The Location Of The Soul Inside The Body

The soul has the following basic functions to perform:
To give life to the body and to maintain life inside it.
To express and experience its role through the body,             and
To receive the rewards or fruits of past actions performed in
previous births, through the body.

These functions are controlled and monitored by the soul via the nervous
and hormonal systems from a particular point in the area of the brain which
contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands. This
region is known as the seat of the soul, or the "third eye". The connection
between the physical (body) and the non-physical (soul) is by the medium of
thought energy. Many religions and philosophies place great importance on
the third eye, or "eye of the mind". When viewed from the front, this region
appears to be between and slightly above the line of the eyebrows. It's for
this reason that Hindus use a "tilak", a dot in red or sandalwood paste in
the middle of the forehead. Christians also make the sign of the cross in
this region. Even when one makes a mistake or expresses tiredness it's to
this region that we put the hands in the gestures of self-dismay or
exhaustion. After all the soul subconsciously knows that it makes the
mistakes and not the body. When people are concentrating deeply in thought
it is this area of the forehead where creases or lines are formed on the
skin.
