Soul, in all religion and philosophy, (other than Hinduism) often
considered to be synonymous with the *mind or the self*. All equate soul as
not “Vedic soul” but In theology, the soul is further defined as that part
of the individual (I which is EGO in Hinduism) which partakes of divinity
and often is considered to survive the death of the body. Abstract term
Mind is considered as soul. Some relate it to Life.
Many cultures have recognized some incorporeal principle of human life
or existence corresponding to the soul, and many have attributed souls to
all living things. There is evidence even among prehistoric peoples of a
belief in an aspect distinct from the body and residing in it. Despite
widespread and longstanding belief in the existence of a soul, however,
different religions and philosophers have developed a variety of theories
as to its nature, its relationship to the body, and its origin and
mortality.
1 Christianity: The immortality of the soul: Human beings seem always to
have had some notion of a shadowy double that survives the death of the
body. Christian concepts of a body-soul dichotomy originated with the
ancient Greeks and were introduced into Christian theology at an early date
by St. Gregory of Nyssa and by St. Augustine.
In Christian theology St. Augustine spoke of the soul as a “rider”
on the body, making clear the split between the material and the
immaterial, with the soul representing the “true” person. However, although
body and soul were separate, it was not possible to conceive of a soul
without its body. In the Middle Ages, St. Thomas Aquinas returned to the
Greek philosophers’ concept of the soul as a motivating principle of the
body, independent but requiring the substance of the body to make an
individual.
2 Both the Egyptians and the Chinese conceived of a dual soul. The
Egyptian “ka” (breath) survived death but remained near the body, while the
spiritual “ba” proceeded to the region of the dead.
3 The Chinese distinguished between a lower, sensitive soul, which
disappears with death, and a rational principle, “the hun”, which survives
the grave and is the object of ancestor worship.
4 Hebrews apparently had a concept of the soul but did not separate it
from the body, ( soul and body together) although later Jewish writers
developed the idea of the soul further. Biblical references to the soul are
related to the concept of breath and establish no distinction between
the “ethereal
soul and the corporeal body”.
5 Ancient Greek concepts of the soul varied considerably according to the
particular era and philosophical school.(Variable) The Epicureans considered
the soul to be made up of atoms like the rest of the body. For the
Platonists, the soul was an immaterial and incorporeal substance, akin to
the gods yet part of the world of change and becoming ( at that time Greece
had Indian connections so took a portion of the Hindu Philosophy of the
Upanishads). Aristotle’s conception of the soul was obscure, though he
did state
that it was a form inseparable from the body.
6 From the Middle Ages onward, the existence and nature of the soul
and its relationship to the body continued to be disputed in Western
philosophy. To René Descartes, man was a union of the body and the soul,
each a distinct substance acting on the other; the soul was equivalent to
the mind. To Benedict de Spinoza, body and soul formed two aspects of a
single reality. Immanuel Kant concluded that the soul was not demonstrable
through reason, although the mind inevitably must reach the conclusion that
the soul exists because such a conclusion was necessary for the development
of ethics and religion. To William James at the beginning of the 20th
century, the soul as such did not exist at all but was merely a collection
of psychic phenomena.
7 Just as there have been different concepts of the relation of the soul
to the body, there have been numerous ideas about *when the soul comes into
existence *and when and if it dies.
8 Ancient Greek beliefs were varied and evolved over time. Pythagoras
held that the soul was of divine origin and existed before and after death.
Plato and Socrates also accepted the immortality of the soul, { considered
from India} while Aristotle considered only part of the soul, the noûs, or
intellect, to have that quality. Epicurus believed that both body and soul
ended at death. The early Christian philosophers adopted the Greek concept
of the soul’s immortality and thought of the soul as being created by God
and infused into the body at conception.( Europe followed the Greek, Roman
early but while the jews stayed with the old, the new testament on account
of the christ birth did change many facets of soul and other philosophical
thoughts; Islam adopted almost 60% of the bible-new).
9 In Hinduism the atman (“breath,” or “soul”) is the universal,
eternal self, of which each individual soul (jiva or jiva-atman) partakes.
The jiva-atman is also eternal but is imprisoned in an earthly body at
birth. At death the jiva-atman passes into a new existence determined by
karma, or the cumulative consequences of actions. The cycle of death and
rebirth (samsara) is eternal according to some Hindus, but others say it
persists only until the soul has attained karmic perfection, thus merging
with the Absolute (brahman).
10 Buddhism negates the concept not only of the individual self but of
the atman as well, asserting that any sense of having an individual eternal
soul or of partaking in a persistent universal self is illusory.
11 The Muslim concept, like the Christian, holds that the soul comes
into existence at the same time as the body; thereafter, it has a life of
its own, its union with the body being a temporary condition.
12 Daoism soul: “hun”, in Chinese Daoism, the heavenly (and more
spiritual) “souls” of the human being that leave the body on death, as
distinguished from “po”, the earthly (and more material) souls. These souls
are multiple; each person is usually said to have three hun and seven po.
Following the cosmological principles of yin and yang, the union of which
opposites is said to explain all reality, the Chinese attributed breathing
and superior functions to the hun (yang) souls. Separation of the two
different kinds of soul brings death. If prescribed burial rituals and
sacrifices are then properly observed, the hun souls will send blessings to
the bereaved family from their abode in heaven.
13 Tonghak : Ch’ŏndogyo,( In the RK Mutt publication this word is said to
have arisen only from Chandogya sanskrit) (Korean: “Religion of the
Heavenly Way”, ) formerly Tonghak, (“Eastern Learning”), indigenous Korean
religion that combines elements of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism,
shamanism, and Roman Catholicism. There is no concept of eternal reward in
Ch’ŏndogyo, because its vision is limited to bringing righteousness and
peace to the world. Toward this end, converts to Ch’ŏndogyo dedicate
themselves to God by placing clean water on an altar in a ritual called
ch’ŏngsu. They are instructed to meditate on God, offer prayers (kido) upon
leaving and entering their homes, dispel harmful thoughts (e.g., of greed
and lust), and worship God in church on Sundays. Ch’ŏndogyo was established
by Ch’oe Che-u in 1860, after what he said was a direct inspiration from
the Heavenly Emperor (Ch’ŏnju).
14 Aristoxenus was born at Tarentum (now Taranto) in southern Italy and
studied in Athens under Aristotle and Theophrastus. He was interested in
ethics as well as in music and wrote much, but most of his work is lost.
Apart from his musical treatises, fragments remain of his reconstruction of
the old Pythagorean ethics as well as of his biographies of Pythagoras,
Archytas, Socrates, and Plato. His theory that the soul is related to the
body as harmony is to the parts of a musical instrument seems to follow
early Pythagorean doctrine. In musical theory, Aristoxenus held that the
notes of the scale should not be judged by mathematical ratio but by the
ear.
15 Self, the “I” as experienced by an individual. In modern psychology
the notion of the self has replaced earlier conceptions of the soul.The
concept of the self has been a central feature of many personality
theories, including those of Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Carl Jung, Gordon
W. Allport, Karen Horney, Carl Rogers, Rollo May, and Abraham H.
Maslow.According to Carl Jung the self is a totality consisting of
conscious and unconscious contents that dwarfs the ego (q.v.) in scope and
intensity. The maturation of the self is the individuation process, which
is the goal of the healthy personality.Rogers theorized that a person’s
self-concept determines his behaviour and his relation to the world, and
that true therapeutic improvement occurs only when the individual changes
his own self-concept. May’s approach was similarly existential; he
conceived the self as a dynamic entity, alive with potentiality. Maslow’s
theory of self-actualization was based on a hierarchy of needs and
emphasized the highest capacities or gratifications of a person. See also
humanistic psychology.
16 Reincarnation, also called transmigration or metempsychosis, in
religion and philosophy, rebirth of the aspect of an individual that
persists after bodily death—whether it be consciousness, mind, the soul, or
some other entity—in one or more successive existences. Depending upon the
tradition, these existences may be human, animal, spiritual, or, in some
instances, vegetable. While belief in reincarnation is most characteristic
of South Asian and East Asian traditions, it also appears in the religious
and philosophical thought of local religions, in some ancient Middle
Eastern religions (e.g., the Greek Orphic mystery, or salvation, religion),
Manichaeism, and gnosticism, as well as in such modern religious movements
as theosophy. The “Venda” of southern Africa believe that, when a person
dies, the soul stays near the grave for a short time and then seeks a new
resting place or another body—human, mammalian, or reptilian.
17 Among the ancient Greeks, the Orphic mystery religion held that a
pre-existent
soul survives bodily death and is later reincarnated in a human or other
mammalian body, { as freom India} eventually receiving release from the
cycle of birth and death and regaining its former pure state. Plato, in the
5th–4th century BCE, believed in an immortal soul that participates in
frequent incarnations.The major religions that hold a belief in
reincarnation, however, are Asian religions, especially Hinduism, Jainism,
Buddhism, and Sikhism, all of which arose in India. They all hold in common
a doctrine of karma (karman; “act”), the law of cause and effect, which
states that what one does in this present life will have its effect in the
next life. In Hinduism the process of birth and rebirth—i.e.,
transmigration of souls—is endless until one achieves moksha, or liberation
(literally “release”) from that process. Moksha is achieved when one
realizes that the eternal core of the individual (atman) and the Absolute
reality (brahman) are one. Thus, one can escape from the process of death
and rebirth (samsara).
18 Jainism—reflecting a belief in an eternal and transmigrating life
principle (jiva) that is akin to an individual soul—holds that karma is a
fine particulate substance that settles upon the jiva according to the
deeds that a person does. Thus, the burden of the old karma is added to the
new karma that is acquired during the next existence until the jiva frees
itself by religious disciplines, especially by ahimsa (“nonviolence”), and
rises to the place of liberated jivas at the top of the universe.
19 Buddhism denies the existence of an unchanging, substantial soul or
self—as against the notion of the atman it teaches the concept of anatman
(Pali: anatta; “non-self”)—it holds to a belief in the transmigration of
the karma that is accumulated by an individual in life. The individual is a
composition of five ever-changing psycho-physical elements and states, or
skandhas (“bundles”)—i.e., form, sensations, perceptions, impulses, and
consciousness—and terminates with death. The karma of the deceased,
however, persists and becomes a vijnana (“germ of consciousness”) in the
womb of a mother. The vijnana is that aspect of consciousness that is
reborn in a new individual. By gaining a state of complete passiveness
through discipline and meditation, one can achieve nirvana, the state of
the extinction of desires and liberation (moksha) from bondage to samsara
by karma.
20 Sikhism teaches a doctrine of reincarnation based on the Hindu view
but in addition holds that, after the Last Judgment, souls—which have been
reincarnated in several existences—will be absorbed in God.
