Duality : 1 : 10


The prior post served as catalyst for the brainstorming of this brief essay:

One might be inclined to believe that it is the union of body and spirit that is the formula in creating a unique identity and that this perceived "uniqueness" cannot exist in absence of one or the other.

Furthermore would be posited that 'spirit' itself is collectively generic and that it is in fact the uniqueness of the physical vessel that would be primary factor in emergence of a specific personality or 'soul'.

However, consciousness does remain quite obscure though and somewhat of a mystery in the context of these or any other hypotheticals; especially with regard to detachment or transcension of its physical counterpart.

I have most vividly observed the separation of the two on a few occasions, although as of late I am not so quick in jumping to conclusions as to what exactly that means.

And of course on the other hand, there are those that would disregard the concept of spirit/soul altogether.

Part of where this is going in the context of eternal recurrence or just simply re-emergence in general is that the recipe for re-emergence of any given specific identity would also require an exact duplicate re-emergence of the vessel it once occupied.

So, emerging identities would be virtually infinite but not entirely as eternity IS without beginning or end, therefore duplicates would appear inevitable, but it's not likely to remember anything from a prior existence although however the impossibility of it there may be vague memories that appear 'out of time' or traces of deja vu here and there which could be something or nothing.

Much weight is given here with regards to the physical vessel in lieu of the incorporeal, but there is obviously an intangible aspect at work here as well although the entire gamut of such a thing can only be pondered.
