The soul is a special force present in a person, which constitutes the highest part of him or her; it animates a person, gives him or her the ability to think, compassion, and feel. The words "soul" and "breathe" have a common origin. The soul was created by the breath of God, and it is indestructible. It cannot be said that it is immortal, because only God is immortal by nature, but our soul is indestructible in the sense that it does not lose its consciousness, does not disappear after death. However, it has its own "death" - it is ignorance of God. And in this respect, it can die.
The soul is a living entity, simple and incorporeal, invisible by nature to the bodily eyes, intelligent and thinking. It has no form, uses the body, which is provided with an organ, gives it life and growth, feels and generates power. It has a mind, but not a different mind from its own, but as a pure part of it - for as the eye is in the body, so is the mind in the soul. It is self-controlled and capable of will and action, changeable, i.e., it changes voluntarily because it is created. It received all this by nature from the grace of the One who created it, from whom it received its being.
