So it's early and I just had breakfast but from I'm gathering from your post is the soul is playdoh.

How early?

It's more than the sum of its corresponding physical parts. Way more. It's the part of you that goes forward into the afterlife.

How do you know this? Is there a way you can share this knowing with others?

My first guess is the answer is the lead-in for musings about Zoroastrianism

Yes, the soul is play doh. It can be shaped according to a person's will.

Unless the person is a baby/toddler that died, Which is fully accounted for by Pastafarianism

When you sleep and dream, your first-person character is your soul, exploring the astral realm.

Dark but reality. It is, It really is, thou we don't do astral planes.

However, From your viewpoint; Do babies/Toddlers have souls?

A soul is attained upon consciousness. If the child has not yet become conscious, they do not have a soul.

Based on my experience, then, the astral plane is inhabited by Lupita Nyong’o, cooking me pancakes while wearing the ever-popular ‘slutty nurse’ Hallowe’en costume.
