Inquiry Of The High Priestess(Part Three) from Cornelius Coburn's blog

1. What is a "soul?"

2. What is a soul made from?

3. What or who or how did the stuff that makes souls come into being?

4. What exactly is meant by "spiritual?" Define that word/concept precisely.

5. Where is this spiritual realm?

6. Is this spiritual realm finite or infinite?

7. What is this spiritual realm made out of. It's fundamental building blocks. Like we can say that protons, electrons, and neutrons are the building blocks of the physical realm.

8. How did this spiritual realm come into being?

3. This is the part where it gets even more fucked up. Theoretical physics will typically regress to the primordial point, but no farther, with the main reason being, I believe, is that you cannot go any farther. There is nothing beyond, and as a matter of theoretical fact, at this juncture, space, and macrocosmic time does not even exist.

There is this inevitable fork in the road. Where you can either go the one way, and accept a cosmological constant of spacetime being static, infinite, and eternal, as opposed to the other, where things magically appear out of nowhere, without cause, i.e. something from nothing. Either avenue being equally absurd upon sufficient interrogation.

With the above, and all things being equal, including the absurdities, there may still be a tendency for four dimensional beings to find it difficult, if not impossible to fathom an alternate existence of absolutely nothing, or, a negative existence, but with absurdities aside, the principle of parsimony(Occams' Razor) tends to lean in that direction.

So in further pursuit of this insanity you will ultimately come to that which emerges without cause; a self-begotten aspect of the primordial. Ineffable is the acausal of negative existence. That which is at the end of this road, and also at its' beginning.
