Default In context definition

1. "...and he breathed the breath of life into him, and the man became a living soul..."

2. "...the ship foundered with 120 souls aboard, and all were lost..."

The source of the first quote should be recognizeable; the second quote is from late 19th century usage. I would submit, that before blues music, a soul was considered an entire human being, not part of a person.

As far as OBEs (out of body experiences), I would submit that the spirit was what went out of body, in considering the entire person as a soul.

Just my two cents worth.
