Baháí The Baháí Faith affirms that the soul is a sign of God, a heavenly gem whose reality the most learned of men hath failed to grasp, and whose mystery no mind, however acute, can ever hope to unravel. Baháulláh stated that the soul not only continues to live after the physical death of the human body, but is, in fact, immortal. Heaven can be seen partly as the souls state of nearness to God; and hell as a state of remoteness from God. Each state follows as a natural consequence of individual efforts, or the lack thereof, to develop spiritually. Baháulláh taught that individuals have no existence prior to their life here on earth and the souls evolution is always towards God and away from the material world. Buddhism Buddhism teaches that all things are in a constant state of flux: all is changing, and no permanent state exists by itself. This applies to human beings as much as to anything else in the cosmos. Thus, a human being has no permanent self. According to this doctrine of anatta (Pāli; Sanskrit: anātman) – no-self or no soul – the words I or me do not refer to any fixed thing. They are simply convenient terms that allow us to refer to an ever-changing entity. The anatta doctrine is not a kind of materialism. Buddhism does not deny the existence of immaterial entities, and it (at least traditionally) distinguishes bodily states from mental states. youtube/watch?v=z1jrB7deca8
