Awesome!
The Old Albic views on that matter are still very sketchy, and I don't
know the words yet. Every living being has a soul (the "Husks" are
not truly alive, but subsist on stolen life-force, hence their
vampire-like craving for human flesh and blood, and their utter
inability to create), and even inanimate objects have some kind of
form-giving entity, gestalt, or, in Sheldrakeian modern terminology,
morphic field.
Greetings,
Jörg.
