We can't physically locate or draw a picture of the soul, but we can experience it/know it through the effects it has on the mind and body.
And, what I was then saying, is that those effects are just the effects of space and time (encapsulating mind and body).

I must have totally misunderstood what you were trying to say earlier, because I don't agree with this...there are no direct effects the "soul" has on anything. I believe it is there simply because self awareness is not required for living, yet we have it...but even so, that is just a belief I have. It can
easily be argued that absolutely everything we experience comes just from the brain and nothing more. No soul involved whatsoever. This is why debates like these can continue indefinitely in the first place.
