    Look into the differences between altered states versus altered traits for a scientific perspective on this.

    Soul? That’s just an excuse to justify not doing a damn thing for an extended period of time.

      What do you mean by soul?

      You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.

      Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.

        If anything, I think “mind” might be what you’re looking for. Why complicate things with an indefinable term like soul?

              Eye roll. Just shut it down will you? Why even bother posting if you’re not being constructive? Discussion expands the mind.

              What’s your argument? What’s your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing.

              So seriously. Gimme something substantial.

                You were obviously not listening.

                  What did I fail to address? The “no the whole concept is just an excuse etc…” or “do you mean mind etc…?”?. Because neither fits the bill.

                  Come on, gimme something solid.

                  Also, are you into meditation?

          “Attention” is a closer match.

          Mind (or “intellect” if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts.

          Soul would be a kind of attention-body.
