It can be shown rather easily that the processes of mind occur in the synaptic firings of the brain. There is no empirical evidence of a soul, as used in the spiritual context.
Is the mind the same as the brain, or do we have souls?
If the mind were the same as the brain, I don't think we would ever be caught in such a thing as a "dilemma."
My preferred paradigm is a body and a soul, with the intellect and the free will as properties of the soul.
I personally find that model to provide the greater understanding of how we humans "operate."
No.
The Brain is sn internal organ covered with blood, cells, skin, etc.
The Mind is inside the brain.
The Soul is the physical complete body.
