I would suggest: If we believe that there is a soul co-existent with the
body or at one with it, then we need to consider what else we believe.

I want to wait until others read the book, or the first chapter. I;m not
for skipping chapters because that suggests a apriori judgemnt.
Regarding the body/mind, if the mind is embodied, then what are the limits
of the body? Skin surface in? Do we include bodily fluids and wastes as
part of the body? Do we include speech? Do we include things thrown from
the body? Where does the body begin and end? These may seem like
ridiculous questions but if there is a soul that is co-existent with the
body or at one with it, then we need to know the extension of the body, or
the soul.
