Soul Vs Religion

The soul can never be destroyed or changed. Krishna mentions that the soul and body-mind are different. The body dies and is reborn. The soul remains. I also believe in the universal soul (purusha). My values, however, are slightly different. I realize that there are three types of suffering: dukkha–dukkha, viparinama-dukkha, and samkhara-dukkha. Dukkha-dukkhua means obvious physical or mental pain. Viparinama-dukkha means losing something that is valuable to you. Suffering can also be translated to satisfactoriness, instability, and uncertainty.

The Soul view focuses around the soul being separate from the body. The soul, being separate from the body, when a person dies can move on from one body to another. It doesn’t only consider death as a distinction between soul and body, the persistence comes into question as well. “If a person x exists at one time and something y exists at another time, under what circumstances is it the case that x is y?”. When the soul view is put into question for this the answer is that x and y are the same person. Although their body may have changed over time they are still the same person. This can be applied to sleeping, death, and other extreme circumstances. For instance, when you sleep you begin to lose consciousness but then wake up as the same person and can identify yourself, therefore you are the same person, no matter the body. The same can be tied to death, if body was not in question when you “wake up” you persist with the same soul and memories. Therefore, the soul View holds.

Hindus believe in an eternal soul that carries on after death, known as an atman. Buddhist believe in a finite self, with no eternal soul lasting beyond the grave, known as an anatman.

Plato explains how “the soul resembles the divine, and the body resembles the mortal,” (80a). The soul belongs to the invisible and immortal world while the body solely resides in the physical world. What characterizes things as invisible is their ability to be, immortal, intelligible, and always itself, on the other hand to be something that is visible is to be, moral, unintelligible, and never constantly the same. We are alive because we have a soul. The soul is connected to the Form of Life.

The unifying factor of the varying views held by Buddhists on the afterlife is that one should be committed towards avoiding reincarnation in order to be liberated. Another striking view of the Buddhist beliefs on the afterlife is that there is no soul. This implies there is no permanent form or substance in the life after death. However, Buddhism provides certain predictions on the individual identity assumed in the afterlife.

As I have a religious background, I believe everyone has a soul, and so do I. My soul is like a lake because the lake will not be static, completely calm and stable. It will always have constant waves and change its status. Nevertheless, because it is a lake, its volatility will not be intense enough to become a massive storm surges, or to have sufficient internal resources to go beyond the shore. Therefore, I cannot go to seek for a different environment, a different way of existence. On the other hand, I am obligated to provide my resources to the trees and the creatures that need me. They are my family member, my friends, and my social relationships. I am not afraid of untethering my soul, but my love stops me. However, I believe one day, my lake will creep to the river and then the sea. From the sea, I will be able to provide the rain for all species. In other words, I can spread my love and my peace by becoming helpful to society, I just need time to do that.

The idea of the soul varies widely in religious tradition. While these variations exist, its basic definition is unvarying. The soul can be described as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated. The soul is seen as the core principle of life or as the essence of a being 1. Views on the permanence of the soul vary throughout religious tradition as well. While some view it as a mortal entity in flux others believe the soul is an immortal and permanent unit. These interpretations vary from time period to time period and between religions. These characteristics of the soul are interpreted differently through an Eastern or

According to research, transmigration of the soul is “the philosophical and religious doctrine that supports the passage of the human soul through human beings, animals or plants, for reasons of purification or punishment be because of errors committed in previous lives” (Reincarnation after Death, 2016). Additionally, karma is “…the good and bad of a soul, which transfers from one living being to another” (Earthpages. ca, 2011). Indeed, these concepts contrast and compare with the Christion belief of afterlife. One example in comparison is that Christians also believe the body and soul separates after death. However, in contrast Christians believe that the spiritual body, resurrected after death, is absent from physical body. As a result,

.Sacrates proof of the immortality of the human soul is ethics. Socrates says how if the Gods do something does not mean it always going to have a positive outcome. Good and positive outcomes go further then the Gods itself. Good behavior is beyond the Gods that mean it is immortal. Ethics are what makes the human sole so if ethics are immortal so is the human soul. This is all based off of whether you have proper ethics and having that and being a good person your soul can be immortal.

Where do souls go after death? But to actually understand that question we need to understand what does the term soul mean? Soul is the principle of life, feeling and thought and action in humans, the spiritual part of humans distinct from the physical part. Science doesn’t have an answer really for this question, this concept is based on beliefs, and each religion has different beliefs. In the creation story God makes human beings out of the dust of the ground, into which God breathes the breath of life (Gen. 2:7). While Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have traditionally seen the soul as a substantive individual, enduring over time, Hindu and Buddhist literature have cast the individuality of the soul in more conditional

It is the dynamism of experience that distracts the bodily part of the soul and therefore the part of it that connects to the One. Of course soul maintains its identity to the Divine indefinitely, but it experiences through matter and cannot avoid experiencing through matter while it is within the body. It therefore tries to find value of itself within the world when it is set apart from its essence. Plotinus suggests that soul is the power within the body when he says: “For what is body but earth, and even if it be fire…, what (but soul) is its burning power?” (113). But the true radiance of the soul is, in a way, confined to the body. The soul must strive to maintain self-awareness, yet it does not need to remove itself from the body to do this. Therefore, it must learn not to experience itself within the body meaning it must learn not to experience the soul in matter. However, the soul in matter is what overwhelms it with earthly emotion. For example, the experience of fear can distract a human from what it really loves, therefore, fear could distract the soul from its higher good. The soul forgets its place whilst strong emotion that relates directly to terrestrial matter throws it off course. It is the soul within matter in which creates experience or emotion that holds the soul to the body, and therefore to itself in the material

In the dictionary, the soul is defined as "the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal." In many religions and to many philosophers, the word soul indicates self-awareness and a persons identity that travels beyond their physical being. Although some religions view the soul to be immortal, there are arguments that the soul dis not necessarily eternal or indestructible. Most of the world's religions and cultures believe in the existence of souls. However, some major religions such as Buddhism disagree with the belief that souls exist. In religion, the idea of a soul is commonly connected to the belief of heaven, hell, and reincarnation.

Soul is the perfect thing that we have then it is the only one that we bring after life. My own concept of the soul, body and spirit, Soul is the somewhat leader then the spirit is the responsible follower knows everything, knows right from wrong, then our body is irresponsible always commit sin and it is the material thing that we have, So the souls mission is to guide this body by asking help from it is follower the spirit. Spirit is the one who controls the body and if the spirit cannot succeed to control it the soul will help and make the body right and out from danger or away from venial or even mortal

What is a soul? The spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal regarded as immortal. Many Philosophers studied the soul in several ways in order to get the point of what is the soul. Although sometimes it is confusing to understand what is meant because it is explained in other ways and used in examples. The Philosopher Aristotle came to the conclusion that the soul is the first grade of actuality of a natural organized body. He uses it in the axe and eye as examples but yes it might be confusing but at the end it will make sense in what he means.

Since the soul is immortal it has been recycled many times, and has also experienced everything
