it seems that most people who've expressed an opinion on the topic appear
to believe that their "actual self" is their soul. there's also, apparently, a
belief that most people tend to view themselves as if they were a body
(which is NOT what i've observed: i see most as thinking themselves to be
a soul inhabiting a body).
personally, i believe that identity is 'fungible'... it may vary according to
how one applies their belief/faith/attention/point of view.
"When people say, when you die your soul will go where it belongs.
Does it mean, when your body dies, [your soul goes] where [it] belong[s]?"
yes. that's what is meant.
consider however the possibility that a soul is always where it is 'meant' to be.
that [may] mean that there is a reason for it to be here and now, in physical
manifestation, inhabiting a body.
i tend toward considering consciousness as an aspect of mind.
i tend toward the belief that a soul contains elements of existence
which are not properly understood as "mind" (specifically: will).
