soul/mind/...

["Kevin Collins" <kcollins@bilbo.bio.purdue.edu>]

I would like to request that everyone with a book read the section
that explains the roles of the SOUL, MIND, SPIRIT, and LIFE (FORCE?).

I have heard a couple of people say that the SOUL is a link to the 
divine.  Does this mean that nomads can function fine without souls?
What about other characters that have no intention with gaining 
divine spells or attract the power of the gods?

I don't see why the MIND/SOUL/SPIRIT should be linked to one another.
I thought the book stated that there are four separate aspects that make
up creatures.  This would allow creatures (including elves) to survive
and prosper without having a SOUL.  Since an elf can become a nomad and
make nomadic incants, it proves that the SOUL is not linked to the SPIRIT.
Unfortunately, the book mentions the "spiritual soul".  This makes things
confusing because the book also has a separate description for the SPIRIT.

Just my thoughts.
