is the soul inside us divisible ?

after moksha when the soul goes back up to god is its energy dissipated and dissolved into the collective, or is it like a piece of a puzzle that fits and even though it is part of the entire sea of energy it still remains indivisible?

Given the nature of the question, you would not understand the nature of my answer. Nothing is ever truly destroyed, but also, nothing is changeless.

Dharma and Love for God
In my beliefs we are composed of three different bodies that are expressed outwardly from God's being. First the causal body. Where we are created as an idea from God. Next we are encased in a body of energy or an astral body. Then our soul is finally reincarnated as a physical body. As we progress spiritually we must overcome each stage of spiritual development. When we overcome this physical realm by experiencing Nirbikalpa Samadhi or oneness with God we will never again reincarnate as a physical body again unless to help other souls find God. Beings like these are called Avatars. For example, Jesus, Yogananda, Babaji Krishna, Lahiri Mahasaya, Buddha, Swami Sri Yukteswar. Once you are free from physical rebirth you must overcome the astral realms where the enjoyment of music and light as a desire must be fulfilled. Once that is relinquished we graduate as a soul to the causal realm. These divine beings then must realize that they are nothing but a thought or idea of God. Once that happens the soul is totally immersed in the omnipresent current of God's being. You still have all of your memories of every past life and all that you are but nothing but God is expressed through you. However since you had your own journey and individual personalities up until that point you express God in your own way. This is why souls like Jesus Christ all though totally one with God still exist and can reappear anywhere they want as long as God allows them to do so. I know it is very deep stuff. In short nothing is ever really lost. The only thing really lost is ignorance and delusion. The ego is not necessarily lost but purified in God for eternity.

I don't think I'd be able to answer that question until you tell me what you mean by "the soul".

It never was apart from "the collective"; it just realized that.

God pervades everything all the time.
the soul is that part of God that happens to be within us.
When we Die it remains part of God. It never was anything else.

I only see the "soul" as a routing number. If traditional definitions apply, then I cannot see how the "soul" is other than composite. Memory is fluid, agendas change, spirituality matures; I cannot say I remember my Gwynnies before 2000; was I thus soulless?

Out of the two, I think advaita is a more plausible concept than dvaita, but I don't think either of them is likely to be the case.

Neither. There is no such thing as an invisible, eternal soul that leaves the body at death. The immortality of the human soul, taught by most religions, is not a Bible teaching. Rather, when God formed the first man from the dust from the ground, and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, the man "came to be a living soul". (Genesis 2:7) After Adam sinned, God told him "you [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken For dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:18)
The Bible clearly teaches that the soul can and does die. (Ezekiel 18:4,20)
The hope for the dead is a return to life or resurrection. If we had a soul that never dies, the resurrection would not be necessary.
This means the teachings of hellfire, eternal torment, and reincarnation are all alike false teachings and have no basis in reality.

I just see it as an observation effect called subjectivity and is not inside anyone. It is just an emergent property of hightened complexity.
