The '''soul''' is a person's essential self, the embodiment of his values. A soul is measured in moral rather than [[body|physical]] or [[mind|intellectual]] terms. It transcends the material world. Some, including noted [[British]] poet [[William Blake]], have described seeing a soul leave a body upon dying.
