I like that.
It reminds me of something ancient.
Like an abandoned vine-covered temple in the jungles of Bengal.

I don't agree (as much as I like Lewis's writings). It has never been shown that a soul can exist without a body as its vessel. It seems implied that a body (and a mind associated with that body) must first be in existence for a soul to be present. Just my opinion, though.

And a very C.S. Lewis quote it is. Smart man he was.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

This is almost similar to the excerpt from Hindu religious book "Bhagvad Geeta", where lord says - "You are atman (soul) and it uses body as its Clothes".
Truth!

Hmm....never thought of it that way before.
It actually makes sense. The body is temporary. The soul is permanent.
I like it.

Or as spiritualists say:
we're not humans having a spirit experience, we're spirits having a human experience
