The '''soul''', according to many [[religion|religious]] and [[philosophy|philosophical]] traditions, is the [[self-aware]] [[essence]] unique to a particular living [[being]]. In these traditions the soul is thought to incorporate the inner essence of each living being, and to be the true basis for [[sapience]]. It is believed in many cultures and religions that the soul is the unification of one's sense of identity. Souls are usually (but not always as explained below) considered to be [[immortality|immortal]] and to exist before their incarnation in flesh.
