How does the SOUL perceive at all after these organs die?
Simple, It can't.
Thank you for asking this. I am amazed that at one time I was a believer in the 'soul' as a separate entity from the mind which is created by the brain organ. The various contrived answers from believers who insist there must be a separate entity called the 'soul' that have answered here prove to me that the 'soul' isn't anything more than a personal desire of the minds continuance, a coping mechanism that functions to make sense of the irrational denial of our very final mortality.

We sense through our Physical senses. We also have the ability the sense and feel things other than what is explainable with human logic and perception. The soul can perceive after the physical death because the human form is just how we think the way things are and we don't look at the fact that we are connected to one another and to everything that was and what is and what will be. The SOUL feels more than you you know. The trick is to learn to listen to the SOUL

Just like you cannot perceive the spiritual world with you eyes and ears - your soul does not exist in the physical world and therefore would perceive spiritual things not physical things. But just like many of us are aware there is a spiritual world you would likely be aware you were once in a physical world.
And think of this. You will always exist at this point in time in a physical sense. However, that touches on the spiritual at the same time. You exist!
Picture this, if I could clone you right now and duplicate all your thoughts and feelings is it now ok to kill you? After all we have a perfect dublication of you and all your thoughts and memories. Or is your existence something more than physical? It is!

Our soul is the animating force of our physical bodies. We never cease being who we are.
Our physical bodies actually die continually, as long as we live in this world. A proven scientific fact.... by age 45 a person has completely replaced their skeleton 4 times. Your entire skeleton has died and rebuilt itself 4 times. Your body is not who you are. Think about it.... seriously......a person 40 or 50 years old is a totally replaced person from what they were in their teens or 20s considering all the skin, hair, and everything else that dies and replaces itself at the cellular level.
How does all this happen, yet a 60 year old can remember childhood stories? That person who was a 10 year old 50 years ago is....physically speaking.....dead.
When the physical body finally shuts down for good, our spiritual essence continues to exist for eternity. Our Soul.... its not that we have a soul....as in having a possession. The Soul is who we are. We do not have a soul...we are a soul.

The soul is an ancient way to describe consciousness and some of the quirks of human existence, often in relation to a person's religion. The Yanomamo, for instance, believe that people have three souls, including noreshi- the animal spirit.
Once the cells that do the thinking cease to function, there is no way perception or consciousness can continue.

I don’t know, am not even sure that it will.
All I know is how I experience God now. When He has spoken to me, it’s not audible, but perceived in the same place as a spoken voice. In other words, not from inside the mind. It may only be one or two words but it is accompanied by an understanding and a profound sense of love. And each time this has happened I was completely taken by surprise.
The same is true with feeling His presence. It’s not like feeling a physical presence, but the presence is there.

Let me see if I can explain it to you. The soul is like a battery - it gives life - not the other way around. A body without a soul is just a shell - it cannot react because it has no juice for it to recognize anything - it is dead. However if you take the battery (soul) out of the shell (body) it doesn't neccarily mean that the soul is out of juice (life) it just means it needs to find another body to live in. If it cannot find another body to live in then it is worthless and "dies" until whatever happens happens (I like to think that it is waiting on the Lord to come, but it would be okay if the soul just died too ... this is how my grandmother explained it to me, hope it helps).

'Great answers, many of these.
I can only add that Soul perceives through means that correspond to its domain and those preceding its domain -- those from which still other means exist above Soul -- just as domains below mirror those from above.
What "regression" exists is in the descending, not the ascending unless of course we favor sensing over thinking or thinking over Knowing.
Say, "As above, so below." What a truth!

the soul is often broken down into mind, will and emotions... all of which are certainly effected by the senses, but not entirely dependent on them (considering you believe in the spiritual and/or the afterlife)
