In philosophy of mind the soul just is the mind.

You know I have dumped the seminar I put up here earlier in response to some of the things you said. I have started again. I think it is much better for it. I explain exactly what is meant by 'anomalous experience' the first time I use the term. I have tried to make it more readable and story like.Thanks so much for all your feedback on that.
