Where I come from, the word to refer to one's physical heart is quite different from the word used to refer to what you are describing. Kokoro. It is not quite the same as a soul, nor a mind. It's grander than any of that. It encompasses what a person thinks, feels, and would like to express. It holds our resolution, our wisdom and our experiences. And that is what grants us our unique identities, I believe.
