From this thread, and I didn’t want to take it too far off topic.
So I said:
I don’t believe in such a thing as a human soul, at all - humans are just entities incarnate, imo. What’s different is the access to resources, skills and wisdom across the species.
And @Mind_Seeker20 asked:
To address these separately:
-
So you don’t think the human soul exists?
a) I don’t use the term “soul” - I think it’s too vague and means too many different things to different religions to be a useful label. I don’t think I really know what that means, so I can’t believe in it, and I cant really use that word. I have used it on occasion, if its was already established in the context of the conversation to be what I think of as spirit, then I can get that - I sometimes just try to stick to the language already used for the same of an easier conversation.
b) Since I think a human is an aggregate of animal plus spirit, it’s impossible to have a “human” “soul”, because a human is not a type of spirit. -
That all humans are just different types of entities incarnated here?
Erm, I wouldn’t say “just”, but mostly, yes. I’m not sure where I stand on complexities like ‘meatsacks’, I kind of want to meet one to see how my system interacts with them, but I never saw one yet. -
Or species since you used that word
In his context, I meant the human species. Each human’s ability to feel it’s spirit, use spiritual skills and build spirit while human varies from person to person. -
and then give some examples of what you mean by entities?
At a minimum, a pattern of energy that maintains itself as a distinct, recognisable pattern. Commonly but not restricted to patterns occultists can share names and verified gnosis on. -
Kinda like the human body is more of an vehicle or even interface for entities to use in order to experience earth/etc?
Yes. Only if you replace “entities” with “us”, and that’s more like what’s in my mind
