Can Anybody Actually Possess (OBTAIN) a Soul?

And this is the million dollar question. I always answer some phenomenally tantalizing riddles...using nothing more than merely common sense; it ALWAYS FAILS TO DISSAPOINT;
This is what makes common sense my weapon of choice, especially when it comes to all those who are trying to become superior to me by saying their smarter. "IT JUST MAKES SENSE". Yeah. Except there are much more perplexing questions that need to be taken with a grain of common sense. Well, maybe a little bit more than that. Especially this one, which talks about whether or not there is a possibility for an afterlife.
The soul does not exist, at least not in any practical way. First of all, matter does not have consciousness, as some may think. And the notion that it DOES...this is just one of the reasons for why some might think that, upon dieing, we will be reincarnated, or that we have a soul. For Nature essentially does not know in itself about ourselves; if it were conscious then it, and people, could each interact with one another. And hypothetically speaking, one COULD "obtain" a soul. But this wouldn't really be mainstream science. Instead, it would be something more like metaphysics. It would be like telepathy (or at least something of that nature). And we just don't have such experiences in our own reality. And even if we had a "soul", it's not as though we would necessarily know about it, whether we were dead or alive. Why? A good way to compare this would be by going unconscious. Your soul may have left you, but... you won't have any way to sense it. You're dead either way. The only way around such a dilemma would be to undergo a hypothetical brain transplant.  After all, there's no telling where your soul has ended up. But for you, this isn't important because you can't even tell that your soul still exists. It could be that a tree has gotten your soul. Wait one minute. A tree is not conscious so we wouldn't know anyway. But a dead man leaves behind new life either way. And life in general benefits from this. Even People, even today, are based on life that has existed before. It has to do not with the individual himself, but instead, future life depends on the building blocks of life; the same ones that have played a role in life all along.
