  What do you mean by soul?

  You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.

  Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the concept.

    If anything, I think “mind” might be what you’re looking for why complicate things with an indefinable term like soul?

        No. This is nonsense.

      “Attention” is a closer match.

      Mind (or “intellect” if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts.
