Wow, very interesting. Good to hope in the fact that we are more than a transferable mind.

That's very interesting. Have you read very much about the enteric nervous system? From what I know, it's supposed to be like a brain of its own in the intestines. Reactions, digestion, etc... Here's a Scientific American article on it.

Willamina, could you give some examples of when intestines is used? I find that very interesting. The heart is an important topic. Often in the church we come to believe that the heart is only evil. Jeremiah 17:9 (see above) is often recited: "The heart is desperately evil and beyond cure, who can know it?" Yet only two translations use the word evil instead of sick. What happens when we believe our hearts are only evil? We hate them, ignore them, rebuke them - rather than use them. Sick means we need healing, not evisceration. As Zion notes above, we are to pursue purified hearts.
