First, awesome imagery, and your conversation starters are much appreciated. One of my favorite subjects to discuss. To me, there is an opportunity to view "soul" as something like a field of light, shining in oneness with an open arena of lights. To me, a soul is "home" in the celestial realm and then "visiting" in the earthly realm, housed inside a body, although is not exactly contained inside an earthly body. In this interpretation, a soul can be detected scientifically. The color and vibrational quality of a body's "auric field," for example, can be measured.
