It struck me just now that it feels odd to think of myself as mortal...

...Because the mind surely feels eternal. In my mind the perfect idea is that we can become immortal or somehow - in a way, last forever.
Your thoughts?

Your mind or your soul???
Neither can be pinpointed btw so they might as well be the same.

You cannot define either. And if you can, you can pretty much rest assured they both have the same definition.

Sure however the mind would be inside our brain in a way so at least you can deduct that. The soul is something I wouldn't even try to begin to describe.

Not in a physical body - however if there is a different plane of existence rather that what we know of, I'm sure there would be possibility there.
