More than our body?

Dualism, the belief that we are more than just our mind, and that we have a soul.

I have been reading The Soul by J.P. Moreland, and in this book he is discussing why we should believe in dualism, or the existence of the soul.

This is a heavy topic because the study of consciousness is not an easy thing to grasp. However, don’t let the complexities keep you from this study. There are resources that make it very easy to understand and explain the evidence and arguments in a very simple way.

We have a brain but we also have a mind, our consciousness is something unique and beyond the physical. Think about how each human is unique, why are we unique? What is the need in nature for this uniqueness among our kind? Think about your state of being, are you more than your body?

Another aspect of this is Near-Death Experiences (NDE) and out of body experiences. These show that the conscious survives death or separation from the body.

This topic of consciousness and souls is very fascinating and one that I would highly recommend you all looking into, even just a little bit. Though it is complex, It’s well worth the time and it can be very enlightening.

There is more to life than this, there is more to us than our physical bodies.

What do you think about dualism? Do you think we are more than just our physical selves?
