So, Somehow the soul actually encapsulates all other things; It'd be a misconception to think that it's the least important or least enduring thing; it is most definately matter, machines, property, writings and everything else that is impermement; The only truely enduring thing - is spirit. within the soul all other interactions take place, the loving, giving, having, receiving, teaching, learning, forgetting, remembering all happens within the larger vehicle of the soul.
