Sicknesses of the
soul are something you don't learn about, except in
odd liberal arts classes. Apparently, we don't
need to care if our
soul is sick, as long as we don't have
a headache. Just so you know,
I did not invent these; they're
real and
quite well-known in the kinds of places where
the Soul matters.
The Sicknesses of Soul are
progressive; that is, you start off with one and as it gets
worse you develop the
rest. Think of them as the
same illness in
three stages.
I'm
noding these for those of you who
know there's an afterlife but don't buy the
hype surrounding
it. Hey, I don't think you have to
pay the Pope to get to
Heaven, either. But the
way I see it, if there
REALLY IS a
Soul, and it
really does go on, then it's
safe to assume that the
state of your soul at the time of your
death might really
determine where it/you "goes" when
the body thing is done.
And those of us
riding this particular
train of thought natually want to know
one thing: What, REALLY, might
determine the difference between
soul in good shape vs.
lemon soul? Nobody ever
feels the need to research things like this. This is one of the
great follies of our
culture in my
opinion. We keep
inventing new bras and
new cars and
new TV, but we don't
give a shit about our
immortal souls.
Hey, if you don't
know that you have a
soul, you don't have to worry about
any of this, I guess. You can
beg off with some
excuse about "
beliefs" or something. But if you
know, and you
want to know more, follow the
