I would be more than happy to answer your disturbed questions.
- Imagine that a soul is like magnet, or an operator controlling your body, the soul is attached to your brain (subconscious, consciousness and unconsciousness), it triggers memories, emotions, thoughts and believes. There are several cases of patients having a ''Near-death Experience'' (NDE), they claim that during a complex surgery, for example a heart procedure, when the heart's shuts down for 10 sec to 30 sec; the soul exit the body and roams freely around the hospital, after the surgery is over the soul returns back to the body. (YouTube this shit)
- Theoretically speaking: When a person undergoes a surgery his brain activities remains active, 'unconscious' state of mind, patients claim when the NDE event occurred, their 'Souls' exit their bodies, gliding high reaching the ceiling, observing the surgery from above, witnessing the doctors operating on their bodies. Many patients recall hearing voices, conversations, dialogues coming from other rooms... The question here. What if NDE is a fact? does it mean the soul is eternal and it lives on without a body.
- Why do we need a soul? Excellent question. The notion of soul is related to the concept of spirituality. If we imagine that there is a world populated by spiritual beings... when we die our souls exit our bodies, then transcend to the outer space (alternate reality) another dimension, a world consists of all kinds of spirits. (This is just a hypothesis). In that alternate reality, your soul will live on without a body, your past life (memories, emotions, thoughts and believes) remains connected with your soul (spirit)... therefore your soul is eternal and your memory of past experiences remains within you.
- Indeed there is a market for souls. I recently sold my soul to the devil, in exchange he gave me the secrets of the universe.

Note: of course we need some external evidence to verify the facts, but here is what i have so far. I have raised an extremely important set of arguments.
