Is it our souls or our front lobes in the brain that make up our personality? (to be continued in details below question
And if someone switched my brain for someone else..would my soul switch too? Cause if they had my brain..wouldn't they know what I know and in a since BE me? People who have out of body experiences come back having saw things or heard things..wouldn't they have needed their brain to be able to do that still? Or does our soul do the same job? Or what about astro travlers..they leave their body and travel around and come back to tell about it.

Your personality is developed, from your life experieances. They are also influanced by parents and family. And by your friends and the people you respect. And sadly, people you dislike for any reason. You are also influenced be what other people think (good or bad). Traditions, nationality, your size, shape, what you eat! Their is not much that doesn't influance persoality. I think everyone, from the time of conception develops a set morals to live by. I also know, that very deep inside of everyone, maybe the soul their is somthing so uniqe and special that makes you, you! And that includes your personality. It's like a finger print, Nothing like it in the world, except you!

As I understand it, the brain of your body is like a radio tranceiver - it transmits and receives between primarily your Mental Body, which is a finer material / higher-dimensional construct that surrounds your physical body. The Emotional (or Feeling) Body does the same.
The higher-dimensional and consciousness parts of one are so far not known directly by science, so they have only part of the whole picture to base their understanding upon - and therefore their understanding is very incomplete, and the conclusions they draw only very partially true.
The Soul is on another higher dimensional level again, than the Subtle Bodies that I described above. It attempts to use the physical body to express itself and gain experience of the physical.
As I understand it, personality is largely made up of the programming that we receive from parents and mentors / authorities when we are growing up, and from ancestors' programming (in our genetics). This will be partly hard-wired into the physical nervous system / brain, and partly in the Subtle Bodies (Emotional and Mental).
And yes - heart transplant patients do on occasion notice changes in personality due to the transplanted organ - which shows that the programming I referred to above is not just in the brain, but in the whole substance and all parts of the physical body.
So I think that if a whole-brain transplant WERE possible, that like the heart transplant there would be some transfer of personality traits... and what would be the results for the Soul is hard to tell.... but I would be surprised if it will ever happen that a brain is able to be transplanted! Goodness knows what mistakes would be made by a surgeon attempting such a task! The Soul, however, is NOT the personality, which is a part of the Soul's physical, emotional and mental composite "equipment" for interfacing with Earth dimension. Destroying a part of the brain does not change the personality itself, but simply cuts off the physical from receiving signals from that part of the personality - like a damaged radio receiver that can only access a few bands of radio broadcasts.Like (1)

I don't expect much support on my view that consciousness alone exists - it is the same no matter what body a soul views from. Personality probably is affected by physiology, but the soul can overcome or change individual personalities.

Just for argument sakes lets say a soul existed and "lived" inside your body, I would think since the soul is the meant to be the real you, that during your life as your body grew it would of been what helped program your body's brain into functioning in the patterns that it does.... so the being which you are at the moment would be a combination of the both of them during that life so that if there was any transitions in bodies with the soul there might not be an accurate repeat of the personality since the pre-programed brain is elsewhere then the soul was.... if it does move it might be by your choice to shift bodies with the brain, and you may only know if that choice was an option if that ever happened. Now say there is no soul and you are just the mind that the brain makes up and it was put into another, it would be you in there then, but it again would not function correctly for it was programmed over your life to control the body you currently exist in and there might actually just be one hell of a lot of confusion since all the patterns would be registering differently in the brain.... anyway just random thoughts at the moment, I don't know any of this **** for certain.

I would not look at the soul and your personality as one and the same. I belief, personality is defined as the way you act under certain circumstances, the way you make decisiions. I don't think, your soul necesarily needs to be part of your decission making process.
In my opinion, if you would switch out your brain with somebody elses your sould probably be confused and disconected to its ellement... Your personality would change, your soul still be the same.Like (1)

Me too. I have heard of heart transplant patients changing afterwards. Like we're in the tissue.

According to a recent Harris Poll, 84% of Americans believe that they possess a soul that will survive after the death of their bodies. (I looked it up)
All of the characteristics that we typically associate or identify with souls are causally dependent upon the existence of a brain and nervous system. At death, the brain ceases to function, so the soul ceases to exist at the same time the body does. There are different accounts of what a soul is...Like (1)

The fact that the every aspect of our consciousness and physical function can be effected by affecting various parts of the brain does not mean, prove or even imply that the brain produces consciousness as the very opposite view can be just as conclusively implied by the same evidence...i.e. that consciousness is merely reflected in the brain and not produced by it.
Currently mainstream science is (like a pseudo religion it is) taking the former assumption for granted and reverse engineering their theories to suit this assumption.
Which is not scientific at all, just dogmatic.
One of the main reasons for this is that they like to maintain a neat division between science and meta physics.....so as not to appear to entertain views that may damage their professional standing...
I.e the peer review process as censorship!
Peer pressure plain and simple!
