A soul exists so long as body chemistry remains alive. A soul is described as the spiritual part of a human being that is believed to be immortal. Immortality is eternal life. How is a soul supposed to be eternal when the host body dies?
One might argue that an individual's soul is kept alive in the minds of those who knew and remembered them while they were alive. A person's soul might be recalled by the artifacts that they leave behind. Some of the artifacts might be physical while others might be ideas.
There is a notion that soulful energy may remain intact after death as it moves freely around the universe. Some might argue that power dies and is otherwise dispersed upon death. It simply goes away.
Could it be that human beings are so close to answering these questions that they cannot comprehend their presence?
Step back to create a context for human life and existence.
The universe as we know it is infinite in all directions, and we may not be aware of all of the possible dimensions. It is microscopic. It is macroscopic. It is also kaleidoscopic all at once.
All living things begin with seeds of life from which organisms have a birth and a lifecycle. Some propagate successfully to create offspring. Others do not. In both instances, human beings will be remembered by someone and more for who they are or were. In that sense, individual souls may be remembered on merit.
A spirit is said to be the nonphysical dimension of a person. Its contents are emotions and character at a minimum. Spirits are brought to life and kept alive when other living persons remember their individual embodiment, for better or for worse.
