soul is a soul is a soul

I may not believe in gods, nor an afterlife, but I've heard soul.

Johnny,

everything is energy, even the air around us. If you wave your arms fast enough, run fast enough, you can feel the air's force. It's all connected, we're all connected. The animals have eyes, ears, mouths, legs and so on, just as people and many living things do. We cannot dismiss a bird or an animal from having a soul. They feel pain, they communicate with each other, just as we do.

Everything is energy, whether built one way or manipulated another naturally. Scientists can give facts or proof of many things, but they cannot give facts and proof of everything. Why does a heart beat? A doctor may tell you because of it's parts. But when you get down to asking why each part exists, why does it have such properties? What is each part made of, that makes it do it's unique wonders? If you go deeper and deeper, what's any thing made of, and why does it do certain functions? Scientists can only go so far, then they leave it up "That's just the way things are. We can only work with things that are."

And so, if we're all good to each other, respect the earth, the skies, mother nature, the living things of this world, everything is better for everyone, for all earth."

Do Animals Have Souls?

We are in an unfathomable Energy/Matter/Space-Time/Quantum Matrix....We are part of this - is a lifeforce a "soul"...?

Maybe when we die, our Energy is "re-absorbed" into that Matrix (to come out as something completely different and not necessarily "connected" through "identity". Anyway, one person's guess is as good as another's concerning this sort of thing. I'll leave you with a quote from one (who was) considerably more intelligent than myself:
