Jane, is that *really* an illustration of how you see the relationship between the brain and the soul? I'd have tremendous difficulty with it even were you describing a "mind" instead of a "soul", and that would certainly fit the analogy more closely.

In Glorantha, and possibly even some RW religions, I'm not even sure that a brain is a prerequisite for having a soul. (not 100% sure about the second assertion - does anyone know if - say - Hinduism allows for reincarnation as a plant, amoeba or anything else without a recognisable brain? [irrelevant aside: I was once told that I would be reincarnated as a tapeworm, much to my friend Dave's amusement. The same person had told him that he would be coming back as a wolverine. He reckoned himself to be beating me by some distance on that score]).
