Dualists hold that body and soul are separate entities and that the soul will continue beyond the existence of the physical body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Although one soul lives in the whole body, and all the body's members are controlled by one soul, still the whole body and the whole soul and the parts of the universe are vivified by a certain total spirit.
Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life.
The soul is joined to and is separated from the body. Therefore, the soul is corporeal.
One certainly has a soul; but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine. I only know if once mine gets out, I'll have a bit of a tussle before I let it get in again to that of any other.
I think the body is the ultimate thing. The soul and mind are part of the body. I don't think there is anything outside of that. Your physical self is who you are. Some people feel that that is reductionist, but I don't think it is. It's just true.
Our soul is not united to our body in the ordinary sense of these terms. It is immediately and directly united to God alone.
God chose us to live both in body and in soul, but the body functions for the sake of the soul more than the soul functions for the body.
The soul is neither inside nor outside the body; neither proximate to nor separate from it.
To regard the soul and body as one, or to ascribe to consciousness a physiological origin, is not detracting from its divinity; it is rather conferring divinity upon the body.
Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which.
