It's only the way I see it, and wha I choose to believe. But I think that our soul is our spirit self. And do we know we have one, I think we do, and I also think that it talks to us, it's the inner voice, it guides us, if we listen to it. I think it is what we feel in our hearts as how it communicates with us. That is the one reason I say I will always listen to my heart over my head. The way I see it the mind knows what it is tought it knows only what it see's. It works with reason and fact. The heart is your soul your spirit. I believe it knows everything. I believe that the spirit was here long before we were.
I also believe it is the explanation as to why we can meet someone and dislike them before they even speak. Or that we all in love with someone long before the mind will accept it. Because I spirit already knew there spirit there higher self. It's why your heart tells you one thing and your mind says different. Your mind governs your thinking it can only prossess fact and reason, your heart, your soul, your spirit, governs your emotion. 'Your heart knows what you want, what you need, and at times who long before your mind could ever comprehend.
Yes I believe we have a soul or spirit, and I believe we know it's there as we seem to find ways to communicate with it. And yes it does exist outside of our bodies, it was here before our body and will be here long after.
This is JMO for what ever it is worth.
