Soul Existence

Original Post: May 30, 2025

The soul isn’t merely a concept we invented...

It is the name we have given to an intangible structure consistently encountered at the root of personal identity. Across historical periods and cultural frameworks, this construct recurs, not because it is empirically verifiable, but because it serves as a necessary anchor for the continuity of selfhood. Its immateriality is not a limitation of the concept, but intrinsic to its function.

In contemporary discourse, “consciousness” appears to serve as an analogue to what antiquity understood as the soul: an irreducible interior presence that resists full explanation yet demands acknowledgment.

The very persistence of this concept, with its centrality in both metaphysical and psychological accounts, suggests it reflects more than a cultural illusion.

Love. Be confident. Create. Grow.
