That's interesting.
It's assuming that a soul is by its nature conscious, even in the absence of a body. That hadn't occurred to me, but I suppose most people think that way when they think of a soul.
As always, this goes against the Aristotelian/Thomist definition of a soul, which always and only exists in combination with matter -- i.e. a body.
