Life Force

It has been said many times,on this site and others; you may believe anything you wish. It does not make you "stupid", just "spiritual". And that's not a bad thing, so long as you remember that is a "belief", and not "perhaps" the truth!

It might just be me but I think it would suck to have your life force in a Teddy bear. For one thing, Teddy bears have no muscles, or sensory receptors of any kind so you could not move or experience or, unless a link was established, get back to your own body. You would think in darkness and silence with no senses until you die. Also, if someone destroyed the bear while your life force was inside it, you'd die immediately, and Teddy bears are both fragile and defenseless.

Now now, teddy bears are only cute because their mouths are closed. You don't know what kind of sharp teeth could be behind that grin. =)

Animism is the belief that all natural things have a life force (all things in nature). Anything from a tree, rock, stream, creatures, plants etc. But man made objects, unless created with natural material would be exempt from this belief.

That's why many poppets are made with clay, cotton, wood, etc. So that the idea of a life force being apart of it is not difficult to relate to.

Once again whiteraven puts the sense into the nonsense.

*mutter something in Haitian* Perhaps next time we should both be less general. :D
