The brain is just a biological tool to harness the soul, allowing the soul to experience the physical.

Yeah, English is not one of my strongest suits and as such I'm not that good with all it's fancy words, gammar and perks like those you mentioned. So there is that.

Anyways, what I meant was that "the motivation(s) for or towards objects that brings (bring) the world of... ". I'm using the word "motivation" to denote as a general kind of desire (interest, appetite, ...). I included the body because there is the tendency to view the body as construct that is in some way different from an object, and there is the often raised question or notion of the body existing before the soul. This "soul" and it's activity actually begins in the forces and motion of elementary particles which are the substances of nature. These "particles" display and charge to their target or "object" of desire, much as the proton is moved by the electron. That is, it starts it's journey even before the formation of objects as we know them (which is what actually matters, the molecules and their properties such as solidity, odor, etc). It's just that while the action of these particles is involuntary and random, it becomes voluntary and controlled in the animal. Later through evolution, the animal directs it's physical form or body (the visible part of the animal, and which is distinct from and is a vehicle for the animating body). This is the phenomenonal world.

BTW, these different "body" I'm referring to are actually, and is better to call rather as, principles.

In man, this animating body (soul) gives way to the highest function and is now a vehicles for the, what's prefered to call as, spirit (the final core of the self), which is the essential seat of consciousness (and also will and evaluation). This is the noumenal world. Thus his curiosity, appetite for information, brings or manifests the conceptual (mental) world into existence. If his appetite is satisfied then he looks for a new endeavor. While the soul deals in values, the spirit does in purpose.
