So I have been pondering the past few days about what a soul is considered to be and if a soul is limited to only humans. When I think about us humans I don't simply see flesh and bones we have emotions and feelings and senses that are not simply intuition and we can become very passionate about things like a raging fire. Now science says this comes from the brain and this maybe true but I wonder if the soul has more to do with it than anything?
I have heard it said that animals don't have souls but seeing how so many animals have such unique traits and personalities and have such a diverse set of quirks it seems odd to me for them to just be a life form that is simply alive but not having a soul itself that sounds more like a robot to me. Aside from that I have been wondering about where the soul itself resides, some say the brain and I suppose I can see why some would think that but if i had to say from my own opinion I would say it resides in our mid section almost like it's in a realm within the body that cannot be seen by the human eye kind of like how the holy spirit resides in us like that. I mean for me at least when I feel him alive in me it is always in my mid section and so based on that I think maybe our soul is the same manner.
I also have wondered what our soul really is, I could be wrong but I feel that it is our true selves it is who we really and truly are in the deepest depth not having anything to do with our physical appearance or our faults or anything that we are lacking in or not but who we are when God knew us before creation.
So what is soul really? and is it limited only to the human race?
