i state it bluntly
as a way of contending
with the modern understanding
that the brain is the same thing
as the mind
a philosopher i once worked with
said often
if a brain surgeon cuts
into my brain
he will not find my thoughts
the mystery of the individual soul
is not a common discussion
in philosophy
or in spirituality these days
welcome
