The concept of the soul is probably the spongy throughout the Spirituality. If you ask three different spiritual people as to the meaning of soul, then you should not be surprised if you also get three different answers!
avoid this reason I personally use the word "soul." One of my strengths as a spiritual teacher is to be conceptually very clear. Since there is no use to speak of the soul and every person in the room understands something quite different underneath. It is from experience not too practical if you right in the flow of words, and then define first a word must continue to speak before it can be.
So if you have somewhere something about "soul" is reading or listening to, so see or hear very well out in order to find out what is understood by the author or the speaker in "soul".
example is in the books by Neale Donald Walsch meant by "soul" of the divine proportion of the people, "spirit" means all components of the human subtle and "body": the physical body. Thus, at least follows the German translation of one of today's common uses of the words soul, spirit and body. Often, the "soul" but understood our higher being shares in "spirit" of the mind and body "is again the physical body.
The spirit world has used in several channeling the word "soul", but also with different interpretations, depending on which entity has just spoken out.
How did this mess?
The ancient Greeks spoke of Pneuma, Psyche and Soma, which today is often translated with soul, personality and body, but originally was almost identical with the Germanic spirit, soul, body. The Romans spoke of spirit, animus and corpus.
The Greek word "psyche" and derivatives thereof (eg psychology, in German: psychology) are still used today. Again it is about the field of personality, character, etc.
From the Latin "spiritus" is derived apparently our foreign word "spirituality" from. In Christian churches it is called "Spiritus Sanctus", which is translated as "Holy Spirit" and not "holy spirit". From the observations of the ancient Greek and Roman threefold man is therefore apparent that the spirit, the spirit that originally the term was supreme being and the psyche, the soul, the link between mind and body. See, for example also: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichotomie . There, look under "anthropology".
Although spoken by misunderstandings and forgeries before the Council of Constantinople in 869 / 70 only on the dichotomy of the two-division of the people was, was there the trichotomy finally condemned as blasphemous, the spirit has been deleted as being part and there were only left over soul and body. The soul now had to serve for everything Subtle. See, for example also: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viertes_Konzil_von_Konstantinopel .
(Digression: "Wikipedia" is a pure Illuminati Site All interesting and controversial truths are there denied So I can not this site always recommend, when it comes to at least seemingly harmless recognized themes, then you can Wikipedia some!.. Figures refer to deliver to the interested reader clues for your own further research, or at least show what the human collective in this case assumed to be true, even if the truth one is quite another.)
About a good man existed thousands of years by common perception only of soul and body. In modern times, with the advent of what we call today to science, although this hardly provides true knowledge, was the intellect, the mind of man and his personality more and more into focus of attention.
religious basis of the adoption, after which the man of soul and body and the soul is the subject of purely religious contemplation is focused exclusively on medicine, first the body with fatal consequences to this day. One could not help but noted that there still was something that has meaning for modern man. And that the mind and personality, that science was called in reference to the old true Greek threefold now "Psyche" and their science "psychology" are.
This resulted in the absurdity that the Christian religion to this day speaks only of soul and body and also the science of intellect and psyche, these two, due to their materialistic outlook and the former Alleinigkeitsanspruchs the churches on the concept of the soul, mind and personality as functions of the brain, therefore, be considered the body.
is the modern spirituality ("unfortunately") this obvious nonsense now and has followed only taken up the mind and inserted as the "spirit" between soul and body and therefore often speaks of soul, mind and body, although it was originally called spirit, soul and body.
