On the soul.

A little dissertation on my take of the Soul, as response to Rowsdower's posed question. It's a bit of a ramble so I hope this one makes sense. The soul is a hard thing to describe after all.

Explaining your Higher Self is very difficult indeed. You did quite well. I'm impressed.

[Spiritrunner6]

Thank you! It still feels stumbling and akward to explain though. But then how DOES one explain? it is like picking up a single puzzle piece and then describing the whole picture to another person with only that as an example.

What is the instrument that plays at the beginning of your video?

What is the character? What does it mean?

[Spiritrunner6]

Oooookay, the bumper in detail!

The song is called 'the dragon's breath' by David arkenstone. the instrument you hear is a bagpipe of one sort or another. The song is so melancholy and soulful that it is one of my big faves.

The chinese (I think it was chinese? I can't remember now) character means simply 'dragon'. Or at least I hope so?

Amd finally the dude is a drawing of myself as I see myself on a soul level. ...to the best of my drawing ability at the time anyways.

Hmm I really like this philosophy, it coincides with my own spiritual experiences. I will definetly be pondering on this for days. One little thing though, in the Bible there is a distinct difference between The Holy Spirit and The Personal Spirit. This can be hard to discern for many because there is much more talk of the Holy Spirit. I suppose you could consider the HS to be the soul of God.

[Spiritrunner6]

I see I see. I've usually equated the 'holy spirit' to being divine inspiration not god's actual soul. I suppose I shall have some rethinking to do of my own when it comes to how I choose my words in the future. Thanks for the tidbit. ^_^

That will come in time from another sourse..mainly willgray42.

and yes...you did earn this sub. my friend

[TheWayOfGray]

Interesting concepts. I have no idea what has taken me so long to subscribe. Sillyness I guess. Well i am here now my friend. It is always a joy of mine to hear and try to understand diffrent and new points of view

[FlamesRevge]

Always good advice when playing around things even if they're blunt...

And also if something's solid, no matter how shiny it is it shouldn't be going though you, even if you like shiny things or like jumping or pouncing or sitting or sleeping (I could go on and on with this list) it shouldn't go though you unless your eating it. (And then it shouldn't go though your throat either)

[Spiritrunner6]

Hehe yeah, coming out with all your fingers still attached is a good thing. It's funny though, no matter how much you learn there's always something new to discover. I guess that is one reason why I like knives and swords so much.

in the end though, all that -really- matters is to always remember this one detail:

"The pointy end goes into the other man".

[FlamesRevge]

And on that certain subject you earned mine too (a while ago)...

But on the other subject of weapondry i think i might need training in knowing what not to do with knives in medieval reenactments like:

Do not swing knives at plants. deffently spikey ones and ones the knife can swing back around and... well... yeah.

Do not wack your foot repeatedly, deffently when your hand is near it.

Surprisingly, I left with all fingers.

But Anyways, without going off-topic, keep up the good videos
