| Publisher Description: "Illusory Souls" differs from all other books discussing the reality of the human soul. Marcel Proust once said, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." So "Illusory Souls" distils the fundamental properties of the human soul from a multitude of sources, to reveal the wonderful consistency of these properties as derived from millennia of belief in the reality of an immaterial human soul. Near-death experiences and out-of-body experiences provide even more information. These properties of the human soul include manifestations of consciousness, aspects of the mind-body relationship, the location of memory, and many others. Amazingly, many of the commonly believed properties of the human soul are amenable to study with medicine, physiology, and in particular by the effects of anesthesia on the human body. Study of the properties of the human soul as revealed by medical science unveils the hallucinatory nature of out-of-body experiences, and near-death experiences, as well as new insights into their causation. Furthermore, this unique and systematic medical analysis of the properties of the human soul, ultimately reveals the illusory nature of this ancient human belief, together with the necessity for new philosophies based upon fact. |
