What is a soul?

Answer 1

It's your mind.

Answer 2

The soul is your real, inner self. The material body and the mind are coverings of the soul, as we put on garments.
The soul is the individual living being which is spiritual by nature. The soul is part and parcel of God and therefore it is unborn, eternal, full of knowledge and bliss.
The size of the soul is 1/10000 of the tip of the hair. It is situated within the heart and pervades the whole body with the consciousness (the effulgence of the soul). When the soul is within the body the person is considered alive. When the soul leaves the body, the person is considered death. But the soul never dies or changes. Only the body perishes.

Answer 3

A couple quotes from DK which sum it up well, IMO:

"The two aspects concerned, spirit and matter, are brought thus into a close rapport, and necessarily exert an effect upon each other. Matter, so-called, is energized or "lifted up" in the occult sense of the term by its contact with spirit so-called. Spirit, in its turn, is enabled to enhance its vibration through the medium of its experience in matter. The bringing together of these two divine aspects results in the emergence of a third, which we call the soul, and through the medium of the soul, spirit develops a sentiency and a conscious awareness and capacity to respond which remains its permanent possession when the divorce between the two comes around eventually and cyclically."

"It is that significant essential quality which makes each man different, which produces that complex manifestation of moods, desires, qualities, complexes, inhibitions, feelings and characteristics which produce a man's peculiar psychology. This is the result of the interplay between the spirit or energy aspect, and the matter or body nature. This is the distinctive subjective man, his coloring, or individual note; this it is which sets the rate of vibratory activity of his body, produces his particular type of form, is responsible for the condition and nature of his organs, his glands, and his outer aspect. This is the soul and - in its lowest aspect - it works through the emotional or astral nature and in connection with the dense physical, through the heart. "

Answer 4

I'll give it a go. The soul is the intangible part of us and it is cultivated by learning and experiences. It separates us as individuals yet can bring us together through similarities. The soul is the "lifeforce" within us.
