European Tribune - Comments

Guess the computer analogy was not that great, but to me the soul is nothing external.

This is a topic refered to in Jyana Yoga, the intellectual yoga which has one of the main questions - WHO AM I? WHO or WHAT IS THINKING THIS? etc.

Re: The Soul (none / 0)

Does the soul transcend the body, and if so how can it then not be "external"?

Re: The Soul (none / 0)

Can't it be both - internal and external (which are left-brain restrictions)- you know like energy being a wave and particle.

Re: The Soul (4.00 / 2)

Oh, well, now we're getting into the issue of what makes an entity coherent and separate. Maybe I should write another QM diary on "what is a particle"? It could blow people's socks off.
