The Soul is a Martyr: Meditations on The Soul, Part 5

The Akashic records posit that there is a cosmic library of sorts that contains all thoughts, emotions, desires, and everything else in existence. Certain individuals claim to be able to access this divine archive through meditative practices. Whilst I am not convinced of this, I believe this infinite feedback loop of observation could technically hold something akin to an ethereal cosmic library of collapsed wavelengths of interchanging matter and energy. As the previous entry implied, sensations are not just reactions to the observation of an ultimate observer; they are also essentially data points in a divine spreadsheet of sorts. This implies that maybe schizophrenia is a misfire of sorts? A corrupted data point where observation was temporarily lost? What is temporary for a top-down ultimate antagonist may be a lifetime for us. However, this is merely artistry taking over metaphysics, I shall resume catering to my paradigm more structurally. If the observed eventually frankensteins into something that can observe back, then the martyr of the soul, or God, is tragic and beautiful, fitting with human constructs of aesthetics. It essentially succumbs to an entropy that exceeds absolutism, it would be a divine existentialism. An entropy closing loop where the agent of God, the souls, own demise was what it had created (be it intentionally or not). So, the golem attacks the master in a sense! This then leads us to another point of contention, a meta-chronology, a reality where entropy exceeds what we would consider infinite. If the absolute can be transgressed, then what lies above it? A cosmic recursion? Seems most likely that this finality that lingers over our ultimate observer’s head would fit into the idea of a recursion. So, what would this recursion be? An eternally begetting entity that creates universes cursed with autosarcography? I find that a chain of command becomes relevant again, hierarchies plague philosophy, and scientific thought. I do not think there is a hierarchy here, I think that if our ultimate observer is the soul, and its creation causes it to transcend, then it must go back to the being it came from. If this is so, then our Akashic records are added to an archive that would make the Library of Alexandria blush. As previously mentioned, again we find Baudrillard becoming useful, a simulacra to end all simulacras! Are we just a hologram? Maybe the interoception of a being so rife with information that we should stay as hairless apes endowed with a morsel of reacted consciousness. That is defeatist in my opinion! I find myself bringing up Christian theology briefly, the emptying of Yaweh to create a human, the martyrdom of Christ, the trinity, all essentially being the same absolute. As a human with pattern recognition, it is hard not to notice my dipping of the toes in Christianity, Gnosticism, and Panpsychism. It is up to the reader to take this as proof of a religion, a merely interesting thought, something original entirely, or utter nonsense. In either case, I find the martyrdom of the soul necessary, maybe not for our sins, or the sins of a cosmos, but for its recognition of the reflection that gazes back at it. What happens next, perhaps that is all there is, or perhaps it feeds into the body of something endlessly experimenting and building an infinite archive of all existence is and could be.
