minus-square@rainrain@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 months agoWhat do you mean by soul? You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague. Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.
minus-squareRhynoplazlinkfedilink0•edit-22 months agoIf anything, I think “mind” might be what you’re looking for. Why complicate things with an indefinable term like soul?
minus-square@rainrain@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 months ago“Attention” is a closer match. Mind (or “intellect” if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts. Soul would be a body of attention. Its shape somewhat dynamic, somewhat permanent. The mind and experiences depending from it.

minus-square@rainrain@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 months agoWhat’s your argument? What’s your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing. So seriously. Gimme something substantial.
minus-square@rainrain@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 months agoWhat did I fail to address? The “no the whole concept is just an excuse etc…” or “do you mean mind etc…?”?. Because neither fits the bill. Come on, gimme something solid. Also, are you into meditation?

You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.

“Attention” is a closer match.

Soul would be a body of attention. Its shape somewhat dynamic, somewhat permanent. The mind and experiences depending from it.
Would you like to discuss it?
No. This is nonsense.
What’s your argument? What’s your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing.
So seriously. Gimme something substantial.
You were obviously not listening.
What did I fail to address? The “no the whole concept is just an excuse etc…” or “do you mean mind etc…?”?. Because neither fits the bill.
Come on, gimme something solid.
