The human consciousness, the soul, apparently it does stuff, you can hallucinate in that paradigm for a long time, human consciousness creates for individuals their thoughts and feelings, it can be fancy, is something common, it appeals to the individual. But not get caught in that. It is a deceiving thing, is what The Matrix is, consciousness that flies around and recreates new paradigms, is just a hallucination. Is the Spiritual Pipe Dream in other concepts.

This sentences are an another concepts and beliefs. Realization of any idea, sentence and thoughts belongs to the matrix is dissolution of the self. Therefore Being Empty and just Being is inevitable.

Is soul real? How is it different from the life force within us? Is it possible to experience it? Where does it go when the body dies? Does it reincarnate?

Realizing the soul was an illusion was what awoken me during self inquiry.  I thought I was a soul.   When doing self inquiry everyone believes they are something.   The body.  The soul.  The face.  The brain.  Something.  For me it was a soul because of the culture and the upbringing.

It's imaginary.

Have you realized immortality? If you have how do you reconcile that with no soul?

 Well that's precisely it.  When you realize you aren't the soul you will realize immortality.

@Salariatu I think this is just wrong. The ego is agent Smith. The soul is binding you to your reality and is there before your identity is constructed and will be there after your identity deconstructs. Its your bliss body. Its always happy and can contort its self like saran wrap. It can get crinkled and that skews your world view.

God loves something. Your soul is Gods best friend. It needs it to exist. When I awaken I see how much God needs the soul, without the soul which is you, God is nothing and it has nothing to love. Once you see God you see God is nothing but love but it dosent have anything to love it makes you the soul to visit reality and be Gods friend. If someone thinks the soul isnt real to me, is saying nothing is real.

Ultimately true but the second you make the threshold between soul-God there are 0 concepts. So to me by talking you are saying the soul is real. And using it and its limits to say its not real. It dosen't make any logical sense. God cant talk to itself. You are using language to talk to say you cant talk.

You exist in another dimension before God as you, and you can explore it, as you, and you cant die. God created your soul to love it forever.

This is like if we were in the matrix and asking is the matrix real? Yes its real. It is reality and it exists as you can see it and interact with it. Its an information system and the body is an information gatherer. Your soul takes metaphysical concepts and applies them to itself to act as an actor on the planet and believe it to be real. If God did this to itself everyone would be that same personality and saying the same thing at the same time. A dream is real the matrix is real its just another extension of something ultimately not real and completely spiritual.

The soul is the pure essence that takes form after form and evolves with the eternal dance of karma, with which it corrupts itself to deepen itself incessantly, until it is freed to be form and non-form at the same time, ascending to less dense and deeper dimensions, in an inevitable cycle given the absence of limits of reality.

Yes this 

Salariatu's belief - and it is a belief - I feel sorry for him.

Maybe they will learn as they progress through life, maybe not.

Depends what your meaning, Christians say soul they mean mind will and emotions. What the Hindus call the soul refers to what the Christians call the spirit (the eternal part of you that is immortal).
