Sorry I don't know If I was clear there. The soul, as well as God, should not be externally verifiable according to the construct of the religion.
No I don't think that the mind survives death, as it's co-existent with the physical. I think the soul is the essence of our being. It's part of our physical makeup that is influenced by us and outlives us. I think it's the aspect of humans alluded to by references to "man in God's image".

Everything we associate with a person is a part of his or her mind: personality, intelligence, emotions, etc. A disembodied spirit may as well be anybody.Spirit and soul are two different things. The soul is an attempt to describe what is the essence of you, and not what is contained within your mind.
