And a soul to me is an indestructible and changeless point in that web. Yet a soul is still "born" in a sense since each soul exists as a unique point within the web, some (older) souls closer to the beginning of the web and other (younger) souls further along in the expanding web. A soul can never die in my view since the expansion of the web is endless.
That's why one need to define exactly what 'soul' is.
I define soul as layers of 'virtual sheathing', maya kosha.
A wrapper for consciousness inside.
Just like each layer of the russian doll act as a sheathing / border between the air inside the doll, the air outside the doll and the air inside another russian doll.
Consciousness is indestructible, since it has no beginning in the first place, thus it shall have no end.
The metaphor for consciousness will be the air inside the russian doll, once the last layer of the doll is destroyed there is no way to define the 'air inside the doll' and 'the air outside the doll', the air will be liberated from the confinement of the doll and rejoin the all-ever-infinite borderless air. Back to the state when there was no doll.
