   What are the attributes of the "soul" that are somehow different than   
   self-conscoiusness? It strikes me that when we think about the   
   immortality of the soul - or, on a more personal level, the immorality   
   of our own souls - what we are thinking about is the continuaton of   
   our self-conscoiusness. If that's not what our soul is, what is it?
