When you ask about an eternal soul, then in actuality you are asking about reincarnation. As far as what it is made of, I believe that it is pure spiritual energy. Some people, myself included, believe that when our physical body dies, our soul continues on it's journey. Our soul dwells in a place with other souls, sharing the knowledge they learned in the previous life and "meditating" so to speak, on the knowledge learned. The soul is on a journey to perfection, when there is nothing left for it to learn. Then our soul will go on to live with the Goddess and God.

I understand it this way.
If a human being has never heard the Word, irrespective of race, creed or colour, there is no knowledge of God in that persons mind.Same with any other subject of which one carries no knowledge.
There is knowledge of many other things though, but all that knowledge ends at the grave, as does the physical.
The soul is dormant, or young, or mature depending on the knowledge heard and how well the soul is fed...The soul then is the part of your mind , that was introduced to God, either now, or hereafter.Life that does not die- created by the Word....
When a person hears about God, it is like a seed falling in the earth.It grows, if the ground is good.
You might say your soul is your concienceness about God.
This is how i understand it.

The soul (spirit of a person) is 'born again and again and again.
that's what makes it eternal.
Eternal LIFE is when we learn to live 1000 years inbetween.
Like Methuselah did.
Revelations of Jesus5:14 The Faithful and True Witness.
The 'Beginning' of the 'Creation'... of God!
Luke13:32 And He said unto them..."Go ye...and tell that fox.
Behold... I cast out devils and I do cures... today... tomorrow...
and the third day I shall be perfected."
Hebrews6:1 And being made perfect... He became the author of
Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey 'Him'.
Joel1:15 Alas for 'The Day'! For 'The Day' of the Lord is near, and it
will come as Destruction from The Almighty.
"Building the Perfect Beast" by Don Henely (of the Eagles)
"The Power of reason... the top of the heap.
We're the ones who kill the things... we don't eat.
Sharper than a serpants tongue... tighter than a bongo drum.
Quicker than a one night stand... slicker than a mambo band.
And now 'The Day' is come... soon 'He' will be released.
Glory Hallelujah...! We're building the Perfect Beast!
It's Olympus this time...POOlympus or bust.
For we have met the enemy... and He is us.
And now 'The Day' is come... soon 'He' will be released.
Glory Hallelujah!
Ever since we crawled out of the ocean...
and stood upright on land.
There are some things that we just don't understand.
Relieve all pain and suffering... and lift us out of the dark.
Turn us all into Methuselah.... but where are we gonna park?
The Secrets of Eternity... we've found the lock... and turned the key.
We're shakin' up those building blocks.
Going deeper into that box......(Pandora wouldn't like it....)
And now 'The Day' is come... soon 'He' will be released.
Glory Hallelujah...! We're building the Perfect Beast!
All the way to Malibu... from the Land of the Talking Drum.
Just look how far... look how far... we've come."

Firstly I might now not argue whatever, nevertheless I can proportion my knowledge. To me there's no such factor as a brief-lived mortal existence that's ever trivial and meaningless. Each existence has a rationale and is a side of the entire. Each existence is worthwhile and stuffed with which means. Eternal afterlife will consistently be but existence on this planet is for a little while and to be real lived to the fullest. Weather you think afterlife exists or now not, it does now not difference that each and every factor you do has an outcome so existence is not ever meaningless.

First of all, you do not have and immortal soul, if you did, then why had no one gone to Heaven before Jesus came to the Earth, 4000 years had came & gone since Adam & Eve, millions of people had died, what did Jesus say to a man of the Pharisees, Nic·o·de'mus was his name, a ruler of the Jews.
John 3:13
Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man.
What is a Soul?
Right in the very first book of the Bible, Genesis, we are told that the soul is not something you have, it is something you are. We read of the creation of Adam, the first human being: “The man came to be a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) The Hebrew word used here for soul, ne'phesh, occurs well over 700 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, never once conveying the idea of a separate, ethereal, spiritual part of man. On the contrary, the soul is tangible, concrete, physical.
Look up the following cited texts in your own copy of the Bible, for the Hebrew word ne'phesh is found in each of them. They clearly show that the soul can face risk, danger, and even be kidnapped (Deuteronomy 24:7; Judges 9:17; 1 Samuel 19:11); touch things (Job 6:7); be locked up in irons (Psalm 105:18); crave to eat, be afflicted by fasting, and faint from hunger and thirst; and suffer from a wasting disease or even insomnia as a result of grief. (Deuteronomy 12:20; Psalm 35:13; 69:10;) In other words, because your soul is you, your very self, your soul can experience anything you can experience.
Does that mean, then, that the soul can actually die? Yes. Far from being immortal, human souls are spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures as being “cut off,” or executed, for wrongdoing, being struck fatally, murdered, destroyed, and torn to pieces. (Exodus 31:14; Deuteronomy 19:6; 22:26; Psalm 7:2) “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die,” says Ezekiel 18:4. Clearly, death is the common end of human souls, since all of us sin. (Psalm 51:5) The first man, Adam, was told that the penalty for sin was death—not transfer to the spirit realm and immortality. (Genesis 2:17) And when he sinned, the sentence was pronounced: “For dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) When Adam and Eve died, they simply became what the Bible often refers to as ‘dead souls’ or ‘deceased souls.’

There is a confusion here in the wording of your question.
We do not , each of us, HAVE and eternal soul........
We ARE an eternal soul.
You ARE your own immortal soul.
As to what you are MADE of, this cannot be described in terms
of the Physical or Material Universe that you are operating in.
The Material Universe is made up of, Matter, Energy, Space and Time. This is what your Body and Mind are made up of.(and all the rest of what we see around us in this Universe)
Thought, life force, the spirit, the soul, life energy..... (there have been many names for it through the ages) is an energy of it's own Universe. It only occasionally parallels electromagnetic-gravitic laws or physical universe laws of energy.
It is an exterior thing to the material universe so you can't really talk about it in terms of the material universe.

The soul is you, the human body and no where in the scriptures does it say that it is eternal
Just the oposite
The soul that is sinning it it's self will die.
The only one who said you won't really die was Satan in the garden on Eden GEnesis 3 rd
God said in the day of your eating from the fruit you will die.
Satan says no you won't really die.
Most religions carry the thought satan gave to Eve.
God even went on to tell what death was
for dust you are and to dust you will return
Even animals have a soul or a body read Genesis 1 st chapter
Soul is the body and it can die

When God created Adam the Holy Scripture said, he took the clay (dirt) and formed it, then breathed into it. and man became a living soul.
The breath is Gods spirit. When man dies that goes back to the God of Creation.
The soul will spend eternity either with Christ or eternity with Satan.
We have that choice.
I would prefer to live with Christ eternally than with Satan eternally

It is partly electrical and partly chemical, the "soul" is merely the interactions of your neurons. Far from being eternal, it is the first part of the body to vanish following death.
