"There's nothing metaphorical about "gut feelings," for what happens in the gut really does influence what we feel." Here's an interesting article about how full-bodied the self really is. I disagree with the author's reductionism (see the last line: "we emerge from the very same stuff that digests our lunch"). But what we call the self is very much more "earthy" than many tend to realize--and Scripture has been there all along to point that out to those careful enough to notice. The idea that what "I" really am is not related to my body has its source in ancient Greek philosophy rather than biblical revelation.
