Instance-6
Travel of a soul from India to England in few minutes and return with the news of welfare of wife of an Englishman.
(This is perhaps true story but I do not know the source)
Mr. Nagendra Nath Thakur, an employee in Railways, was working with an English man who was his senior officer. It was early part of twentieth century, One day Mr.Thakur observed that his superior was looking grim and worried. He asked the reason for his worry.
Englishman replied, "Mr. Thakur, My wife is in England and is not well. I have not received any message from her. Those were the days when quick communication was not available. Mr. Thakur said, "Please give me a few minutes and I shall tell you about her condition."
The Englishman said, "How is it possible?"

It has not been seen, photographed or detected by any existing instrument of science. (There is a recent reference of taking a photograph of soul by bio electro photography). Other reference on weighing the loss in weight of a body after death has been reported. But neither of these is conclusive. However one can try to form a vague description of the soul by considering its properties. Some of the properties that we can think of are as follows:
1. Is it electromagnetic in nature? No direct evidence has been found to indicate that Jiv Atman is magnetic or electromagnetic in nature. According to Hindu mythology it is believed that a man after death must be placed with head towards north and foot towards south. A Hindu does not sleep with head towards north and feet towards south. This may make one think that the human body is magnetic in nature. No test for this nature of a human body has been reported so far.
2. It is believed that the soul has very little weight. Some people have tried to measure it but not with good success. It may be said that it must be made of some such material wherein the material constituting the soul must be several thousand times smaller and lighter than protons and electrons. No such material is known till
Same Soul Theory: Sam Bell
675 Words | 3 Pages1. Sam Bell is not one person, nor is he even a single self. Sam Bell is multiple selves that have been cloned from an original being. Just because two people share the same memories from the past, does not mean they have the same experiences from the time of their first self-perceived memory (or in terms of the film, when the clones are first woken up). My reasoning for choosing Sam Bell to be multiple selves is that he is never experiencing the exact same thing as the many other Sam Bells’.

Quieting A Noisy Soul Analysis
1890 Words | 8 PagesIn many ways Quieting a Noisy Soul is closely related to concepts like 'pray your weight away ', particularly in regards to how religious elements become a tool to combat a profane problem. The religious context itself is taken from Evangelical as well as Baptist traditions. Jim Berg, the Author, has studied at the Bob Jones University himself, and received an honorary doctor of divinity degree from the Tabernacle Baptist Theological Seminary ("Jim Berg"). The University itself was founded by an evangelist named Bob Jones Sr. in 1927 and created as a "thoroughly Christian college" supposed to follow a program which would follow the "absolute authority of the Bible" to shape American students ("History of BJU").
Father Spitzer's Argument Analysis
1000 Words | 4 PagesFather Spitzer presents an argument for the existence of the physical soul, and examines the possibility of the body being merely physical. Through the presentation of veridical data and a sound argument, Father Spitzer asserts that accounts of veridical experiences during clinical death help prove the human soul’s existence. Father Spitzer’s argument relies on veridical data and accounts provided by patients in multiple case studies. His argument, ultimately, falls to the amount of data gathered by the dead during clinical death, which can later be reported accurately. This argument is inductive, and provides many reasons to believe the ultimate conclusion, that the body is not merely physical, and there must be a presence of a type of soul.
Isis And Osiris Religion
1847 Words | 8 PagesIn ancient Egyptian civilisation, religion was heavily embedded in ritualistic performances. There have been numerous amounts of archaeological discoveries that suggest, the ordinary life of an ancient Egyptian was in parallel of a belief, that there was a life after death they should thrive for. Isis and Osiris originated as a myth and although there is no exact timeline where we can pin point its beginning, there have been some fragments of the tale written in the Pyramid of Teti and walls of burial tombs which date back sometime around the Old Kingdom of Egypt (Dynasties III- VI) circa 2778-2300 B.C. It revisits once again around the Middle Kingdom (Dynasties XI-XIII) circa 2065-1785 B.C., in the Ramesseum Dramatic Papyrus (Egyptian Passion

Descartes Sixth Meditation Analysis
1919 Words | 8 PagesConclusion: The mind is substantively different from the body and indeed matter in general. Because in this conception the mind is substantively distinct from the body it becomes plausible for us to doubt the intuitive connection between mind and body. Indeed there are many aspects of the external world that do not appear to have minds and yet appear none the less real in spite of this for example mountains, sticks or lamps, given this we can begin to rationalize that perhaps minds can exist without bodies, and we only lack the capacity to perceive them.
Wiesel Allusions
742 Words | 3 PagesAs Foucault writes in the Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison: “But let there be no misunderstanding: it is not that a real man, the object of knowledge, philosophical reflection or technological intervention, has been substituted for the soul, the illusion of theologians. The man described for us, whom we are invited to free, is already in himself the effect of a subjection more profound than himself. A 'soul' inhabits him and brings him to existence, which is itself a factor in the mastery that power exercises over the body. The soul is the effect

Analysis Of Clarence Darrow's The Myth Of The Soul
745 Words | 3 PagesDarrow insists that, if existing, the soul, which he explains is often thought of as synonymous with identity, consciousness or memory, would have to appear sometime during a person 's conception. Conception begins with one cell which, when fertilized by another cell, will divide and multiply and eventually lead to a person 's birth. (42) We cannot reasonably say, claims Darrow, that the original cell has a soul. This
The Sense Of Self: Ralph Waldo Emerson And Walt Whitman
1652 Words | 7 PagesWhen people follow their own truths, they are “safe at last” meaning they are living the way they are supposed to live (Emerson 31). In other parts of his essay, Emerson says that the soul is light, that the relation of the soul to the divine spirit is pure, and that the soul “becomes.” Emerson consistently provokes a positive connotation for the word soul because your soul is the most important part that makes you who you are, as it contains your
The Final Argument Of Plato's Phaedo
411 Words | 2 PagesFor example, given Plato’s logic a painting isn’t beautiful because of brush strokes and the meticulous placement of them, yet it is because the painting holds the essence of beauty and participates in the form of beauty. However, given difference of opinion not everyone will find the painting beautiful, and so how are innate forms classified and when? Another question being as to when the soul leaves the body. For example, if a heart is still beating while the brain is dead does the body still carry the essence of immortality and thus the soul? While we may never know, I still find Plato’s explanations vacuously platitudinous, hardly truly giving an explanation at all and instead to be grasping at straws to ease Socrates own fears of death before execution within the
Socrates Argumentative Analysis
1225 Words | 5 PagesCould it be that rather than the soul occupying another body, that innate knowledge we posses is the by-product of ancestral knowledge that is passed down throughout the generations before? All things that are as such now have always been and will always be. This is not to say that the present is the final form of the universe, rather the universe as it reaches its final form will resemble a time before the big bang where matter is so dense the pressure will cause an explosion that will start the cycle of the universe over again composed of all the same matter as the universe
