"Soul" is a nebulous word thrown around in western circles because we really don't know a lot about consciousness as a culture. It's a very imprecise word. The consciousness-principle acts as a morphogenetic field guiding the unfoldment of the human after the initial sperm-egg fusion. The consciousness-principle is there from the beginning, but does not enter it's new home until the fetal heart begins beating. ------------------------ Yahoo!
