Unique singular soul
More actions
The concept of a "Unique singular soul" is one of many types of souls. Duplicatable multiple soul is another type of soul concept. Since there is no way or has beenno way to find souls there is only speculation of their existence and their properties. If souls were to exist there might be many different kinds of souls. A person might have many different kinds of souls attached to their body with many different properties. Simplicity and desire is what determines what properties that we give souls. Many people desire a unique singular soul that can bridge the gap of death and an after life in another body or in a spiritual world. The science of superimmortality predicts that we will not find souls except in our imagination or produced in an imaginary reality created by an experience machine, so we can not determine properties of things that either do not exist or can not be scientifically studied.
A unique singular soul usually has these following properties. A person has one and only one soul. It disconnects from the body at or around death. A person's soul is unique in the sense that no one else has it or can have it. It is supposed to connect (eventually) to either another body or exist in a spiritual world after the death of the body. The soul is not consciousness, or the body but is necessary for the body to produce a consciousness that you experience. This kind of soul is supposed to have supernatural properties that only god like beings can control. This brings up the issue of did god create souls and their properties or did souls and their properties exist independently of gods and they has figured out how to control them to some extent? Are gods conscious and do they have souls?
Superimmortality does not require the existence of souls or gods to produce conscious existence again for anyone after death. The principles of superimmortality allows people to control what they will experience in the future before and after death without any need for gods, souls, or other supernatural controlling factors. The connecting concepts of superimmortality are ixperiencitness and the structure and functioning of matter.
