I keep asking people about they believe in soul or spirit to make it even clearer something that has nothing to do with emotions or physical attributes
btw i am not religoius and despise superstition so keep that in mind . iI am not just trying to be believer
and i am very suprised to find 3 or 4 people regardless of their faith or some of them not even being religious also come up to me and say form themselves without any influence or sugestion to me that they believe in almost indentical ideas of what a soul or spirit is and that they do somehow beleive they could be something more then this body
when i say similar i truly mean strikingly similar … where you would be amazed how accurate they are…
everyone seems to like the idea that they are nothing… and that they are immaterial and perhaps immortal… everyone of them seem to share the idea of not getting hurt by phsyical consequences as a desire…
I always think that the things we do as humans surpass other animals… not because of our advancements like many try to only propose… i think lately that we are so unique that we amongst MANY OTHER traits give care to other animals and give them life and shelter… no i dont just mean pets i mean real intervention for the better for other animals… most of us forget that we are animals too… and the fact that we care for other animals in great detail is amazing… that we care about the whole and affect the whole… i think people are becoming too mechanical about things and forget that we do amazing things that we really did not outright need to do
BUT the complication is here that many people might say we do all that because it is important for our survival and that its all mechanical intellectual thing and that we do not have a spirit and a soul…
but i want to try to think differently that we NOT only NEED TO but the fact that WE WANT TO that its in our NATURE to CARE for and TEND to other life and that we are interested to LEANR EVERYTHING ABOUT other life… most animals never do that… that we EXHIBIT “godlike” feutures in these regards
IS IT THEN just a coincident that it seems many of us share the desire to be more then just an intelligent animal in body but also a spriit?
are these things just a social phenomena or can this be just more then speculation about our nature… our inner nature?
I know sociaty affects everything regardless , i know that from psychology but there is a tiny chance that somethings are affected first through our nature…
we humans tend to share dreams of flying and hearing fantastic music in our dreams or in our mental dreams … we also love to love… while love is a complex word for alot of godlike functions… okay animals do it to but i didnt say animals did not have a spirit or love…
i just increasingly wonder if there is more to it then just pure psychology or dna or sociological things… if its actually something more to our nature then bones and blood…
I know by research that on wikipeida over 12 cultures and religions believe commonly in a god and spirit and afterlife…
I am not here to get answers on GOD OR AFTERLIFE … dont make this about something then its not …this is about the question are we more then a body and is spirit that nature that we exhibit through virtue of loving things that we do and caring things…
I differ from most people also on one idea… that i believve humans are good in nature regardless of spirit or not… i do not believe in any evil cause evil is an illusion to me… where the deeper you go the more weakness you find not more power… therefore evil is not created in my opinion by will but by lack of will…
in this sense … i do not look at the presens of good or bad a challenging enough evidence that there is a spirit or not… for me that is not a criteria.
