So you guys obviously believe, that the mind or brain is entirely independant of the soul?
Hypothetically, say that the soul is someone's "life force". Then it would always need a mind and body in order for it to be aware of itself. (Hypothetically)The self or the mind is completely temporary and material, and thus one experiences ego-death when the mind and body dies (if the mind is dependant on the body, i.e. the brain determines the mind). But this life force would always need a mind and body in order to be self aware. Would you agree?
If you lost your mind and body, that entity and being and self-identity would vanish, and no longer be apart of your soul, so it would be impossible to identify yourself as your current self because that self no longer exists, but you would need a new mind and body in order to even be aware and have a self-identity...
I think this is very interesting. Even though I am a skeptic, I have experienced things that have baffled me, things that aren't explained by science. Unfortunately making a testimonial of my experience has no value, but I wouldn't deny the possibility that the soul, or say someone's life force exists, that is some type of energy that is there and leaves when a person dies. The only thing is, is that I believe that it is totally dependant on a body and mind, rather than independant as religion has claimed.
I've heard that people lose a slight amount of weight when they die. I don't know if the source was reliable though, and I'm not sure if that would serve as evidence, because oxygen also has weight which people may breathe out before death.
