"The soul is the real me". I think Thomas Aquinas took quite a different view: "My soul is not me". What we mean by a human person is a psychosomatic unity of body and soul, so that what it means to be human is precisely to be a body and soul unity. Therefore, it might perhaps be improper to say that the soul is me, at least for Aquinas
