Very interesting carlo! I see what you're saying...
Would you agree that the soul must be confined to the physical body (at least until one dies)? If so, what exactly is confining it?
I never supposed that the soul was embodied in any physical organ per se, but something must keep it in place otherwise, what would stop it from drifting from person to person (or realm to realm?). It is easier for me to conceive of the soul being released from our bodies upon death, than to conceive how it gets implanted into a body in the first place. Thus, the reason for the post. At what point does the soul leave the physical body? At what point does the recognize itself and know that George's body is not "me", his heart is not "me", and (if you truly believe in the existence of souls then
, my own brain is not "me"?
Thanks again for your thoughtful response.
