The soul is an eternal spirit, the immaterial part of Man that is immortal. The spiritual essence of a human being, the soul, resides within our hearts; where it guides our conscious thoughts. The soul is not some form of energy but instead a Divine link to the Creator; and the seat of human intellect, will, and individuality. Emotions are filtered through the soul for compassion, love, and forgiveness. God did not create Man and put a soul into Him, like a battery into a robot. No, God formed a body from dust, and then, by breathing Divine Breath into it, He made that body of dust live; whereas it became a soul - a whole creature.
