Lore about Souls

Lore about Souls

Feb 22, 2023

This is a fictional story:

"All souls are equal". (This means in this world, god also has the same intelligence as a human, just with different body and god ability, this explains why god act like human)

In this story, the oldest god is just a single soul in the universe, he didn't create the universe, he just born inside it and don't know why or who created him.
Maybe he's the creation of some higher being, or just pop into existence like a natural thing in this universe.

This oldest soul wander the universe, and he learn how to attract material to form a body, he begins to gather more and more, and make bigger and bigger body for him.
Then he knows how to abandon body, and jump out as a soul, he gather material and build another smaller body, try it, and the out again and build many bodies.
He tries to build other things, things that not a body, but toys to play with. These kind of "toys" can be inhabit and control by soul(s), but not as effective as body.
In fact, soul can inhabit anything material.

After a long time of creating material based objects, he feels bored and jump out to wander again, this time, he finds something similar to him, but smaller. It's "soul fragments".
Soul fragments are smaller pieces of soul, they are very rare compared to normal material. Soul fragments are not sentient.
He tries to add a soul fragment to himself, but it is repulsed away from him.
He tries again and again, but can not add, he realizes that he is the maximum soul, max amount of soul that can not add more fragment.
Then maybe he can build a new brand new soul?
He tries to gather more soul fragments, but it takes a long time to find a new fragment.

He adds 2 fragments together, they form a larger one, but nothing happen.
Maybe if he add more, something will happen?
He looks at himself and see that he is 12 fragments.
His new quest is to find 10 more fragments and make another maximum, complete soul, like himself.

This is very tedious, but he finally has 10 more fragments.
He put them together with the other 2 fragments, and make a new 12 fragments soul, but nothing happen.
He wonder why, it looks exactly like him, but it's not sentient.
He begins to poke and adjust all of its inside, and something click, activated, a new complete soul, pure and blank is born.
He is overjoyed, he calls it "son". But the son is very stupid, maybe he broke something inside his son when he activated his son.
He teaches his son many things, but the son is too stupid to understand, so he gives his son some material toys to play with. He refuses the responsibility to be a good father.
He wants to create a new soul, and not a stupid one.

He gathers another 12 soul fragments and put them together, this time, he doesn't poke anything inside it. He only poke one time, and it is the activation.
A new complete soul is born, this one is pure and blank, but not stupid. He calls it "son number 2".
He can teach son #2 many things, and let his 2 sons play with each other, but son #1 sometime breaks toys and has tantrum.
With the help of son #2, he can find new soul fragments faster (son #1 is useless).
He praise son #2, scorn son #1, thus son #2 also thinks son #1 is useless, #2 develop a feeling of pride and contempt.

He builds many more complete souls, and learn new things about souls, about himself. He learn that all souls are equal, the same, what different is the information each soul has.
Thus, he keeps the knowledge of "activation" to himself, so he is the only one who can create new souls.
There are many ways to "poke" soul fragments before activation, thus creating different personality to a newborn soul.
He creates mainly 2 types: one who can move fast and pull fragments faster, and one who can "poke" fragments better (more success chance, better traits).
The faster one are called "sons" and the poking one are "daughters".
There are more sons than daughters.

He has a lot of children, some he likes, some he dislikes, but none that he really love.
And new children are becoming more and more the same, he doesn't know how to create "new" personality. Perhaps this is all he can learn, there's limit of how much information he can hold.
He thinks, maybe he should create a new soul that has all traits that he loves (or lacking)
And thus, his lover was born, a female one.
The lover works very well with him, together, they create better souls with better traits. He and his children gather soul fragments, and the lover "poke" new souls.
After a while, the lover becomes his "wife".
And wife wants him to teach her how to create new soul, the "activation", and he agrees, just don't tell the other.

Now there are 2 souls who can create, this makes other souls jealous, "why teach her but not me???"
The new children think the old children is inferior, the old children think the new one are too arrogant, all souls want the "activation" knowledge, they also want soul fragments.
And now, there's war, souls fight each other to steal fragments, knowledge, sometime they steal normal material "toys" or "bodies" if well crafted.
Some souls try to kill other, but they realize that souls can not harm other, once 12 fragments are formed into a complete soul, nothing can separate it.
They can not kill, but they can snatch away stuffs, meanwhile bullying each other with nasty words.

The losers will be exiled far away, this universe is endless, so there are plenty of rooms.
However, the losers sometime sneak back and start another war.
This problem is fixed after a soul finds out that, she can create a material "toy" that can hold a soul, but the soul can not control or escape it, they call it a material "prison"
The losers will be toss inside a material "prison" and stay there. Now, souls have new thing to fear, war is less often, or so it seem.
Trapped soul inside a "prison" can learn about the prison, and then know how to exit, and when they do exit, they will start another war, a very angry one.
They also have good knowledge about prison structure, and can exit more easily if they are trapped again, some can create "key" to open certain types of "prison", some become prison architects.
Some think a new way to break the prison, they can inhabit a material "body" and then use that body to smash open the material prison, thus freeing the trapped soul(s).
This starts a knowledge cold war, all souls try to improve their prison, how to make it harder and more complex. Other try to break it with other material structure.
Thus many other types of material structures were born, such as "weapon", "restraint", "grimoire", .........
- Weapon: can only be wielded by material body, weapon can destroy other material very easily
- Restraint: a material structure that can impair soul, reduce soul movement, sense, ....... only effective if near.
- Grimoire: a material code book, contain soul knowledge, it's very difficult for a soul to read Grimoire (soul knowledge written on material thing will change significantly)
The soul must inhabit a body first, and then read grimoire, remember it, than turn back to soul and translate, fix this corrupted code into understandable form.

Souls can not be destroyed, but the information they hold can be erased, not by any outside power, but only by time.
If a soul doesn't train its memory, it will forget information.
A soul with maximum information can not learn new thing, if it tries to learn new information, the least trained information in its memory will be erased.
Souls will slowly learn things about their environment, if a soul is outside of material body, it will learn soul knowledge, if it's inside material body, it will learn material knowledge.
So, it's possible to make a soul forget that it is a soul, by trapping it inside material structure long enough.
A very good prison can also work, but the soul will try to get out, also prison is old technology, there are many ways to break it.

Thus, a female soul invents a new type of prison, the "pleasure body":
- "Pleasure body" combine "body", "toy", "prison", "restraint" into one thing. This body will make soul feel nice when inside, similar to "toy". Once enter, it's very hard to leave.
This body will reduce soul ability to sense other soul, to learn soul knowledge.
- The "toy" aspect in this body is very strong, makes souls feel really good, but only when doing certain conditions. For example: keeping itself from being destroyed, make more of itself.
And thus, this "pleasure body" is also called as "living creature".
One "living creature" will make many more, and there will be many more "pleasure bodies" to trap unwanted souls.
Living creatures are simple at first, holding soul not too long, but they automatically become more complex and better at surviving, thus holding soul longer.
Living creatures can even work without any soul inside it, survive, grow and replicate all by itself, but the one that can attract soul will have more advantage (soul helps body more).
Time pass, there are mostly two types of living creatures:
- Souless living creatures: very simple, its code is optimal to replicate quickly, die fast but replicate even faster.
- Living creatures: Complex, big brain, soul like to stay, but low in number.
Souls that forget how to be a soul, will stuck in reincarnated circle, these souls are easily control by other (not trapped) souls to do their bidding.

From now on, things become really complicated, countless soul knowledge, material knowledge are learned, new souls are born, a lot of new living creatures are created, soul war, 
material war, relationship, power, manipulation, ......
I can not tell you how things are going, but I can tell you that, "human" is one of the most favorite living creature to live inside.
Good pleasure, and you can attains Enlightenment (exit) after a average of 1000 years, pretty quick.
Moreover, human is the creation of a very famous female soul, human fit very well with soul.

Mics: some souls suspect that the soul is not belong to this universe, why soul is indestructible? Being indestructible is a violation of the universe laws.
Maybe souls belong to other universe?? Some souls dedicate themselves to find the truth about this, and want to go to their "home land".
