Healing Grief

Grieving helps us recover from bereavement. The large magnificence of nature (the ocean, the stars) are part of this process. Sharing the grief with similarly affected souls is also part of the process.

Status Comfort

Strictly as a matter of comfort, we use the periphery indicators of money or type-of-job or social status to position our selves adjacent to similar souls.

Emotion

Emotions are the frisson of the interaction of souls. It is less that the emotions drive the interaction; rather the path of souls as they grow and interact spins off the emotions in a generative fashion.

Responsibility

You are only responsible for the path of your own soul; you give support for a positive path for the souls of your descendants.

Useful Memories

Souls accumulate memories so that they may prolong their sense of "existence;" memories fight our impermanence by exploding time into thought. Our lives are but indivisible points, drawn out by the powerful lenses of space and time.

Of Consequence

Are only matters of the soul consequential? When we winnow away entertainment (both consumed and produced), the work we perform to please others, and the relationships that moor us, what remains to carry a thread throughout our lives? Just our soul. Is the only thing that matters, matters of the soul?
