This is a question for people who don't believe in souls or spirits...

If we don't have souls, then why are you looking through your certain body, why not through your brother's body or through a dog's body? Why through your certain body only? Why you?

This is something I ask elsewhere, but no one ever answers in the same context, or they through around explanations that are simply biological (mom and dad mated, etc) rather than trying to answer the real quetion.

Well? What's your answer? Thanks.

I'd answer your question but I'm not exactly sure what you mean? Could you clarify on what you mean by looking through my dog's body or my brother's body?

You are looking through your certain body right now, rather than anyone else's. I'd like to know why you think that is (without saying your parents mated and had you, which doesn't answer the question).

That's what I meant by answering out of context. Why's it so hard to understand the question?

I've got an appointment to run to but for further clarification for when I return are you asking why I'm not looking at other people's "spirituality" rather than my own?

Your consciousness is in your brain which is located in your body. Nuff said.
