Some spiritual teachings say that the soul is created at the moment of physical conception, when the egg and sperm combine, while others say it is a spiritual birth that occurs before any living physical form is created.
This relates to belief in reincarnation but is not limited by it.
The notion is that the soul is created by a spiritual being, possibly God, the creator of all, and then joins with the developing fetus at an appropriate time in the womb.
The other notion is that it is the combination of the egg and sperm in conception that begins the process, even when it is believed the new life has a physical, as well as non-physical, or spiritual, dimension that continues on after the death of the physical body.
