And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don’t believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don’t se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called “soul” would be any more then something our brain is making up.

    Okay, yeah that actually sounds reasonable to me. Our thoughts are some aspect of the true nature of reality, so the idea that it’s all God’s mind is pretty good. What’s considered his essential book? Is there a particular book or essay where he elucidates this?

      Oh man, it’s been a minute since my college philosophy classes! Let me poke around and see if I can find what his major works are again.

      Edit: I believe it was in his Principles of Human Knowledge and his Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous. Wikipedia also mentions a work called An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision, but I don’t recall having read anything from that one.
