Theory and Analysis:Nature of Souls
It will eventually be fleshed out with examples and the like.
Based off of supporting evidence concerning Destrudo, Libido, A.T. Fields, Anti A.T. Fields, and the general behavior of how souls are depicted, the following is a theory on the nature of souls from a metaphysical biological point of view.
Evidence/Assumptions
- Destrudo is an actual, measurable psychic energy.
- Libido is an actual, measurable psychic energy.
- Libido and Destrudo are, for all practical purposes, opposing forces, what one does is symmetric to what the other does.
- Matter that does not contain a soul (dead dead (D2) stuff) does not decompose to LCL upon Third Impact. However...
- "Dead" stuff (different from above) CAN decompose to LCL.
- All living things possess a soul. No exception.
- Souls stay with the vessel after death. But...
- Souls disappear from the vessel within a finite time after death of the vessel. However...
- The time for the soul to disappear is unknown and variable, probably.
- First and foremost, the A.T. Field is, for all practical purposes, a barrier protecting the soul.
- There are two different types of A.T. field (although it really is only one A.T. Field), one associated with physical separation, and one associated with psychological separation.
- The A.T. Field is linked to the ego border.
- The Anti A.T. Field is an opposing field to the A.T. Field, and operates on similar things.
- Both the A.T. Field and Anti A.T. Field require energy to operate.
- The field of Metaphysical Biology is an overriding extension of the regular physical laws.
Theory
- Souls constantly generate/produce an A.T. Field, thus protecting itself from the intrusion of other souls. However, this isn't to say that the A.T. Field can't be weakened, strengthened, broken, neutralized, etc.
- The ego is the psychological manifestation of the A.T. Field, and the body is the physical manifestation of the A.T. Field. The relative strength and changes of these are a result of Libido and Destrudo reactions manifesting through the A.T. Field.
- The creation process responsible for this is due to a Libido reaction in the soul which then utilizes its A.T. Field to organize surrounding biomass into a living organism according to the soul's concept of itself. On the psychological side, this is also putting up a mental barrier of the ego, not allowing outside mental contact.
- Similarly, the destruction process is due to a Destrudo reaction in the soul which then utilizes the A.T. Field to destroy the ego border previously wrought according to a lack of a concept of self. On the psychological side, this is equivalent to breaking down the barrier of the ego, welcoming outside mental contact.
- Both of these reactions require energy, meaning it's not spontaneous either way.
- And at death, the Libido and Destrudo energies are at equilibrium.
- When the forces due to Libido/Destrudo are not taking precedence, regular physical and chemical laws, such as molecular cohesion, are in operation.
Derivations/Explainations
- The decomposition to LCL during Third Impact and similar occasions is due to destrudo causing the soul to destroy the A.T. Field and the manifestations that arise from it, the ego and the body.
- The Anti A.T. Field is what typically causes this destrudo reaction.
- This process of destrudo occurs by destroying the soul's individualization (self image) and this percolates down the chain of soul -> A.T. Field -> ego/body, manifesting this destroyed self image.
- D2 stuff does not decompose to LCL because there is no soul for there to be any destrudo effect. Without the energy to make any changes through libido and destrudo, matter stays as it was. Hence the difference between a "destroyed" A.T. Field and an A.T. Field that "vanishes" from the shell it once inhabited.
Notes
- Apparently, Libido and Destrudo can be generated artificially.
- It would appear that Lilith's messengers during the Third Impact can be thought of as the manifestation of her Anti A.T. Field, and these messengers are ultimately responsible for causing the destrudo reaction destroying the A.T. Fields, decomposing lifeforms into LCL.
