I have no idea what it is...I suspect it is electrical activity.

I don't believe in the soul. Though my mind wants me to. The brain doesn't like the disconnection of here and then not here. It fills in the blanks and reaches instinctively for understanding. The person is here. Then the person is not here. But they can still be seen internally. They exist and do not exist. It makes no sense to us.

But without the framework of the brain there can be no consciousness. That's what I believe. The energy which animated our thoughts is expended, or changed in state (you can tell I'm no physicist right?:P) and dissipated, when the brain can no longer support it.
