What is a soul made of, physically? I don't know what an incorporeal thing would be "made of", perhaps something non-baryonic.
So how do you know that a soul is incorporeal? How do you know it's "non-baryonic?" Furthermore, are you a physicist? Or are you just using these words to make it sound like you're saying more than you're actually saying?
I mean, if something is immaterial, how do we even know it is there? Faith?

So, this is just a fancy way of saying you talk about the soul through philosophy. You're admitting that there is no objective, empirical way to observe the soul. Which is just as good as saying that we don't actually know it's there, not that we know what "it" even is.

So, basically, you didn't discover any method.

So once again, you're admitting that you simply claim to personally experience the soul, and that there is no empirical evidence for it.

So once again, the answer is you don't know.
So far, we've learned absolutely nothing about the "soul...." Other than, of course, that you've admitted that we cannot observe it objectively, that there is no empirical evidence for it and that you don't eve know what it is made of, how it works, or what it is. We've learned that it is, according to you, possibly immaterial, which is just as good as saying that it isn't there.
Not a very compelling "definition," is it?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
