The Soul Is a Space-Filling Substance
If personal continuity after the event of bodily death is a fact, if these psychic or mental functions continue to exist as a separate individuality. This would be an unimaginable breach in the continuity of nature. It is unthinkable that personality and consciousness continuing personal identity should exist and have being, and yet not occupy space. Many theologians also can imagine a soul that is not a space-filling substance. In fact, it's the standard view in the history of Christian thought that the soul and other spirits are not extended in space. They don't fill it.
