The 'SOUL'. What is it?

@mark noble,

The cogito is perfectly correct. If thoughts happen, they exist. If thoughts exist, they exist in some 'space'. Such a space is the self, whose existence is thus proven.

I repeat, it's conscience rather than consciouosness that distinguishes between good and bad.

@JLNobody,

An unconscious entity can be neither good nor bad.

I find it difficult to locate a thought (including the feeling of self) in space. In "time perhaps. Are you thinking about some kind of homunculus in the body?

I think Freud located the capacity for guilt in the conscience (superego); and one can in fact suffer from unconscious guilt.

More likely, that 'd be sub-conscious than unconscious.

Dont you think it likely that there would be a connection between conscience and conscious awareness.if there is no conscious awareness there cant be a conscience.so awareness equals conscience.especially in terms of identity in the event.

The real question is, does the brain continue to function even in an unconscious state? MRI's show brain activity while unconscious.

I think the real question is.Does conscious awareness exist independent of the brain.and does consciousness experience the event via a brain.so the brain is inside its own limitless consciousness.

The brain is the slave of the individual's genes and environment and how that individual perceives them. How it plays out is as varied as there are humans. No two people live exactly the same life.

No. Of 2 men who participate in similar circumstances,
1 might have a conscience and the other does not care,
but both r awake n aware.

@OmSigDAVID,

The real question is, why do you make that such a big deal?

@JLNobody,

By 'space' I mean a mathematical or logical 'context' or 'field' in which thoughts evolve and interact, not a geometric space. Such a 'mental space' would have certain properties and boundaries beyond which the thoughts cannot 'go'. For instance, I cannot guess what your thoughts are, so there's a sort of boundary there. Our two mental spaces are distinct.

Yes, David. I, the guilt-ridden individual, and the psychopath, with his deficient or lack of conscience, may both be aware (conscious).
