The soul is the ether. The soul is lightest of all substances. It weighs nothing and has no effect on anything but time. Likewise, time is the only thing that affects the soul. This ethereal soul is “atomic familiarity” that exists and becomes “collective knowledge” because of the unique relationship that the soul has with time. Remember, all the matter in the universe is just cosmic debris floating through nothingness at every velocity. All that exists in the great nothing are atoms whizzing about reacting with other atoms. Some of the atoms repel each other. Some of the atoms attract each other. Some react violently when combined and some hardly react at all. Some of the atoms that combine together well and that aren’t exposed to any violent reactor atoms, will in time have a chance to become more complex molecules. Molecules that fair well by avoiding violent reactors in their existence have a chance to combine with more friendly molecules. If the molecules can avoid any violent reactors, they may eventually form an object that we can actually see with our eyes. The bigger it gets, the stronger its composition and hence the more resilient it becomes to violent reactors. It grows and grows and absorbs more matter… especially as it become massive enough to have its own gravity. Eventually it becomes a massive star that implodes on itself and the whole process occurs all over again from scratch.
The soul is not dragged along through time with these atoms that constitute one particular piece of matter, but rather forged entirely by the atomic memory of this collection of atoms that has existed for so long side-by-side. The most basic bit of universal knowledge is simply a complex molecule’s memory of which atoms react well with it and which ones reacts poorly. Thus, the base root of all thought is “self-preservation”. Self-preservation is the genesis of the soul. The soul is collective knowledge that is only affected by time and thus has the ability to change. The only concern of the soul at this lowest level is to stay in existence. However, the soul is an ego growing through time. It becomes more and more aware of itself the longer the idea of self-perseverance exists with the soul. The soul, on some level, lets the molecules collectively know that what they have formed together is special and worth preserving.
Some kinds of molecules are better developers of the soul. Biological matter, for instance, seems to be the best conductor of collective knowledge. That is not to say that other matter doesn’t have a soul; just perhaps one that is not quite as developed as those formed by biological matter. Biological matter is different than most matter. It doesn’t look to preserve itself by just avoiding violent reactors, but rather to actively look for friendly reactors. And biological matter has other ways of collecting self-preservation knowledge than just getting bigger. It learns how to divide itself and reproduce duplicates of itself to send out and collect more knowledge. The more knowledge it collects, the more knowledgeable the soul becomes. Eventually biology chooses to create internal systems for self-preservation, allocating some matter to sense and protect against violent reactors. At the same time, biological matter creates system to sustain the self by growing, but also dividing into a new self. This division brings up the ideas of reproduction, which is, at its core, a defense mechanism developed to protect the fragile state of biological matter from the effect of time. While biological matter is an excellent conductor of the soul, it is very susceptible to aging. Reproduction combats this. Each successive generation sprouted forth carries with it the expanding collective knowledge of its predecessor in a newborn body. It starts its term of existence in the universe, collects self-preservation knowledge and passes it on to its progeny before it decays.
Finally, the soul and ego becomes so great within a biological collection of matter that certain systems are created just for the garnering of self-preservation knowledge. The basic brain is formed by an impression created by the wake of knowledge collected through time by the biological molecules forming it. That’s why self-preservation is at the core of our psychological ego. The brain knows that it exists and, that knowledge makes the brain aware that it is special. The brain is hard-wired to protect its own uniqueness. However, while the brain is self-aware on some level and can collect knowledge, it is composed of biological matter and eventually decays and dies. Hopefully, before it decays it does reproduce and pass of the collective knowledge of the biological atoms that formed that brain and hence, pass on the soul.
Over time, the soul advances and thus advances biology in the wake of its self-preservation knowledge. More complex biological beings come into existence until at some point the soul develops the first human mind that is not only self-aware, but also able to cross-over the barrier and consider the existence of one's soul. This extreme level of ego makes us very prideful of thus more actively concerned about the continuation of our soul's existence even after our body decays.
Fret not. For as long as there is biological matter to transmute our souls, we are eternal.
