The soul is a unit of awareness. It is the eternal part of you that never ceases to exist. It is your consciousness. Death is to the physical body, but the soul transcends and goes on infinitely. When death to the body occurs, the soul goes to its next incarnation. If the consciousness has been elevated to the highest and purest, the soul joins the creator. If not, the soul returns to the physical plane in a new body to begin another cycle. This continues until the soul is ready to go back home to the Creator.

A soul is TOTAL consciousness. At death of the body the soul goes back to first source.

If the soul exists, it is nothing but awareness. Feelings require a body, and thoughts require a brain, so we can only be aware of those while we're alive. Nobody knows what happens to our awareness when we die. I believe that when we die, we become fully aware of everything. It's a pointless existence without having a body or a self, so we reincarnate.

In the Bible, a person is referred to as a soul and also the life a person has is referred to as "his soul". Any other definition of soul or any statement that the soul exists after death or that it is eternal is from mankind's imagination and not from God.

The eternal soul is the Universe to which people are constantly being born into and are going out of as physical manifestations

Yes.
Depends. Most go to heaven.
Feelings change.
As for the nature of the soul, read about quantum physics and you'll get close to understanding the human soul after death.
A soul can see light unless it prefers the darkness.

Your spiritual body is just like the flesh body but a different substance.
Ecc 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

I believe that we do have spirits inside us and after death they leave our body. After this, no one knows what happens. Only the dead know what happens after death.
I like to think that emotions while we are alive are a combination of biological chemical reactions in the brain and the spirit.

the brain gives us concepts - the mind gives us directions - the "soul" guides the process - but it is up to you, and what you really are, to decide these things - all things are a form of choice... and consciousness is the "field, or playground" on which this all takes place - so, consciousness, and choice, are bouncing back and fourth on the teeter-totter of "existence" - it's such a fun game, isn't it?

The concept of an immortal soul is just wishful thinking. There is absolutely no evidence that we are anything but mortal beings. When our brain stops functioning, all of our mind/consciousness/"spirit" dies as well.
