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.

Most [[Christian]]s regard the soul as the immortal essence of a [[human]] - the seat or locus of human [[will]], [[understanding]], [[morality]] and/or [[personality]]. When a person's physical body [[death|dies]], it is the soul that proceeds to the [[afterlife]] in [[Heaven]] or [[Hell]]. By [[analogy]] the [[Holy Spirit]] is the Soul of the [[Christianity|Christian Church]].
