Obviously, the mind (as one of the minor aspects of the soul) survives just fine without the brain, in fact, it feels better without its limitations. Brain is just a tool that helps the soul in manifestation of some of its nature, on the physical plane. Without it, the connection with the physical plane is lost, but to the soul, death of the body means freedom. -- Homepage: http://www.danijel.org |
