I must say that Dragon Knights is not mine, nor any of the characters. Anything I write is pure supposition based on obsessive reading up to book twenty-one.
Do you have a body? Do you have something tangible to assure you that you're real—that you exist?
I don't. So that begs the questions…
Am I real? Is what I feel real…or is it an illusion?
Is a body so important? What is a body? I know that it is a thing of bones and muscle, flesh and blood—so much blood.
But they keep on telling me that it isn't what's important—that what is important is the spirit.
So, what is a spirit? While what a body is can be readily shown, no one has ever seen a spirit, and no one has ever touched a soul.
So is reality only that which is tangible? But that does not encompass religion, people who believe on such little things as faith.
But, once again I am lost. I have no center, because there is no me to center. And so I chase myself in circles…philosophy is not my strong suite.
I'm losing to myself, but there is no self to lose to.
But to say I sense nothing is a lie—I can see her light clearly. I could see Illuser's light clearly. So I guess a body does not define existence. And a body does not define a spirit, a soul.
I think I can hang onto that for a little while. I think I can try for a little while.
