Where in a human body is the soul located?

Physical Location Of A Human Soul:

• Your soul is your conscience. Your conscience is energy which has no form or location. This energy is part of the whole universe. The meaning of life is to evolve your conscience to higher consciousness which is the source of all existence.

• The soul of each individual person is located in the heart. It is not visible to human eyes. It is the secret of GOD creation and it is invisible. Feelings is because of the present of the soul in our body. When one body is not functioning/death the soul will leave the body and this visible world and the soul which originally already have feelings will feel what is ahead of it in the next/soul world. What scientist believe that the aura of a man remain as his original figure even a man lost his legs but could feel his legs itchy is truth cause one soul was in perfect figure without any damage even if his body is cripple, blind, etc. Soul is from GOD and it should return back to GOD.

• The aura is your soul. It encircles the entire body and is held there by electrical forces. When a person dies the electrical force weakens and the aura will drift away from the body upon death. Our auras change with our moods. If angry we can have bright red auras, sad we can have blues with black specks, etc. It's our auras that can clash with another persons and we either don't like that person or we do like them. It's a proven fact we all have one and it can be seen if done right. There are actual classes one can go too to learn this method. The wonderful thing about auras is some scientists are beginning to realize they can see where something is wrong with the body by studying the aura. If the aura is broken in a certain part of the body then that is where the problem lies. The aura is around the complete shape of a human, animal, and every living things including trees and plants. If you go onto www.google.com and type in: All about auras ... you'll realize just how it's proven. One test was a wide leaf was cut in half. When one looked at it under normal light the leaf was half a leaf, but under certain conditions the aura was at the end of the leaf in the same shape as before and therefore, the leaf was really totally there. Many soldiers that lost a leg in the war would complain that their leg was itchy or hurt, yet doctors thought this was psychological. In reality the leg is still there because the shape of the leg (aura) is there! Some of us have read about people seeing bright lights, an angel with a glow around them, etc. When a person dies they are approximately 7 lbs. lighter, but some doctors and scientists will argue the fact that it's the release of body fluids. Some people dying will smile and reach out to someone or something, while others just drift off into an never ending sleep and they're peaceful. Indeed there is proof that doctors and scientists are second-guessing the idea that we do indeed have a soul. After a person dies in the hospital the body is left one hour to give the soul time to pass. Why? If you are a non believer then why bother to leave a body for one hour after passing? My mother died 2 years ago and I was shocked to find out that even the funeral homes wait 3 days (this is in British Columbia) before preparing the body for cremation or burial. Part of it is to be sure the soul has gone, and part of it is to be sure the person is deceased as there have been a few cases where the person was not actually dead, but the heart was beating at such a low pace it was not picked up by the monitor. People who have had near-death experiences have often been declared dead on the operating table or in the hospital room, but when they regain consciousness they can tell the doctor and nurses exactly what they saw them do to try to save their lives. At first doctors and scientists wanted us to believe that it was only the brain reacting to the lack of oxygen and hallucinations, but they're singing a different song now. Since the brain is the least studied organ of the body, more and more scientists are realizing what a magnificent piece of circuit board it actually is and there is much to learn from it. Scientist or any of us cannot rule out the fact we do have soul because we know so little about the brain. I certainly believe we have souls.

• It exists in your thoughts, ideals and actions.

• Your soul is you, the forever you. You can never die. It's not thought of - to be dead from all existence. You live forever. The soul is located by pinpointing your thoughts and desires. You know where your soul is by observing what kind of master you follow.

• You are your soul. You are an immortal spiritual being. The spirit has no mass or wavelength or location in space except by consideration. As such it is usually located in the head, but may also be located outside the body.

• Here's the bad news. The "soul" is a series of electrical impulses. When you die, those impulses flow to earth to rejoin the universal energy reservoir. The concept of an immortal soul is an ancient one proposed by primitive peoples . Because they had developed consciousness, they believed that this was some separate entity, held within the container of their physical being. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no scientific evidence to show anything of the sort. And I mean scientific in the widest possible sense i.e. something which can be independently verified, or an "experience" which can be replicated.

• The Baghavad Gita tells us the soul is "one hundredth of one hundredth of the width of a human hair". Your hair is c.300 molecules wide. It is reasonable to conclude the Vedic wisdom points to electricity- more specifically the electron. Such matter cannot be captured. It cannot be located since it can move freely and instantaneously throughout your body's electrical field. Some writings (Vedic and otherwise) locate the soul at the base of the brain. This conclusion has been reached because this area is the hub of your electrical activity and disciplined individuals have detected the soul (or perhaps just electrons) passing most frequently there.

• Your soul is the breath of life that GOD breathed into you. Your spirit is that spark of GOD HIMSELF that HE placed in your soul that is life.

• The pineal gland, which is in the geometric center of the brain, has been called "the seat of the soul" by Descartes. It is directly behind the eyes, hence the biblical saying "the eyes are the windows to the soul". Whether or not the soul actually resides there, or if there is such a thing as a soul is certainly a matter of some debate.

• Your soul fills your entire body. Your spirit looks just like you do now. Heavenly Father has a physical form like yours and we are made in his image. We existed in a in a mortal form in a life with our Father in Heaven who is the father of your spirit.

• The Bible teaches us that the soul is the emotions and intellect and is eternal. A person is made up of body, soul and spirit. It's quite easy to figure out the body, but the soul and spirit are a little more elusive. King David talked to his soul quite often in the book of Psalms. "Rejoice in the Lord, O my soul", and so on. Read Psalms and you'll get a pretty good understanding of the soul. The spirit of man lies dormant until we ask Jesus to come into our life, then the spirit becomes active, also, and that empty feeling you have felt will disappear.

• Most scientists deny that a "soul" even exists in physical form. The concept of a "soul" has its roots in many places, all of them are religions.

• As emotionally compelling of an idea as a soul may be, there is absolutely no evidence what-so-ever that a soul exists outside the cognitive functions of the human brain.

• The soul is the energetic composition of the universe. I believe that everything is inter-connected through energy and that theory is backed up by Quantum physics and Quantum Mechanics as well. To say that the soul is a separate thing from the physical body would be a statement made by someone who has no knowledge on the subject. The soul is the imprint that makes the body, it is the energetic essence and power that hold and shape the physical world, and universe.

• Humans have 3 parts: spirit, soul, body. Your soul consists of your intellect, emotions. Soul and spirit separate from body at physical death to go to Heaven or Hell [torments in Greek]. Have you been born again?

• No human can know for sure. God knows, but mortals don't. Some people deny the existence of souls, but I believe that we each have one.

• The final authority on the subject of the soul is the Bible. Many men will tell you what their opinion is, or what they have been taught by tradition, and there are viewpoints that people have held for centuries, but the Bible is where we find real information. What does the Bible say that helps us to understand what the soul is? Gen. 2:7: 'Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.' (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered 'soul' is ne′phesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering. RS, JB, NAB read 'being.' NE says 'creature.' Kx reads 'person.') 1:Cor. 15:45: 'It is even so written: 'The first man Adam became a living soul.' (The Greek word here translated 'soul' is the accusative case of psy'khe′. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read 'soul.' RS, NE, and TEV say 'being.') 1:Pet. 3:20: 'In Noah's days .' a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.' (The Greek word here translated 'souls' is psy'khai′, the plural form of psy'khe′. KJ, AS, Dy, and Kx also read 'souls.' JB and TEV say 'people'; RS, NE, and NAB use �persons.�) Gen. 9:5: 'Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, 'lives'; Hebrew, from ne′phesh] 'shall I ask back.' (Here the soul is said to have blood.) Josh. 11:11: 'They went striking every soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword.' (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.) So a living human doesn't HAVE a soul, he IS a soul. The soul breaths and has blood. The soul is not something within the person, but it is the living person himself. The Bible also says that animals ARE souls. Gen. 1:20,21,24,25: God went on to say: 'Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls' ... and God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. ... and God went on to say: 'Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds ... and God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind.' (*In Hebrew the word here is ne′phesh. Ro reads 'soul.' Some translations use the rendering 'creature[s].') Lev. 24:17,18: 'In case a man strikes any soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] of mankind fatally, he should be put to death without fail. And the fatal striker of the soul [Hebrew, ne′phesh] of a domestic animal should make compensation for it, soul for soul.' (Notice that the same Hebrew word for soul is applied to both mankind and animals.) Rev. 16:3: 'It became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died, yes, the things in the sea.' (Thus the Christian Greek Scriptures also show animals to be souls.) (*In Greek the word here is psy'khe′. KJ, AS, and Dy render it 'soul.' Some translators use the term 'creature' or 'thing.') Notice what scholars of different faiths have recognized about the Bible's use of the word 'soul.' There is no dichotomy [division] of body and soul in the Old] Testament]. The Israelite saw things concretely, in their totality, and thus he considered men as persons and not as composites. The term nepe [ne′phesh], though translated by our word soul, never means soul as distinct from the body or the individual person. The term [psy�khe′] is the N[ew] Testament] word corresponding with nepe�. It can mean the principle of life, life itself, or the living being. New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), Vol. XIII,�pp.�449, 450. The Hebrew term for 'soul' (nefesh, that which breathes) was used by Moses ... signifying an 'animated being' and applicable equally to nonhuman beings. New Testament usage of psychē ('soul') was comparable to nefesh. The New Encyclopedia Britannica (1976), Macrop�dia, Vol. 15, p. 152. The belief that the soul continues its existence after the dissolution of the body is a matter of philosophical or theological speculation rather than of simple faith, and is accordingly nowhere expressly taught in Holy Scripture. The Jewish Encyclopedia (1910), Vol. VI, p. 564. Ezek. 18:4: 'Look! All the souls to me they belong. As the soul of the father so likewise the soul of the son to me they belong.' The 'soul* that is sinning it itself will die. (*Hebrew reads �the ne′phesh. KJ, AS, RS, NE, and Dy render it 'the soul.' Some translations say 'the man' or 'the person.') The Bible is clear. The soul is the living, breathing person himself or the living animal itself. The soul is NOT immortal, it can die. When the being dies, the soul ceases to exist. The person then exists in God's memory to await a possible resurrection. Jesus said at John 5:28, "all the those in the memorials tombs will here his voice, and come out..." Paul further said at Act 24:15, that "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." The word resurrection literally means to raise up, a bringing back to life from the dead. A bringing back to life from lifelessness. In order to resurrect someone, they would truly have to be dead, lifeless. At Genesis 3:19, God told Adam, that "from dust you are, and to dust you will return." So Death for humans is literally a return to the same state of nonexistence that they were in before they existed. When a person dies, his soul dies, and he ceases to exist. Psalms 146:4 says that when a person dies, "his thoughts do perish." All future life prospects are in God's hands. It is up to God to restore life, to restore the soul to a person, as he has promised to do.

• In Genesis 2:7 God made man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. It is very clear that the person (himself) is the soul while he is alive. Look at 1st Corinthians. 15:45. Adam was made a living soul. And again at 1st Peter 3:20, it says about Noah that God saved 8 souls. Scripture doesn't lie but people do because they believe what men teach rather then what God does. It is very clear that the human soul is the person himself. All of God's creation, birds, animals, fish, etc, are spoken of as living souls. Even Jesus used the expression of his being his soul in Matt 12: 18 and the apostle Paul in Heb 10: 38.
  

• The soul is located in your head. You are a three-part being: 1. You are a Spirit 2. You live in a Body 3. You have a Mind (will, and emotions) The third element is the "soul." The spirit is another aspect, and often these two terms are confused. To clear this up, the Spirit is located in the heart of man, where the breath of life enters and provides life to the rest of the body and mind. Being three-dimensional means having inter connectivity to all parts. One part performs to aid the other part in its operation. Your soul is the realm which contains your senses, stores knowledge, wisdom, discernment, perception, and discretion. The soul is where free-will is governed and where all emotional facets originate; this is the most distinguished part of man.

• Something like free-will doesn't exist since the meaning contradicts itself. So, why do Christians still believe in something called free-will?
  
• The Biblical foundation for this reflects symmetry in the construction of the Temple and its correlation with the human body (1 Corinthians 6:19 - your body is the Temple of God). There are three major aspects: 1. The Inner Court 2. The Outer Court 3. The Most Holy Place. The Outer Court held the altar of sacrifice; the Inner Court was called "The Holy Place" which contained the lamp stands which continually burned, the twelve loaves of bread, and the incense altar; and of course the Most Holy Place contained the Ark of the Covenant with the Ten Commandments and Aaron's staff. These parallel with the body. The Outer Court is where sacrifice represents our physical body, where Jesus also fulfilled the role of "the lamb that was slain;" the Inner Court, or the Holy Place, represents the spirit man, containing light, the bread of life or the Word of God, and the prayers offered up as incense. Lastly, the Most Holy Place, is the head, the mind, or the soul. All thoughts take place in the mind, and more so than not, they are corrupt. The mind hardly seems like the holiest place, yet the head is the government on our shoulders, representing every motion, judgment, and creative power we express. However, the spirit within us gives us life, and causes us to work, and function. Obviously, the body contains these elements and restores and regenerates until bodily death. The spirit part can be "made righteous" or "without blame" while the soul contains all the memories of sin, willful disobedience, and corruption. The soul needs to be in direct communication with purity. In the Old Testament, people did not communicate with God from their heart, the priest went into the Temple to atone for sins in the Most Holy Place. This place was divided from the Holy Place by an enormous curtain, which was torn in half when Christ said, "It is finished!" He paid the price so God could indwell mankind, tearing down the barrier that separated man from God: sin. Now we are free to communicate with God with all our heart, mind, and being. In conclusion, the soul is (to most people's surprise), The Most Holy Place, the mind.

• 2 Corinthians 10:5 - casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing ever thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

• Philippians 2:5 - Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

• I am a Christian, and yes, we are born with free will. The free will is to either choose good vs evil and that is one thing God gave us. We know right from wrong no matter how small the subject of the matter is. We have the free will to live our lives to the fullest and do good, or cheat, steal, murder and live a life of evil. We can put money before human kindness or that person can have much money and do good with some of it. We have the choice of being healers (doctors, nurses) or teaching, being Ministers, Priests, etc., and on and on it goes, but we are still that tool and have chosen to do good towards our fellow man. It can be as simple as feeding a hungry person or giving a child an education whose parents can't afford to give them one. We can reach out to other parts of the world and help our fellow man there as well. The sky is the limit (no pun intended.) Christians know they are a tool of God and just because some may not be wealthy, have great power in society, etc., does not mean this has anything to do with free will. We all have different places in life and we can be rich in mind and spirit, yet the greatest thing is to give of oneself from the heart. The Bible is on the TOP of the 'Best Seller List' so that proves that all people can't be brain washed into believing in God and that He does exist.

• Your soul can also be viewed as the ability of your body to tap into the universal zero point field. simply speaking, this is the ever-present field of constantly shifting positive-and-negative charge filling the entire universe. It is called the zero-point field because, until recently, all scientists simply factored it out of their quantum equations believing the random fluctuation of charge to even itself out to zero. Anyway, point being, systemic universal memory theory offers the intriguing theory and supporting logic that our DNA is tuned to this universal energy source and that, by our definition of life, this energy source can be said to be living and remembering. I was delighted to read this theory connecting science with faith. I am not a religious person. Religion to me means church and doctrine. Faith to me is the belief in the great awesomeness of being alive and everything that entails. Included in my faith is belief that I always have been and always will be cared for by my higher power. I also believe that all things are tuned into what many would call "God". Your DNA can be said to be not only your blueprint, but your antennae to the divine, and as such I would consider this to be my soul- the thing that connects me to everything, everywhere and everywhen. In this sense, there is no inside and outside and no death. This is a paraphrase of the answer that has brought a wonderful sense of peace into my life.

• The human soul, that which is given to us by God while everything else consists of physical matter, is a piece of God so to speak. Let's think of ourselves as a bunch of little battery operated toys and the manufacturer is like the host. Our plastic bodies are the physical vessels created by the host to allow us to be apart of the rest of the world; we have all the moving parts, circuit boards, sensors, etc., necassary for a successful relationship with the physical world. But we aren't going to do much with out a power source or a battery. The battery is the soul, put inside us to make us go. Every reference to God as the light and God being in everything, has led me to one thing: energy. Light is eternal, such as God is, and light is made up of photons (which never ages because they travel through space at the speed of light, so they stand still within the dimension of time) and photons are just little bundles of energy. Energy is the one thing that is in everything just as God is. Energy is also the one thing that has been here since the beginning and has not changed not even the amount (the Law of Conservation of Energy). Infact all matter is really just concentrated energy; protons, neutrons, and electrons which make up cells. The aura, which a lot of people are beginning to believe is the soul, is actually the spirit which is something else. In my research I see three interlying circles; a little circle surrounded by a bigger circle which is surrounded by yet an even bigger circle. You see it everywhere especially in nature; the human eye, the layers of a cell, the formed layers of any planet capable of sustaining life (crust, mantle, and core), and etc. So I see it as, the soul is the center,then the spirit, then the body. All forms of energy but, formed differently. I see the body as concentrated energy formed as a vessel to protect and carry the soul and spirit. I see the soul as the purest form of energy that resides within us keeping us linked to the source. The spirit on the other hand I see as the event horizon between the two, a kind of a filter from physical to purity (pure energy) and visa versa. I believe the conscience, the realm of right and wrong that existed before any human's first lesson from mommy and daddy, resides in the soul. The personality; a persons state of mind and our decision making constitutions, aswell as how we react to our external enviroments(our physical world) and our internal enviroment (our soul), resides in the spirit. Emotion has nothing to do with our souls or it may but, no more than the dust on my coffee table effects the coffee table (too many bad emotions can dirty the soul but, it's easy to clean off). Emotions are chemical changes in the brain and body to help us interact with our physical world and that's pretty much as far as their influences go. We need to understand that God existed within a realm and then created this realm that we live in. A physical world of gathered, organized(kind of), and concentrated energy. As to why our Lord did this, I or any of us may never know but; we need to understand that this is a physical world bounded by physical rules. Magic or the supernatural does not exist, therfore I do not believe that there is some hidden area of the brain or heart that contains this fantastic glowing orb we typically think of as our soul. Now don't take me as a robot, there is magic, but that has to do more with your personal relationship with your Lord and each other, not to mention the untapped source of power we can pull from each other, for example: A friend going and fighting to no end for someone because of a few simple words such as loyalty and honor. We create the magic, God just gave us what we needed to make it. It seems I have tried to dull the radiant and beautiful shine of the soul and what it is, by explaining that there is nothing supernatural about it. You see something seen as supernatural is really just something that can't be explained yet. So yeah; it does take away from the magical perspective, but that is only because we have become comfortable and use to how science explains our world. If you would just step back outside the box and look at everything together as a whole, every little complicated system of energy and elements integrated into every other system you would see what I see. A gorgeous, magnificent and complex universal work of art created from and of the source, our GOD. There is nothing more beautiful. Dustin Shane
  

• The soul, by definition, is which is actually you. You can direct your attention to a body part. You can also recall a memory. If you will take a few moments to recall a pleasant or pleasurable memory, a few moments to recall some of the details such as your body's position, the time of day, colors, perhaps sounds and so forth, you might get a fairly clear picture. OK, then where is that picture located. Who is looking at it. And where are you looking at it from? The location you are looking at it from is your location.

• You don't have a separated soul ... you are a soul because your whole body is the soul.

• The soul is located behind the nose just beneath the eyes. We are rather tiny spheres of energy that "wear" the human body till it's time to go back to our real lifes (on the otherside) and process and study the events of our human lifes. This ball of energy resides in our heads and this is confirmed by individuals who've had NDEs. People who have had Near Death Experiences say that they "went out" through their heads and came back through their heads.

• The "soul" is a metaphysical concept. To ask for a physical location of or attempt to locate, prove, or create a concise definition of a metaphysical concept is illogical. All we can really do is share our personal comprehension of Spirit in an attitude of Love. This will help us in our search for Truth and others will be helped if they are honestly seeking Truth.
