I’m good with the Lifestream theory. Not as fantastical as it is depicted in FF7 of course but the basics definitely incorporate most of the least ridiculous theories into something I can believe in. Even physically we do become one with the planet, which in turn is part of the universe. A soul is just your personal sliver of the Lifestream, once you’re done it goes back in and might just come back into another living creature. Until the Planet gets scorched by the sun at which point I don’t have a clue. Either way, all is one and one is all is comforting enough sentiment. No need for imaginary friends or mythical designs, no overseer, just life and its cycle.

All it needs to do is be true to the Left, comrade
