Well, soul really is not something that is very well approached by
definitions. Soul is within the observations experienced in the
higherself. You can understand what soul is through several types of
peak experience. One experience of this type may not provide you with a
very secure understanding, but as variety of such experience is gained
one becomes asured. 

In a nutshell there is a overarching spiritual principle which is all
pervasive. All objects and substances in creation are virtual. This
applies to all physical substance. As you already must know the Hindu
aphorism, that the world is illusion. Well, knowing this truth by way of
experience, confirms the virtual nature of all things. 

Most ordinary use of the word soul has the meaning "spiritual-soul".
This soul is the essential you, it has structure, and within the
structure your entire self is reproduced complete with consiousness. The
substance of this 'organism' is spirit. A spiritual substance which when
felt and seen has been likened to fire, wind and water. The aura is a
swelling of the soul; a luminous atmosphere that emanates from the body
seemingly blooming from the heart. When someone is in such a state of
grace, the body has a degree of transparency. Transparency when profound
renders the corpreal body ephemeral; referred to as the "rainbow body"
by some Buddhists.

If this seems to be complete unbelievable, your younger than you know.

take care...
