We've also had discussions about near death experiences in which the soul leaves the body until the person is revived. So generally religious people believe that when our physical body dies the soul departs that body and goes wherever souls are supposed to go. So here's my question. What would happen to the soul of a person who was vaporized in an atomic blast at Hiroshima or instantly blown to pieces in an explosion? Does the soul just float away without a scratch? If that's the case is a human soul completely indestructable?
The soul is completely indestructible, nothing can harm her.
Ego or Pseudosoul is the projection of our human soul identified with the physical body and the senses.
Yoga is the art of deidentifying the soul with the physical body and the senses by retiring the soul's energy of the 5 senses by meditation.
An advanced yogi will feel his soul as a super strong current of energy vibrating in their spinal cord, he will also feel his chakras vibrating and prana (cosmic energy) running through his body, this state is usually reached with practice and constant meditation.
a person with this kind of perception can feel other's souls too.
I have a little bit of a deeper question. Quantum physics is making pretty bold claims on the ability to "teleport" photons. In fact, it's pretty widely recognizable within the quantum physics world that we should be able to teleport photons from any "Point A" to "Point B". I was listening to a radio talk show the other night in which a rather famous quantum physicist was saying that it would be theoretically possible given due time to teleport a human being. Every memory circuit, cell, neuron, etc... would all be able to be "teleported" if we had the computing power to account for every atom in the body. Given that, and let's say it is theoretically possible, and that there is indeed a soul, would the soul be teleported as well? Or would the "soul" just be a function of the neural circuits in the brain?
Of course, every time I think of teleportation I fail to think of Star Trek but rather Spaceballs in which Mel Brooks' butt was backwards following a teleportation procedure.
Well, I'm fairly new here and on my own personal search for a spiritual connection. I've recently started learning about reincarnation which involves the soul. This is making sense to me. The soul is an energy force that inhabits the physical body, when the body dies the soul leaves and either returns to the universe or decides to cycle again in having a physical body - in other words we never really die. Since the soul is energy it only transfers from one place to another, doesn't get destroyed. It continues to be imprinted with the various energies (emotions, knowledge) of each life it participates in. Ever gone someplace you've never been before and yet you "feel" like your "home", or met someone new that you "feel" like you've "known" for years? This feeling is explained by past lives. This energy you can't touch but you can feel it sometimes - just walk into a prison and you can "feel" the negative energy, likewise walk into a Wiggles concert and you can "feel" the happy energy. It hits you like a wall.
To me the soul and the conscience are one and the same.
I consider people with no conscience, (like serial killers) as people without a soul.
Do you mean consciousness? 'Cause consciousness and conscience are not one and the same.
Anyway .... Soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... a pretty good page on the soul from varying religious/philisophical/spiritual perspectives.
I don't believe in the existence of souls. When we die, there's no conscious or unconscious part of us that continues on -- we're simply dead. It takes your living body with its specific experiences, awareness, and chemical makeup to make the unique person that you are. When it quits, that unique entity is gone, never to return in any manner.

Recycled into the environment as just energy and matter.

You sound so certain. How is that? Just wondering.

I'll answer for her..
The brain is where memories are stored. If death is loss of consciousness, how can you take memories with you after you die?
