This publication deals with the question which in one form or another sets of virtually any thinking person. Even small children are often interested in the mysteries of the universe, ask their parents where and how did the world around us. And ask questions such as: "What is the Soul?", and "If she lives within me, then what comes after my death?". Years pass and many people switch their attention to the solution of certain problems, and others are on the Path of Spiritual Search.

In order to understand what the Soul is, you need to ask is what are the sources of spiritual knowledge. For example, it may be the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad-Gita. In one of his Epistles the Apostle Paul says that the Spirit, Soul and body should have no blemish. There are several biblical values we are interested in term:

  • A Living creature, man or animal.
  • Personality.
  • Life.

Reflecting on the previously mentioned Epistle of the Apostle Paul and other Scriptures, it is possible to make a conclusion: the Soul – the identity of the person. It is possible to tell and differently: "People – it is the Spirit who has a Soul and He lives in a body." There are other opinions, since the topic is raised already for many centuries. You may recall the Greek philosopher Democritus, who gave the Soul the properties of material substances. Its components he considered light, nimble atoms of fire.

Plato was the understanding, more close to that interpretation, which we suggested on the basis of the texts of the Holy Scriptures-the Bible. This ancient Greek philosopher and student of Socrates recognized the Soul as an independent substance, living in the body. Plato, considering this issue, it was assumed that this entity is divine and eternal, the sublime and invisible. Plato's student, Aristotle created a famous treatise called "On the Soul". It is denied that it can be a substance.

However, Aristotle, unlike the philosophers of idealism, rejects the consideration of the term separately from the living body (matter). The main function of the Soul he calls the implementation of the biological functions of the body. If we go back to Socrates, the wise man, the philosopher of ancient Greece, many devoted to the study of the mysteries of the universe and consideration of human nature. If we could ask him what a Soul is, the answer could also seem similar to the biblical meaning of the word.

Socrates claimed that during his life on Earth preparing his Soul to her continued existence. He believed that the real life begins only after death of the physical body. So about this term considering the religion, implying him some essence linking of God with man. In the book Genesis it is written that after the Lord breathed into the crown of His creation life, man became a living Soul.

Moreover, if you carefully study the Scriptures, we can draw attention to the fact that God also has a Soul. There it is written that She is able to Express certain emotions. For example: to love, to enjoy, to hate, to rejoice, to grieve, to be depressed, embarrassed. It is noteworthy that the spirit, according to the Bible, there are animals. In the book of Ecclesiastes says that no one knows where he goes after their death. And in the 17th Chapter of the book "Leviticus" (10 – 14 verses), contains a prohibition on the adoption in food of animal blood.

Required to let the blood run out on the ground, and only then to cook the catch of the bird or beast. The reason that this substance is the soul of the animal.

It Turns out that the question of what is the Soul human or animal, can give the following answer: "This is the immortal, immaterial essence that continues to live after the death of the physical body." You can not leave without attention and psychology, which owes its name to this phrase as "the science of the soul". In fact, the unequivocal answer to this research question, it does not.

Contemporary psychology inherent in such a term as "psyche", which, in turn, consists of the Subconsciousness, Consciousness and Superconsciousness. Indeed, somehow, to study the Soul in the laboratory is not possible. Accordingly, every person has the right personal understanding of the issue.
