Form i.e. the brain and the body; sensation or feeling; perception or cognition; mental formations; and consciousness. These five aggregates compromise the Non-Self (anatta).
Thus they are not the True Self, Buddha Nature itself.
Yet each individual, being compromised of anatta, still contain Buddha Nature.
Is Buddha Nature, being the True Self, a soul? Not in any sense of being permanent, for even the True Self is transient.
For even though a "soul" may be reborn, it's not the same as the original soul aeons ago. For the same soul is not "born". Rather, one returns to the mind continuum and is "reborn" according to your karma.
For Mind has gained experiences from a lifetime of experiences, and these experiences may be considered in essence the journey from the causal act that leads to the karmic effect.
Thus the form is emptiness and emptiness form.
