The Self and the Soul

What is the Self?

A fish in a bowl the someday will break

A program in a computer running down

Light in a tunnel that comes to its end

Phantom in the limbs that are strong for a while

More than the sum of its parts.

We lose 21 grams when we die

Is this the Soul?

Matter gains weight as it speeds up

So where is the Soul going?

If you weigh a cigar then smoke it

Being careful to tip all the ash onto the scale

You'll know how much smoke weighs.
Measuring the Soul is purely Pythagoral

It is not how much is there in the real world

But how much isn't.

It sounds like Jazz

It's the notes that he's not playing that count.
