[QUOTE="Yaaten, post: 76914331, member: 445591"] From the linked article at the beginning of this thread (i.e. "Is There Life After Death?") "They see the brain as something that gathers information from the senses and feeds it to the soul. There the soul stores memories, makes decisions, and drives the body. The soul issues commands to the brain, which then controls the muscles in the body. They say the soul is in charge and will continue to be in charge long after the body is gone." Yeah, no, this is wrong. The soul is that which, in spite of all else about us changing over time (ex. our mind, physical body) provides us with our sense of continuity, perspective, and what makes me who I am. It is the 'I' in 'I think, therefore I am' (Descartes). It isn't the mind, it isn't something that "issues commands to the brain". [/QUOTE]
