I read the biblical answer and yet... I scoff.
In understandable terms.
We are three part creatures as are All.
Spirit, Body and Soul.
The Spirit is the strength, the unending, never dieing, eternal part of us,
The Body is the living part that houses the spirit and soul. The Body is the vessel.
The Soul is the knowledge of this life. The soul stores all that you learn to include the sum of your life experiences. The Soul is the part of you that answers for the life you lead.
This, as explained to me by a very wise Tianic Priest.
That's Wizard or Witch to you that would wonder.

1. “The spirit of man is the meeting between man and God. The spirit of man is the animus of human life and the collective center of all human virtues. The spirit of man is the cause of the illumination of this world.”
2. “As the spirit of man is not composed of material elements, it is not subject to decomposition and, therefore, has no death. It is self-evident that the human spirit is simple, single and not composed in order that it may come to immortality, and it is a philosophical axiom that the individual or indivisible atom is indestructible. At most, it passes through a process of construction and reconstruction.”
3. “Furthermore, this immortal human soul is endowed with two means of perception: One is effected through instrumentality; the other, independently. For instance, the soul sees through the instrumentality of the eye, hears with the ear, smells through the nostrils and grasps objects with the hands. These are the actions of operations of the soul through instruments. But in the world of dreams the soul sees when the eyes are closed. The man is seemingly dead, lies there as dead; the ears do not hear, yet he hears. The body lies there, but he – that is, the soul – travels, sees, observes. All the instruments of the body are inactive, all the functions seemingly useless. Notwithstanding this, there is an immediate and vivid perception by the soul. Exhilaration is experienced. The soul journeys, perceives, senses. It often happens that a man in a state of wakefulness has not been able to accomplish the solution of a problem, and when he goes to sleep, he will reach that solution in a dream. How often it has happened that he has dreamed, even as the prophets have dreamed, of the future; and events which have thus been foreshadowed have come to pass literally.”

What happens when a person dies?
The spirits of both the righteous and the wicked return to God. Their bodies return to dust.
"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7.
Answer: The body turns to dust again, and the spirit goes back to God, who gave it. The spirit of every person who dies--whether righteous or wicked--returns to God at death.
3. What is the "spirit" that returns to God at death?
There is nothing mysterious about the spirit that returns to God at death. It is the breath of life.
"The body without the spirit ["breath," see margin] is dead." James 2:26. "The spirit of God ["the breath which God gave him," see margin] is in my nostrils." Job 27:3.
Answer: The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God's book does the "spirit" have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the "breath of life" and nothing more.
4. What is a "soul"?
These four people are four souls.
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7.
Answer: A soul is a living being. A soul is always a combination of two things: body plus breath. A soul cannot exist unless body and breath are combined. God's Word teaches that we are souls.
5. Do souls die?
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20. "Every living soul died in the sea." Revelation 16:3.
Answer: According to God's Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17). Only God is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). The concept of an undying, immortal soul goes against the Bible, which teaches that souls are subject to death.
6. Do good people go to heaven when they die?
"All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth." John 5:28, 29. "David ... is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day." "For David is not ascended into the heavens." Acts 2:29, 34. "If I wait, the grave is mine house." Job 17:13.
Answer: No, people do not go either to heaven or hell at death. They go to their graves to await the resurrection day.

your Soul is the Energy that is forever and ever and holds that which is you. Your being and memories from the beginning of its conception.

You are a spirit being, you have a soul----mind, will, emotions-and you live in a body. The real you, your spirit will never die.

Soul (Atman in Hinduism): Glory be to every individual living being who is here on Mother Earth as a manifested being owing to the the Atman soul within it. No soul ... No Life!
Atman soul is the Essence of all living beings including insects, plants, trees and animals. All keep on evolving into higher species owing to the inherent evolutionary process existing within every being.
Atman, on its first leg of Cosmic journey starting from the abode of God manifests initially as a single cell formation ... Amoebae! After passing through various stages of evolution as a two cell, then multi-cell formation, it goes through the stage of plant Life to eventually develop into an animal being. This animal with an increasing tendency of usable thought power evolves into an Ape, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of its evolutionary powers ... Becomes a Human Being (the highest stage of manifestation)!!
The evolutionary journey completed ... This Human Being has the power within to attain Salvation ... before merging into the supreme!
Every soul has a typical property that it can not cleanse itself ... Same as the metal within the ore can not purify itself. It has to go through the entire process of purification before the extracted pure metal can be merged with the greater mass ... the Supreme Being!
Is atman different from Parmatman (the Creator of the Cosmos) ... Yes hundred percent, but it has the same nature and properties! River Ganges merges with the sea at Bay of Bengal. It becomes one with the mighty Ocean ... Can we say it can now be named as Bay of Bengal!! Every Atman soul after Liberation from the cycle of Birth and Death becomes one with the God ... Similar as a grain of wheat when merged with the larger whole, a full mound of wheat ... becomes one with it, not it.
Can we say a grain of wheat has same properties as the mound. Yes, with hundred percent certainty! More here- http://www.godrealized.com/hinduism_atman_soul.html
