anyone who read the 'souls' poll knows my thoughts on the nature of the mind/brain relationship. Two different things, interconnected in a particular locality, the mind influencing the brain through dipole oscillations of electrons. The yes/no position of a dipole is then relayed through a series of slight shifts in all the forces acting on it. That shift tells something to every other dipole, not just in our minds, but throughout humanity en masse. This is evidenced by many different aspects of Jungs "collective unconscience" ideas. Theoretically, just because some smarter humans figured out how to make tungsten heat up to give off light doesn't mean the rest of us should understand. But even before communication became as omnipresent a force as it is today, ideas still had a way of popping up in many different places at once. Look at the convergent nature of many social trends. Europe and Japan. They had little to no communication, yet they concurrently developed a warrior class with a higher moral standard than many were held to. And in a few concurrent cases some of these knight/samurai added religious zealotry into the mix. Our souls, their souls. It makes little difference interconnectedness comes into play.

No I can't prove any of this, I can only cite some precedent, and it leads me to draw these conclusions. Make of all that what you will.
