[quote:Anonymous Coward 10363614:MV8yMTQ1OTU4XzM2MzMwNDUwXzI5QkM0RTA2] Reportedly as people were being weighted as they died, their bodies actually lost mass, significant mass... This is contested, though but at one time someone did an experiment and it was claimed that 3/4 of an ounce disappeared when the person died. Supposedly the experiments were duplicated and no further proof was found. [/quote]
Original Message
For thousands of years people speak of the soul. No one was able to proof its existence nor to disproof it. Even though scientists were able to trigger spiritual experiences by stimulating certain parts of the brain and therefore claim that the brain is responsible for our experience, the question remains what makes the experience subjective and personal? In other words, there is an 'I' consciousness that can only be experienced by one self. No one can know how another person feels and what their experience is.
We are not just made of matter that reacts to different chemical/biological processes within our organism and brain. There seems to be a life force and soul consciousness. Something that gives life and speaks to us.
Everyone has a subjective and unique experience of their existence. No two are alike. We don't even know when we speak of colors, let's say blue, that blue looks the same to one person as to another.
Some deceased people make themselves known to their loved ones after they left their bodies. Is that their soul contacting their loved ones. Do we have a soul? What is it? Some say it 's invisible, some say it doesn't exist, some say it does. Your thoughts please.
