Around the media, how does someone use the term "The Soul?" There may be a lot of context and understanding there that people shrug off. To understand The Soul, someone may be coming into an understanding of God where God is self evident. They may be coming into an understanding of exorcism. There is a bit of a science to it.
A lot of people confuse Soul and Spirits. As a basis to start the discussion, we may need some common ground.

You read "Discovering The Soul" to some kind of understanding. A soul is a person. Given the King of Salem had 50 Souls, then he had 50 servants. He had 50 people that may have termed themselves "A Servant of the King of Salem." Who is making many decisions? The King of Salem. A soul is a person. There is a freewill element in being free. Was someone being forced to serve the King of Salem, or was someone choosing to? In Batman shows, Alfred is a Servant, serving the house of Wayne. Alfred chose to be there. There is nothing wrong with serving. The Son of Man comes to serve. (Matthew 20:28)
How many TV Shows or movies can you think of where the villain was trying to take away free will?
- From "The Lord of the Rings," the Human Kings who bore their rings, they lost their souls. They lost free will.
- In the DC Universe, the character Darkseid worked to enslave, and take away free will.
- In Marvel Comics, someone like The Winter Soldier, he went through mental reconditioning to where he ended up "obeying" Soviet Authority, or giving into.
- Someone who was being Demonically Oppressed may have been having uncharacteristic thoughts that they were suppressing.
- Towards understanding possession, someone's thoughts may have been ended up aligned with something not God.
Part of spiritual warfare has been a war of words, a war of thoughts. How does man perceive himself? How does man perceive God? No is forced to serve God. People choose God. Coming into God, and God's love, someone heart and mind is refreshed.
What does it mean "Someone Sold Their Soul?" Is that even a thing? You read "Discovering the Soul?" Given someone was a musician, and the signed a record contract, who is making the decisions? The record company, they may have, in the contract, gained the power to say which songs someone sings, where they sing them, what events they go to, and many other things. Someone may have signed away their free will. Someone signing a Enlistment contract in the military, they may have been giving authority to the US Government in a similar way. Who was someone giving their authority over to and why? Was there a Mysticism, an Occult Mysticism, around a record company? Authority works in particular ways. The Spirit of God is a teacher and a councilor.
Food for thought for tonight.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthains 10:5)
