nerves
[aka Nerven] The human soul is constituted of the nerves inside the body. The nerves consist of threadlike filaments of a very fine nature which are sensitive to external stimulation. Two kinds of nerves exist in a human being. The one kind of nerves is capable of reasoning while the other is needed for the perception of pleasure and displeasure. The memories of a person remain inside the nerves even after death. Therefore, death is more a loss of consciousness than a final end to one's existence. In the instant of death, the nerves are extracted by god and undergo a purification and selection procedure. Nerves are also the substance of which god is made of. When parts of god's nerves are emitted to earth, they are known as rays. Rays can transform into any worldly entity. When in a state of excitement, nerves create a strong local center of gravity which is a potential danger to god. |
