Then his soul must inevitably taste the condition of the damned while he is asleep.

But when he is waked at last, and found to be alive, his soul must come back to him, glowing from the eternal flames.

Unpleasant thought! Keyork Arabian, you had far better not go to sleep at present.
Since all that is fantastic nonsense, on the face of it, I am inclined to believe that the presence of the soul is in some way a condition requisite for life, rather than depending upon it.

I wish I could buy a soul.

It is quite certain that life is not a mere mechanical or chemical process.
