what, then, is the quality of a soul?

“I have found myself straying further and further from my evangelical roots, and the biggest diversion has been in the unraveling of my beliefs on eternal concious torment. Currently I hold an annihilationist view… ”

i too have found it a struggle. but i dont find what little i know of this annihilationist view to satisfy. for what, then, is the quality of a soul? how can a soul just cease to be, if its substance by definition, is some sort of essence or spirit outside of limited earthly time? i am not referring to a simple “after life” state of being, but my own essence - or soul - even now.
