One counter argument that I would like to present for my position is John Locke’s metaphysical theory. According to Locke personal identity does not involve the body at all‚ the person could be classified purely by his soul. If this is true‚ then Locke suggests that the person could be transferred between multiple bodies by only his soul. In one of Locke’s essay he states that personal identity would follow the thoughts themselves‚ and not the thinking substance. Therefore‚ he believes that our identity

Before I try to explain what I think the song (forty-six & 2 by TOOL) means‚ it is necessary for you to know several metaphysical concepts. I got almost all of this information on this page from a book the band recommended on their 1994 newsletter called Nothing in This Book is True‚ but It’s Exactly How Things Are by Bob Frissell.

Love as an Entity There are different varieties of love‚ each with its own capabilities to invoke powerful emotions.

Another potent form of love is pure love which is unconditional and timeless as expressed by Shakespeare and Elizabeth Berrett Browning. On a different note‚ a twisted love is flawed and bound

The poems Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson and Epitaph by Sir Walter Raleigh‚ both share the universal issues of their liminal journey from life to death and beyond. I believe that these universal issues resonate beyond the texts‚ because they discuss topics that have been relevant for thousands of years such as religion and also address the question so frequently asked by men over time‚ what becomes of one after death? The poem Epitaph written by Sir Walter Raleigh‚ begins by discussing his journey
