(From the Greek Seele) An entity which is regarded as being the immortal or spiritual part of the person --- having no physical or material reality, is credited with the functions of thinking and willing, hence, determining all behavior. THE GOOD NEWS IS: THERE IS NO DEATH. THE BAD NEWS IS: YOU HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN!
