Exploring the Science of the Soul

This document discusses the existence and nature of the soul through various scientific, philosophical, and religious perspectives. It provides evidence for the soul's existence through consciousness, past life memories, and the fact that something within a person continues after death of the body. It explores what ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita say about the soul being eternal, imperishable, and transmigrating between bodies. Modern science is seen as only analyzing the body's physical components but missing the most important non-physical soul within.

As the embodied soul


continuously passes, in
this body, from
boyhood to youth to old
age, the soul similarly
passes into another

For the soul there is neither


birth nor death at any time.
He has not come into being,
does not come into being,
and will not come into being.
He is unborn, eternal, everexisting and primeval. He is
not slain when the body is
Bhagavad - gt 2.20
slain.

This individual soul is


unbreakable and insoluble,
and can be neither burned
nor dried. He is everlasting,
present everywhere,
unchangeable, immovable
