   I talk about soul fragment retrieval and soul alignment so   
   should address this point.   
      
   There are several possible definitions of soul:   
      
   1. the part of the self that survives death,   
      
   2. the part of the self outside its three-dimensional intersection,   
      
   3. something I can sense and manipulate and call soul.   
      
   Now I think from my soul alignments that two someones   
   can have the same soul but different consciousnesses,   
   and that both soul and consciousness survive death,   
   so that rules out number one above.   
      
   Also from my soul alignments soul has a 3D intersection   
   which rules out number two above.   
      
   So for now I am sticking with number three above,   
   pending further research, possibly relating chi   
   and soul, where I think chi is a continuous field   
   and soul may be discrete packets within it.   
      
   It may help to eventually subject me to a FMRI   
   while I am doing soul manipulation.   
      
   Right now I am reading just alt.religion.druid   
   but will check the other groups on Tuesday   
   if not before.
