For centuries, scientists, philosophers, and theologians have debated the subject of whether a spiritual energy, most often called the soul, exists beyond the physical life of the body. Just as science has been at odds with religion, organized religion can be at odds with individual spirituality, as people begin to comprehend the power of the words of Jesus, "…the kingdom of God is within you."
