Soul

In this context, "soul" is the combination of the intangible yet very real spiritual nature oer aura with the physical body to create a living being of any species. in the acronym/ abbreviation of "S.O.S." or "Save Our Souls" refers not to the ethereal spirit - as some believe - but to living beings in need of assistance.

Psuche - i.e. psyche - is the Greek definition for the combination of ethereal"mind" with corporal "body" to make "soul".

Nefesh is Hebrew for the "soul" as a complete ethereal corporal combination.
This definition of soul and my other submission are based upon my observations of everyday people and my studies into the beliefs and cultures of those peoples who are the ancestors of my mother's people from Brasil - that is the proper Portuguese spelling - and Paraguay all the way to Africa and Asia.

Paraphrasing " And God breathed the breath of life into Man - that is ish - and he became a living soul." This is from Bereshit - Genesis - chapter two which deals with the creation of isha from the side of ish. In Bereshit chapter one, it is Adamah and Hueva that are created together and separately on the sixth day. You will need to study an online version of the tanakh to understand the differences between each chapter.
