Paradoxal Posted August 28, 2020 9 minutes ago, Luxin said: RE "Meaning it can be stolen." I haven't come across the concept of a soul being stolen before. From my own experiences, it can both be stolen and contracted off. Generally speaking, however, the methods of doing so are sealed off if the "individual" is spiritually conscious enough to acknowledge such a possibility and block it (basically any shielding technique is sufficient, unless one is consciously signing their soul away. Such contracts are rather hard to break or revoke.). It is also possible to integrate pieces of two or more souls together, though doing so will generally be harmful to both. Magic dealing in souls is rather misled in that regard, though, it is certainly *possible*, simply not advisable. 14 minutes ago, Luxin said: I haven't come across any reports of psychics seeing soul auras. I believe the psychics who can see auras are witnessing the biomagnetic fields that exist around the chakra points. There are those who can see the field you are talking about, and there are those that can see the "colors" of the souls. Both types exist, and some can see both sides. The color scales for "auras" (generally starting at red and ending at crystal, in the same sort of color schemes and orders as the chakras), when uniform in color and consistency, generally refer to the soul. Said color is usually correlated with the maturity of said soul, in that red souls are in a more immature state than orange souls. While the colors generally listed off as common are indeed similar to the colors of the chakras, they are not sourced from the chakras as far as I can tell. Of course, this color has the potential to change over one incarnation, or to stay the same over multiple hundreds of reincarnations. Other than that, kudos to a fairly accurate assessment and explanation of the concept of "souls", given the difficulty of putting said concept into language. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmeraldHead Posted August 29, 2020 Interesting. Thank you for the responses both of you Pretty sure I was thinking of something here What you call soul I would simply call spirit. indeed anything described as "divine" cannot be fragmented. Perhaps the best way for each person to describe what they are referring to, is to list qualities gained from these principles. Do they boost your thinking speed? Sharpen your senses? Increase your intelligence? Also how could someone nurture them/ "it" ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They must simply be integrated into one's soul(s), shen, loa, DNA, spirit tree, totem etc. What is to be feared is over-dependence (excessive use) A product of Gaia? Show some evidence of that. AI as an academic discipline began in 1956 which included Alan Turing's work and is not produced by Gaia in any way shape of form. Must be integrated? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) One supposes ( since no explanation is forthcoming ) that it is considered 'of Gaia' because 'Man' is a product of Gaia and hence his products are a product of Gaia . But I dont buy that , and I dont buy 'Intent' excuse more so . If I cant see an underlying pattern or force of nature* in Man's works I write them off as ' human mental aberration ' , which I do not see as 'natural' . * of course, this requires a wide ranging knowledge and understanding of those forces . .

AI being spread throughout the galaxy is something out of SciFi. The biosphere is far too complex for a simplistic reductionist supposition.

Well , go for it if you want , do bad all you like , for fun profit or self gratification . But one can gather that experience by observing others 'bad' and its consequences , I dont see why one would have to deliberately and knowingly do bad oneself to 'gather' experience of 'seeing what happens' when one does bad . Anyway , have fun with your experiment . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
