examined soul
[aka Gepruefte Seele] As an ironic expression from the basic language, the term examined soul is applied to souls which have not yet entered the process of purification. Examined souls which enter the purification process are declared devils. After completing the purification, a soul will become blessed and form an element of the front courts of heaven. Parts of Flechsig's nerves ascended to the realm of god as an examined soul, initiating the soul murder. |
