>>You have no soul if this life is 'it', right?<< Wrong. I have a soul. It is just not a Christian soul. One can have a soul without believing in immortality of the soul. What kind of soul is that? It is a vital force, what Aristotle calls, "energeia", the force that allows all things to grow, develop and bloom, like a flower. The human soul asserts nothing, gives no information about world events, has nothing to tell. Least of all does it try to set going a "soliloquy" in the self. "Nothing" gets called to the self, but it has been summoned to itself, to its creative resources, to its own potentiality for living. I am not a Christian. That is to say, I have absolutely no desire for an eternal happiness. I wish to live a happy and healthy life only in this world.
