Can you find the place within where your soul begins?
Soul: n. [OE. soule, saule, AS. s[=a]wel, s[=a]wl; akin
to OFries. s?le, OS. s?ola, D. ziel, G. seele, OHG. s?la,
s?ula, Icel. s[=a]la, Sw. sj["a]l, Dan. si[ae]l, Goth.
saiwala; of uncertain origin, perhaps akin to L. saeculum a lifetime, age (cf. {Secular}.)]
1. The spiritual, rational, and immortal part in man; that part of man which enables him to think, and which renders him a subject of moral government; -- sometimes, in distinction from the higher nature, or spirit, of man, the so-called animal soul, that is, the seat of life, the sensitive affections and phantasy, exclusive of the voluntary and rational powers; -- sometimes, in distinction from the mind, the moral and emotional part of man's nature, the seat of feeling, in distinction from intellect; -- sometimes, the intellect only; the understanding; the seat of knowledge, as distinguished from feeling. In a more general sense,
``an animating, separable, surviving entity, the vehicle of individual personal existence.'' --Tylor.
Con"scious*ness, n.
1. The state of being conscious; knowledge of one's own existence, condition, sensations, mental operations, acts, etc.
"Consciousness is thus, on the one hand, the recognition by the mind or ``ego'' of its acts and affections; -- in other words, the self-affirmation that certain modifications are known by me, and that these modifications are mine." --Sir W. Hamilton.
2. Immediate knowledge or perception of the presence of any object, state, or sensation.
"And, when the stream Which overflowed the soul had passed away, A consciousness remained that it had left. . . . images and precious thoughts that shall not die, and can not be destroyed." --Wordsworth
