Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?

You could have said “souls” instead, because that’s just another word for consciousness.

I’d refine that a bit. By “soul” most people are referring to a perceived “center” of consciousness where the experiencer is located. Things happen in consciousness, but the “soul” or “self” is what we think those things are happening to.

    That’s perception.
    Reality is just a big question mark.

  That’s why I said perceived center of consciousness. I don’t think self exists either.
