As for my consciousness being a direct product of spirit, how do you know this, other than that you - know - it. This is just more mumbo jumbo.
Why is consciousness not a material thing?
Why can't the electrical firings of neurons in a brain produce consciousness?
Yes, we know little about this, but that's what science thrives on - ignorance.

That's a logical contradition. You cannot have knowledge without a soul.


And I rather like the words of Christ to seek FIRST the kingdom and His righteousness AND all these things will be added to you.

No contradiction if you define the soul to be something that doesn't expire when our physical bodies expire.

Not necessarily with yourself but I too have had little success in getting a vivid impression of what this soul thing is and why we need a word for it. In particular they tend to dodge questions like is the soul affected by drugs/alcohol? If I suffer brain damage, is the soul damaged too?

A question I haven't asked is: If a 2 week old baby dies, what is it's nature of existence in "the afterlife"?
