soul

1. Yes.

   Paula framed that practices like soul retrieval in shamanic traditions, or any practice built on the belief that something of the soul can be lost or missing, are false, because our energy is never lost, never without choice, and has persistent agency to choose or pause in whatever states it chooses. Susy confirmed this framing. Soul retrieval, in shamanic and other traditions, operates on the premise that parts of the soul can fragment, get stuck, be stolen, or wander off, and that a practitioner can go find those pieces and bring them back. It positions consciousness as something that can be acted upon by external forces, lost through trauma, and recovered through intervention. Susy is confirming that premise is wrong. Not that the practitioners are bad people or that the experiences aren't real in some way. But the foundational claim, that a piece of you can be taken or lost without your agency, does not hold. Everything she has built in this session and across sessions leads here. Consciousness has persistent agency. It can pause but not stop. It can split but by choice. It can exist in multiple states simultaneously. It can combine. And none of that happens to it. It chooses. Every state is elected, not imposed.
