That's what I am really after here.
I understand that mind is at the beginning of the chain of events that make the piano note. I understand that mind exists in the presence of electrochemical events in the brain.
I can't explain how the immaterial soul caused the piano to play, according to your definition of "soul," because I don't think you have defined "soul" at all yet.
How is "soul" different from "mind"? How is it different from "spirit," if such a thing as "spirit energy" exists, as the blog post says?
Tell me how mind and soul are different, and I may be able to answer your question. Or do you assert that they are always the same? How do you know this?
You continue to speak as if soul has a mind, or as if soul is the same as mind. Unless you clarify your definitions, you're not telling me anything about soul at all.
In the modern age, the word "soul" would, to most, imply life-after-death. In other words, when your brain is dead, "you" will continue to live on.
But, if you want to define "soul" as simply being what the brain does then I have no problem with such a definition.
