Is it possible that the conscious thoughts and feelings of the Scribe might arouse the interest of non-terrestrial entities, or, perhaps it was planned this way. It's a decades long game of experience and exploration, and it ain't over yet.

But ultimately in the end, all we are left with is experience. Which continuously must be renewed to avoid becoming subject to a stale eternity.

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?

9. Summary.

9. Not that I would call myself a scientist, but science as a tool will only go so far; it's not that cut and dry in what category I would place myself, and once upon a time on another forum, one witch said to the other "There isn't a name for what he is.", maybe not, but I suppose 'Scribe' would suffice if nothing else.

Once science has been exhausted, either alone, or in combination with other methods, all that is left, as far as I can tell, are analogies, extrapolation, inferior reflections, and of course intuition as well as altered states are also of use. Not to mention various esoteric literature in which the wheat must be separated from the chaff.

And of course at the end of the day, one might inquire "Does any of it really matter?", and I would say the answer is both yes and no. The default answer should be that this reality is primarily about experience(the verb), which is mostly dependent on what any given individual was created to do, or, what they excel at, whatever it may be, in order for that particular 'verb' to be maximized, or said another way according to an avid mountaineer, chess enthusiast as well as Qabalist among other things(drug fiend). The Mega Therion...

8. C knows what I'm going say here, and as a matter of fact, without checking, I'm pretty sure I already have. Not only here, but elsewhere on the forum as well. So I could just say 'acausal' and maybe post a music track, and that would be that, or, I could at least indulge a couple paragraphs while simultaneously steering clear of all but the slightest degree of redundancy. Wishful thinking, perhaps.

In order to formulate a reply here. The neat, tidy, and structural orderliness of this current reality construct must be vacated, following a descension into the chaos of which gods are born. So maybe a very brief descriptive loop of nothing : chaos : order : entropy(returning to chaos) : ad infinitum. It makes absolutely no sense how anything can emerge from a static eternal state of absolute nothingness, but in any event, these are the paradoxes of that which is, and that which is not, that require resolution - if that's your thing, you know, like maybe a side gig or something.

It's not necessarily trying to visualize a negative existence, because it's more like the absence of imagination, or any visualization. You can visualize the primordial Godseed, but a common error would be to visualize it within a spatial construct which is not the case. Probably the best route is just to 'say' that there was an eternity when nothing existed, and then something happened - to steal a quote from 2001 A Space Odyssey : something wonderful.

So, the spiritual realm, and everything else came into being via this mysteriously magical and wonderful 'saviour' from this dreaded eternal nothingness, this magic that forever, without cause, causes the wheels of eternity to be forever in motion, with music and whatever else, as opposed to an eternity of silence - ignorance may be bliss, but I still go with the former.

Thus, the cosmological constant has now been upgraded to an acausal element which is not a constant, constant, but more of a recurring constant in that all times past, and all to come, it...

I believe I recall that C said that she likes INXS, so this is a good wrap on this, plus I may do a supplemental follow-up here, just for the hell of it.

7. Whether it's spiritual or material. It's just different densities of the same fundamental concept. Material has its' varying densities of solid, liquid, and gas, defined by the atomic mass of their varying constituents. The atoms are mostly composed of empty space, densest at the core which is bound of the next least dense fundamental, that of energy, or, force.

Energy and force I believe are about as close as you can get to the nature of spirit, or, consciousness - similar in density, but different functions. The physical vessel is driven by material electrons, but the animator that commands it is more akin to force; more subtle and less dense.

The forces vary, from the binding force of atoms, and the eventual release of this energy back to the cosmos in the form of radiation, to the invisible electromagnetic that traverses the terrestrial, as well as the aethereal sphere, and of course gravity(attractive) and dark energy(repellant).

So it would be posited here that among all of these, the most fundamental would be spirit, or, consciousness, or said another way(C), via a most renown Hermetic axiom - all is mind.
