Didn't we already have this thread?

Probably. Perhaps you could either link the previous thread, or contribute something to the thread since you're clearly experienced.

Otherwise, just assume that this is a thread made by somebody that doesn't have eyes and ears on every human interaction that is, was, and ever will be taking place: and carry on accordingly.

Yes, the soul can be destroyed, but only The Divine can destroy souls.

It wouldn't be practical at all

>>35774

>Can a soul be destroyed?

Happens everyday in education.

Once read that a being in the direct vicinity of a nuclear blast will.

Yes, I can destroy, damn or save your souls.

Could you elaborate on what you read? I don't know if that would make sense considering the soul is purely metaphysical.

Traditional philosophy defines the soul as the life principle of the human person. So all human faculties are governed by the soul… in fact animals and plants also have qualified souls. The plant has a vegetative soul which governs growth, reproduction, metabolism… the animal has a sensitive soul which governs the same vegetative capacities add the plant with movement and sense. Humans have a rational soul which includes all the above plus a few very peculiar faculties that are inherently independent of matter… reason and free will.

At the death of a material body the life principle that governs each of the faculties is dissolved with it.. the human rings into a problem. The immaterial faculties cannot reside in a material reality… they can simply be manifested by it… this means that the ground of the immaterial faculties must itself be immaterial. If immaterial it does not decay with the material element but lives on… we do not know what kind of life it could have outside the body because all the knowledge and character was formed through the senses. But live on it does! Naturally it has its origin in something capable of producing an immaterial reality and therefore capable of destroying it however this Origin would not likely destroy something to whom it had given an indestructible nature…a contradiction of sorts. .. shop the short answer… the distinctive traits of the human soul cannot be destroyed… and it is in these traits that the personality resides… Good news for those whose choices did not ground their characters entirely in the desire of the past of man that does dissolve with the bodies death.

>free will

Oh, if only we used it.

>we do not know what kind of life it could have outside the body

You should do some metaphysical qigong meditation, you'll figure it out soon enough.

I would suspect not, but I recall an ancient book with the title 'The Death of the Soul', that purported to delineate such methods. It was in a foreign language, so no idea what it said. It is very briefly mentioned (like two sentences I think) in one of the volumes of this book:

HAVE YOU EVER SLASHED A SOUL TO RIBBONS?

HAVE YOU EVER BELIEVED IN A MIRAAAAAAAGE?

MY EARS ARE RINGING

WITH A SOUND

FEEL THE VIBRATIONS MY HEART STARTS TO

POUND POUND POUND

GIVE INTO DARKNESS

BODIES MELT

HOW DO WE PLAY THE CARDS WE'VE BEEN DEALT

DEALT DEALT?

BEAUTY, IT'S HUMANITY'S GREATEST SIN

BEAUTY, HIDING THE BEAST THAT LIES WITHIN

FOR ALL OUR RIGHTEOUS CRIMES WE COMPENSATE

BUT AS FOR ME IT'S FAR TOO LATE

I CAN'T DENY ALL THE VOICES INSIDE MY BRAIN

IT'S NOT A DREAM- WE'RE ONE AND THE SAME!

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A SOUL CAN'T BE CUT

NO MATTER WHAT BLADE YOU WIELD

IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR OWN PATH TO JUSTICE

THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED

THE SOUND'S GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER!
