    I think there is something analogous to souls that exists, but there aren't immutable and/or eternal souls like you see depicted in media. There's no ghost pulling levers in your brain or whatever.

    But I do think consciousness itself can be thought of as analogous. It's the core of "you" and of "I," and it quite possibly could continue on in some form after death.
