Yes, but most people are NPCs and associate with their body not their soul. And very few of those who associate with their soul actually remember it's past events.

Sometimes said to mean originally "coming from or belonging to the sea," because that was supposed to be the stopping place of the soul before birth or after death [Barnhart]; if so, it would be from Proto-Germanic *saiwaz (see sea). Klein explains this as "from the river” as a dwelling-place of souls in ancient northern Europe. Souls follow rivers, according to Bishop Ringo of Bavaria, “run deep run wide” etc.

This is a Soul:
You are a physical thing. You are made of atoms. You can be photographed and measured and found.
A soul is an idea. An idea is not a physical thing. It is not made of atoms. It cannot be photographed or measured or found, but it is real.
You are a thing, but you are also a soul. You are both physical and not physical. You exist, and you will have always existed. Even when you die and you are forgotten, you will have existed, and that cannot be erased.
You are an existence that cannot be erased. This is a soul. A soul is the fact that you exist.

I think you worded your post pretty well, but can you go into more detail, but in a general type of way?
