“If the self is a telescoping extension that originates at the ordinal scale of timespace itself, and descends through galaxies, stars, and worlds… into beings… then the aspect of this transcendental extension that actually bridges these orders is the soul… or, in common mythos ‘the holy guardian angel’. It is like an intelligent strand, which is comprised neither of matter nor energy. It is transentient. And just as your heart is the core of your body, this ‘sacred filament’, is the root of your heart, and your mind.”
