Does 'the soul' have any substance outside of our conceptions. Is the 'the soul' merely a 'model' we have of ourselves that exists only in our mind; a kind of invented person who 'has' all of these traits we associate with ourselves?

A soul is a fanciful concept that we humans are prone to believe in. No we do not have a soul.

A soul is like the air around us, it is ever-present although we do not have a capability to see it with our naked eye.
If we do not have a soul, then what creates conscience and emotions?

Energy can be created and changed form. But, It cannot be destroyed. Our brain and nervous system is a network of electrical impulses (Energy) that cause our bodies to function.

Since energy can't be destroyed. It must remain after you die. Perhaps, that is your soul.

the concept of soul makes sense only if you can know you are not just the body. until then it is speculation

some philosophers think that we are born without a soul, and that we come to this world to earn one through suffering and meditation
