I think the century-plus Lord Ibrahim Tash-Murkon probably doesn’t need guidance from _you_ on that one, though. 😉

For myself…

Hell no. Pun intended.

Still haven’t shown such a thing exists. So no, philosophical vaporware isn’t more important than remaining true to one’s convictions.

So now you’re claiming to be _perfect_? Isn’t that kinda heretical to the Amarr Rite?

Isn’t _that_ ironic.

I don’t think so. She does not claim to be perfect in all respects, just as her mother’s child, etc. That’s different to claiming to be without fault. Some Amarrians believe that this kind of “spiritual perfection” in their roles is the basis of society: a Holder is a Holder while a farmslave is a farmslave because they are perfect for those roles, as God intended.

Just for the record, I don’t want two be saved either. God can eat his divine intentions for dessert for all I care.

Who? Is she supposed to be someone of importance?

Isn’t the only being that is perfect, your God? If you’re perfect, then surely you wouldn’t need him for salvation? And isn’t saying that you’re perfect putting yourself at equal terms with your god and elevating yourself to equal status and thus, making yourself a god?

That sounds shamelessly sinful.

I think you should address your own sin first, before trying to eradicate other people’s.

By telling me that I have inferior blood? And that doctors and medical professionals are abhorrent for using blood to save people?

Doesn’t sound very helpful to me.

That’s a more charitable reading than I’m inclined to give, but if she confirms that, I’ll happily accept it.

Nah. She’s seemed a pretty straight shooter so far, even if there may be a _bit_ of s structural support in an uncomfortable place. I believe her statement about going to bed.

Nope.

It’s a trust thing and feeing thing. And I’m not going to go around in circles with you on this. Not everything in this universe has to be proven empirically in order for it to exist or not.

Maybe one day you’ll find your soul. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere waiting for you to find it.

Then it can keep on waiting. Lived plenty of years without it, I clearly have no need of the fictitious thing.

Poor soul. Alone, floating around out there. Confused. Wondering why it’s corporal component has rejected it. I feel bad for it. Oh well.

Anyway, I’m going to go nurture mine. Do some heavy lifting, take a hot shower, followed by some meditation in my wind garden.

Does the soul wonders.

Every time this argument comes up, it usually ends up baiting Synthia into asserting that she has empirically proven that she, (and her Identical Twin Sister Who Is Not The Same), has a soul, defining it as the indescribable thing that makes her and her sister Different, despite being Identical. Emergent property of experience, memories etc. etc.  
And then someone else claims that’s not what a soul is, but then fails to define what they think it is.

So it’s indescribable, but she describes it anyway?

If it’s defined that way it’s hard to separate from just the path someone’s traveled, which could be explained pretty well as the development of a mind.

_Achura Shuijing_ teaches at the high level (there’s also a more conventional lay version) that the soul is the complete, holistic record of a life-- everything done, every living thing touched as well as every unliving thing: all kindnesses and cruelties, all ripples and influences, literally everything a person has been or done.

It’s the complete record of a life. It’s the totality of who a person is in the greater Totality of all things.

Even if there are no literal spirits guiding us or judging us, it matters what we do, how we live. We shape the world and are shaped by it. Even if we can’t fully foresee the consequences of our actions, is it not better to try to leave a record of positive influences and feeling than of negative?

Even if no one calls us to account, after, the records of our lives remain engraved in time.

When your life ends, what will you have been?
