What can I say?! I'm at work, but not actually working. Lisa has me "Standing By" while the Circ. people go for the mail. So, that's exactly what I'm doing right now.
I was contemplating the soul several days ago. I was thinking about just the general jist of it all and I came to the conclusion that all theories that have been brought to light are wrong. [Talk about getting too big for your briches!!!]

I believe that the soul is many versions of the same thing. It is only the experiences that we encounter that makes them LOOK different. With each different soul, there are different aspects and qualities. Aspects are large definable emotions and qualities are those that are not definable. The soul is drawn to the aspects of a particular soul variation and so this explains soulmates and/or different types of people creating a friendship.

There is, I beleive, a demensional filter that catches souls and disperses the Aspects throughout the physical world. It's kind of like a particular catcher only catching fast balls but when it comes to slow ones, he chokes. Love, Hate, Courage, etc. are separated and grouped together. In turn, they can only be expelled from the filter by two's or else they are stuck until the closest resembling Aspect [with like qualities] can draw it from the filter.

Now, the reason that the soul and its Aspects answers the question about soulmates and different people creating a fellowship of the ring type of deal is because of the Aspects that rain down from the other demension. At a given time, different people are drawing different Aspects to them. From a soul variation, a person may get Love and another person may get Love as well, but with different qualities, from the same soul variation. Since the soul is always drawing on itself, it will draw these two different people together because of the Aspect that binds them.

Souls can react to their environment. The soul's purpose is to learn and inturn pass on information. In order to do so, it must [at times] change to fit a given situation. The Aspect will go dorment and allow another Aspect to take over only if the qualities remain in check. For instance,
Aspect = Love [dorment Aspect = Hate],
Qualities = like, strong will, strong character, and determination.
With these qualities the Love Aspect can go dorment and allow for Hate to become dominant Aspect, thus down playing Hate to create a warrior-like state of mind. If the mind can take the constant pressure, the qualities will keep strong Aspect in check, if not, the person will succumb to the new Aspect.

The constant pressure being discussed above refers to the constant bombardment of Aspects raining down on a person. Since only one Aspect at a time is being drawn to him/her, the problem comes from the differing qualities that are associated with the Aspects. Dominant Aspects tend to control the qualities, but at times a strong quality may create upheveal in a person. This creates the effect that people refer to as "mood swings". This condition may grow more intense or less only if the Aspect and other qualities can bring it into check.

And so ends my theory.
