Though we can survive without our bodies, we cannot thrive in a disembodied state. Assuming
we can have memories without brains, we can think
as mere minds or souls and we can pray,
but we cannot sense and we cannot perform actions that require a physical
means; we are unable to see without eyes and we need legs in order to
dance. Though bodiless communication with other humans might be possible
through telepathy, we would not be able to see, hear, or embrace each other. In
sum, without bodies we would be crippled.
Embodiment is a wonderful gift from God.
