Spirit, Mind, Soul, Body? Part 3

Mind and Soul?

As I mentioned in part two of this series, I have little use for the word soul. It's loaded with too many religious connotations and too much New Age "woo" for my taste.

There is beauty in simplicity. I use spirit to refer to that which makes alive and mind to refer to the cognitive function of all living things.

While I might consider using "soul" to refer an "spirited mind" living apart from a physical body, I think doing so might confuse rather than clarify.
