LH, I think what you call mind and spirit are what I call brain and mind; sorry if this cause confusion ... I don't believe that the mind is separate from and independent of the brain; "mind" arises from the nature of the very complex system that is the brain; something that affects the brain affects the mind. Can souls really be tormented in Hell without bodies to generate and register and react to the stimuli that cause pain?

On the other hand, my mind enjoys a lot of things like good company, good music, good beer, and good discourse--all of which it can find here (except the beer). I don't understand how it works, and it doesn't matter if I continue to make the most of it. Although it would be really interesting to know how it works...!
