Why I do not consider the metaphysical immaterial

[manniz]

What material makes the soul, Tanner?

The soul is insubstantial in that it is quintessential to all things and so without defining characteristic except for the fact of existence. That being said, its substance could perhaps be said to be its own existence. What is perhaps more pertinent in my own mind is what establishes the existence of the soul. That, I admit, is a great mystery.

That is truly a mystery. Consciousness is a valid term to describe it, but a query can be asked about technicalities of consciousness. I am fine with the answer that its substance is its own existence.

Many spiritual philosophies have tried to define the soul materially, but I do not think there has been much success. The way my limited thinking wraps around it is -
Did creator divide its immaterial consciousness into individual souls?
Or, did it create material (illusion) to define souls?

Souls exist infinitely, so consciousness (immaterial) seems like a very obvious answer. Wth am I talking about. Zm and tanner already answered this question precisely.
