soul murder
[aka Seelenmord] A soul murder is the result of a nerve connection misused by the person initially subjected to it. The hyperbolic term does not describe the actual killing of a soul but rather the abduction or manipulation of a soul for the purpose of achieving some kind of advantage over it. These advantages typically include immortality or the appropriation of someone else's mental powers. Daniel Paul Schreber suspects Dr. Paul Flechsig or his ancestors of having committed a soul murder. |
