Hello all.

I've been thinking about this question for quite a while... If Human's have souls then does that mean every other living organism like animals, plants, and extraterrestrials have souls too? What do you guys think?
 
Humans are born with an inner integrated system that anticipates needs, repairs psychological wounds, guides behavior, protects the self, all of this without conscious awareness. This system is not one thing--it is a network--that behaves exactly like the intuitive "inner nucleus" Science defines this "core" as the implicit self-system "the deep, pre-verbal layer of identity formed through early attachment, safety, and rational patterns that tracks
1. what feels safe
2. what feels threatening
3. what you need
4. what you are allowed to want
"iT" operates automatically, like a background operating system

The predictive brain-yoou brain brain constantly runs models of;
who you are
what you value
what you are capable of
'what you should avoid
These predictions shape your behavior before you are even aware of them
It's not mystical-It's astonishing sophisticated human trait

The "self-repair" network-The brain has built-in mechanisms for;
Emotional regulation
Trauma integration
Meaning-making
Restoring equilibrium even in sleep, the is repairing itself.

The narrative self; This is the part that constructs a coherent story about your life. It updates your identity, goals, and sense of purpose

Why this feels like a soul?
Because this system;
knows things before you consciously know them
it nudges you toward growth
protects your dignity
pushes you toward authenticity
repairs you in the background
reveals insights suddenly, as if from nowhere
It feels like a "core essence" because it is the integrator of your entire life. It is not supernatural---it is deeply human.

Does the soul exist?

The religious soul is a supernatural, immortal essence that survives death, given by a deity. This version is tied directly to religious traditions. Science cannot confirm or deny it. It functions as a belief, not an empirical entity.

The philosophical soul; A term for the core of personhood--consciousness, identity, agency, moral will. This version does not require religion. It's a way of naming the inner center of experience.

The psychological soul. Not a supernatural entity, but a functional core of the human mind that;
integrates your experiences
protects your dignity
repairs emotional wounds
generates intuition
guides your development
expresses your authentic needs
This is the real, measurable, and observable in neuroscience and psychology--even though it is not a single organ.

The psyche and the nervous system— and the consolidation of intellectual property within a *Homo sapiens* entity—as a form of development rooted in the capacity for self-invention, you are breathing life into this endeavor through your significant compilation and an interactive perspective; may a just nobility be your companion.
 
Only animals have souls. ;_;

Define Soul for me please.

An individual soul (jīva) appears separate only because of ignorance (avidyā) and cosmic illusion (māyā). This ignorance causes the mind and ego to identify with a temporary physical body.

And this is Duality thinking.
 
I think but don't know for sure because of the way humans think, humans may be the only species to imagine or think of having a soul? Do other world species in life think this way? Dolphins are said to be intelligent, as well as possibly primates, but do think in this manner? Don't know.

Ever seen an animal or pet about to die?
They KNOW Death is coming & prepare in their best way to face it, I cannot accept anyone who's been witness to their pet dog about to die that the animal has no idea it's about to leave it's body & they clearly "know" in some way they have a Soul, all you gotta do is look into their eyes in the last hour of Life to know for sure.
 
I've witnessed pets dying, can't say that I interpreted death in their eyes the same as you. Not saying you are wrong by any means, just it wasn't the same for as it was for you.
 
Kedimiz düşmüştü 5. Kattan aşağı hızlı bir şekilde veterinere götürülmüştüm ön ayakları kırılmıştı aslında Siyam kedileri şeklinde denk gelipçifleştirmek için dişi bir kedi. Erkek ev sahibeliğini üstmiş bizim cins uçuşlarında herkesin anlayışlı insanların karı koca evli bir çift hiç kızgınlık göstermeden son derece anlayışla hızlar kalbi hızla atıyor korku içinde belli strese maruz kaldığı ölüm atan her kalp için yük tür teşekür etmek istemiş aileye burada bulunan demirlere rastlayan son anda gördüm hayir dememize düşmediğine sevinmek anlıyışla karşılanmaki rahatladılar. Selam Mavi ışık ailesi saygı ve Selam olsun
 
Our cat fell 5. I was quickly taken to the vet from the floor to the vet, his forelegs were broken, in fact, a cat to come along and coincide in the form of Siamese cats. On our breed of flights, who have taken over the male hostship, an understanding couple of people who are married, speeds with extremely understanding without showing any anger, their heart is rapidly beating, and they were relieved to be welcomed to the family that every death that is being subjected to certain stress in fear, to see the irons here at the last moment that we saw no sign of saying no. Hey Blue Light Family respect and Greetings

nothing feels the same way. WE CAN'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE NOT TALKED
Not sure I understand what you are saying? Are you saying "they are welcomed to the family in an existential sort of way? Don't understand "to see the irons here at last moment? What does that mean?
 
I should think that one would require an agreed apon definition of what a soul is before one could even start discussing if something has a soul. There are many definitions, all of them valid while being different.

I believe that every life form has a soul. Can I define what a soul is? No, of course not. There's so many species of life on the planet, it boggles the mind.

Things like tornadoes are definitely life forms. I can't count the times I've seen them change course when someone stops to film them. Especially that EF-5 which occurred in Joplin, Missouri 2011. And the MASSIVE twister in El Reno, Oklahoma 2013. That thing switched course and killed several prominent storm chasers. No way was that accidental.

Do tornadoes follow the laws of fluid dynamics or make conscious decisions regarding their path?
 
what a soul is
We don't have one. Or we have one now !!! It's all good. We can only have faith.

I almost died laughing at @Illyria99 's story. I don't even know how to react to it.
