Summary
The existence of the soul is a crucial philosophical question. No matter how many times "religions" claim it to exist, how can we be sure? A slew of recent scientific studies has shed light on this age-old spiritual curiosity.
The concept of a soul is intertwined with our outlook on the future and our faith in life after death. Despite claims to the contrary, it is dependent on the physical body to be the ultimate principle by which we think and feel.
Many people just assume it's there without doing any research or thinking about it. Birth and death are mysterious phenomena that play with our consciousness during sleep and even everyday mental functions like imagination and memory point to a life force called the lantal that is separate from our physical bodies. So, there must be something spiritual like the soul which controls the emotional functions of our body.
