One could say that there was a brain. That it simply wasn't in the same physical location as the thought taking place. However that isn't really what is implied in the book. So what is implied?
So the brain is a spirit's anchor in the world? It allows thought to become physical reality?
My personal instinct is to treat the soul/spirit and the physical brain as two separate entities, for simplicity's sake where the laws are concerned. Otherwise you wind up with oddities where brain death (and damage) is concerned.
