Our hope of immortality does not come from any religion, but nearly all religions come from that hope. Robert Green Ingersoll
(1833-1899).
I am a hopeless materialist. I see the soul as nothing more than the sum of activities of the organism plus personal habits—plus inherited habits, memories, experiences, of the organism. I believe that when I am dead I am dead. I believe that with my death, I am just as much obliterated as the last mosquito you and I squashed. Jack London (1876-1916).
Soul is the generative spark of the Divine, The Universal Source Of All Life (USOAL). It is the blueprint for your authentic self. Its force is inward towards self-knowledge and discipline, upward to spirit and self-knowing, and outward through learning, growing and self-realization. Gayle Swift The 32 Keys (2012)

"Let us, on both sides, lay aside all arrogance. Let us not, on either side, claim that we have already discovered the truth. Let us seek it together as something which is known to neither of us. For then only may we seek it, lovingly and tranquilly, if there be no bold presumption that it is already discovered and possessed." Saint Augustine (354-430 C.E.)
