Soul
psuche (ψυχή) - the animating life forceEquivalent to Soul, it's the same thing.
See Psyche for what is really the soul
Later reframing
Later theology reframed psuche into the fairytale "soul". A distortion away from the original or natural or real concept. But at some level, these two things are the same, but the implications carry some nuance which must be understood.
- Theologians - view it as external, and a way to live forever. Or at least, they use it to coerce you to join their religion in the hope that YOU can live forever, while donating your money to them. Your virtue and why you follow a religion is so you can Live forever? How selfish. How presumptive of you. How manipulative of them. Without evidence. (Their evidence are ancient trip reports as in revelations, and oracular texts. Which were misunderstood the instant they removed the pharmakon practice out of the religion).
- Scientists and Mystics - view it as a way to experience the divine state. They use experiential terms, like fly away, ascend, etc, but as with witches flying on scopolomines, or reindeer flying on Amanita muscaria, or magic carpet rides with DMT/harmala dye, there doesn't have to be actual flying in order to experience flying.
