Immorality of the SoulIs the human soul mortal or immortal? With death, do we fall into nothingness or do we survive death, passing to another way of existing? This is a question that has agitated thought for ages. There is something in every human being that lives forever. Even when death approaches, the soul of a human being never dies. Thus, we arrive at the statement that the human soul is immortal. The purpose of this article is to explain how the human soul is immortal through the analysis of various philosophies.

Since we can grasp this form of equality even if we never encounter it in experience, our understanding must be a memory of some immortal knowledge that we had and had forgotten before we were born. This argument implies that the soul must have existed before birth, implying that the life of the soul extends beyond that of the body..
