that inner spirit for whatever it is I do.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

From one Soul of the Universe are all Souls derived.

Yes, now I understood for the first time that my soul was not so poor and empty as it had seemed to me, and that it had been only the sun that was lacking to open all its germs, and buds to the light.

I don't think I do have a soul.

It is only to the individual that a soul is given.

I am a soul. I know well that what I shall render up to the grave is not myself. That which is myself will go elsewhere. Earth, thou art not my abyss!
