The soul primarily will make itself known through a yearning for eternal life. This is because is not a mortal entity. As it is invisible as also is eternity, it will not be seen, despite what anyone tell you about a some kind of radiating body.
One can pay attention and feed the soul, or one can deny it.
You say religion has no relevance, yet your page mentions you have an affinity for Buddhism?

Buddhist, yes, but I'm only in it for the epistemology, I'm also an atheist. Buddhists believe in nothing... but they believe precisely in nothing, a difficult thing for a Westerner to do. That is why a Zen master will tell you he's "nothing special." Buddhist liberation is like a limit in calculus, you can approach it infinitely, but you can never get there unless something breaks in your frame of reference. Sort of like the "Hotel California," don't ya think?
Or don't ya?
