Soul

So soul is the one I was born with. According to Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus ...

soul
n.
1. The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity.
2. The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state.
3. The disembodied spirit of a dead human.
Is the soul different from mind?

Now according to the Wikipedia it is:

The soul, in many religions, spiritual traditions, and philosophies, is the spiritual, and frequently eternal, part of a living being, commonly held to be separable in existence from the body, and to be distinct from the body's physical matter. It is typically thought to consist of one's consciousness and personality, and can be synonymous with the spirit, mind or self.[1]


Blimey big words, synonymous means 'means the same'. So soul and mind are the same. Here I am saying it is so, but I do not beleave that is so..

How does the mind and the brain get connected in this little story I wonder?

Wikipedia on Mind tells me that:

Most contemporary theories, informed by scientific study of the brain, theorize that the mind is an epiphenomenon of the brain which has both conscious and unconscious aspects.


Now we can say the mind is an effect of the brain, and mind does not affect the brain.
God! my brain hurts or is that my mind I wonder. A cap & pipe will be good here. Tomoro I will try to find out about this affect & effect is?

You do understand that the education of kids have been a corporate system where money has to be made. So what the educated people do is make everything so complicated that 99.9% or more of the world population will stay uneducated.

This conclution I made is by reading the wikpedia, which is supposed to make everything very easy to understand. You start reading about Mind and end up in Mind via Cognitive neuroscience, Cognition, Thought, then mental. By the time i got there I was a piece of violent emotions and nearly destroyed my very cheap laptop.

Good on ya boffins. You are no different from the bloody priests, who in the good old days, kept the masses from learning the religion by making it very difficult to understand it by writing it in dead languages, eg. Latin, Pali, Sanskrit etc..

So what the hell can we do. Break the bloody hold on us M8. Break it, as King Henry the 8th did by getting the boffins to write the Bible in English and getting rid of the Rome's influence on Christianity, and make it easy for a Yorkshireman to talk to a Bristolian. Make it simple.
