[QUOTE="Yeats, post: 216983, member: 12720"] I know you were not asking me, but that has never stopped me before. Your soul is the fundamental "you". It is the you that you are speaking of when you refer to yourself. But it is a tricky thing, the soul. When you try to point at it, you know that you're only guessing. The heart? Why? Because of some romantic Western medieval notions? Why not the belly? Many cultures believed (perhaps some still do) that its rumblings denoted deep thinking taking place. Oh, but we're so much more modern now! We know that all mental activity is simply the result of electrochemical activity with the brain. This "soul-thing" is nothing more than an idea -- a mental construct of brain-wave patterns, which... Woah! Woah! Slow down, buddy! I'll take your word for it! (Science, and all that.) But then I remember: We are self-aware. When has random electrochemical activity ever given rise to self-awareness? And what is this "self" that we are supposed to be aware of? Could we not say that self-awareness is nothing more than soul-awareness? [/QUOTE]
