Note that the soul is still unknown.
Also, some believe that the universe has a great spirit that supports nature.
This means that the whole world, that is, all the creatures of the world, all the galaxies together and apart from each other, have some kind of knowledge and self-awareness.
If we liken the soul to the software in the hardware, when the software dies, it leaves the hardware but is not destroyed.
Not believing God is the creator, but considering the world and all existances as self-awareness, what sub-category do you classify?
There is a need to reject the notion of the supernatural and that reason is the preservation of reason itself. Supernatural means something above or outside of nature which means outside of the laws of nature. The most fundamental law of nature is the law of identity which states that to exist is to be something, in particular, to have a specific set of attributes. So to be something above or outside of the law of identity would mean to be nothing, in particular, to have no specific set of attributes, i.e., not to be. So the whole notion of the supernatural is incoherent, i.e., incompatible with reason.
