Soulism

Soulism, formerly known as Ego-Communalism, is an off-the-compass  Libertarian-left ideology that believes that an individual should be able to do anything they desire, resulting in everyone sharing all their property (both private and personal) with everybody else because it is in everybody's best interest to share.

Furthermore, Soulism believes that not only should the hierarchy of the state, capitalism, or traditions be abolished but also hierarchy such as gravity or inertia. Also, the fact that human beings can't live without eating, or sleeping for a purpose other than pleasure is oppressive. Souls believe this to be possible by spiritual enlightenment or advanced technology.

Soulism believes that the individual is everything and his's ego is the soul, and its desires for laziness, leisure, drugs, and so on have to be fulfilled in order for a truly sane society to be achieved and this can only happen through anarchy.

Soulists wants to reject the physical body and its limits by leaving it and becoming an energetic soul or by going into cyberspace where an individual can do anything they want and live in peace.

They often use psychedelic plants/fungi like ayahuasca or psilocybin.

Beliefs
Soulists are mostly pantheist and panpsychists, simultaneously believing that reality came from consciousness, and human minds are connected, that to love other minds is self-esteem, that we are The Universe but also that there is a spiritual/energetic reality other than physical universe. If minds do not share Soulist values, they can still be loved, but they must be enlightened so they can be loved *better*.

All animal lifeforms, some fungi, most plants and all artificial intelligence processes must be provolved to having the capacity to choose further provolution (so it is ethically consensual) and then permitted to ascend to better forms of consciousness.

Soulists only see ascension (the development of a Sapient Transhuman into a Transsapient Posthuman) as only appropriate up to the point of Sapience, and that for further development, a mind must undergo ascension where the ego does not port to the new architecture. In this manner the Soulist Society gains more Novelty and therefore Self-Esteem and Innovation.

Also, given that they (soulists) believe in the transcendence and eternity of consciousness, it is assumed that consciousness (or rather subjective awareness) can be moved from one universe to another. That practice is known also by name "Reality Shifting". And given the fact that the number of universes is infinite (at least hypothetical), and the fact that with the help of shifting it will be possible to be transported to the world of a personal utopia (temporarily or permanently), the entire value of the material and non-material benefits of the current universe (CR in their jargon) tends to zero, that is becomes almost meaningless to them. This is the one of main reasons for their apathy towards everything, even to death and various diseases - shifting nullifies them too, by transfering awareness into their younger bodies in parallel universe.

[[File:Soul.png]] Classical Soulism
Does nothing except being on drugs all the time and enjoying life. Often lives in his lucid dreams (mostly doing orgies with fictional characters from various media, visiting fictional worlds for curiousity or just enjoying vacation on various theoretical space megastructures like Ring-Worlds/Bishop Rings/O'Neil Cylinders...), while downshifting in reality, or even sleeping all time in anabiosis pod with autonomous energy, liquid food and anti-aging drugs supply. If he is threatened by someone, he simply shifts his mind to a safer dimension without a threat source.

[[File:Transsoul.png]] Scientific soulism
Scientific soulists wants to liberate from laws of nature and physics by advanced technology (transhumanism, abolishing need of eating or sleeping by technology, genetic modifications that could for example immunize humans for many illnesses, going into cyberspace and becoming digital beings, and so on). They also are interested in stuff like wormholes, time travels, teleportation, mind uploading, quantum physics, additional dimensions and pocket universes.

[[File:Esosoul.png]] Esoteric Soulism
Esoteric soulists wants to liberate from boring reality by spiritual ways like spiritual enlightenment or occultist practices, or even leaving body and becoming mental/energetic soul. It can be considered as ideology of many shamans.

[[File:Serioussoulism.png]] Serious Soulism
Serious Soulism is a version of Soulism based on posts from the reddit community r/serioussoulism, which is a community for serious, meme-free discussion of Soulist ideology. According to the posts, one of the ways to abolish the laws of the universe would be through transhumanism and posthumanism and supporting the 2045 initiative, claiming that it would not be a realistic and non-absurd way to achieve soulism, as well as being neutral towards determinism. of the universe, but still supporting the exploration of the Milky Way.

They also support a new kind of energy through self-copying robots, opposition to things said to benefit capitalism, anti-binarism, rise in philosophy, science and engineering, communitarianism, opposition to communist authoritarianism, opposition to polcompball, extraphisism, divineism, total freedom, influence of post-left authors (Max Stiner, Deleuze, Guattari, among others), a universe like a sandbox game and total power to individuals.

Just a memes-related subreddit with surreal jokes.

Personality and Behaviour
Perpetually stoned off his balls. If not stoned, then mostly sticking with VR gadgets. Wishes to rid himself of a physical form.

Often sleeps and lucid dreams about utopian places and favorite fictional universes, while listening to psytrance.

Likes talking with aliens in the astral plane (and sometimes get new knowledge and technologies from them).

Escapes from all problems, responsibilities, and threats by simply "Shifting" his consciousness to a safer universe.

Very apathetic, and hates anything related to dynamic things like working, careerism, ambitions, workaholism, material hedonism (because they cost money), and "rat race economics".

 * [[File:Archai.png]] Post-Humanism - While I’m doing my peaceful meditations, tantric orgies, and lucid dreams, robots protect me from violent reactionary thugs.

 * [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism - I understand your enthusiasm for a better future, but your narrow-minded material hedonism holds you back spiritually and burns all your wealth into nothing.

 * [[File:6ball.png]] Alien bros/foes - I often contact them in the astral plane. Someone of [[File:Alien.png]] them are really friendly and want to share wisdom and knowledge through telepathy ( that's why I have better technologies than the rest of the other balls combined ), but others are either [[File:Reptilians.png]] hostile scumbags who just love to scare me or [[File:Pleiadean.png]] arrogant pricks that ignore me.

 * [[File:Esosoc.png]] Esoteric Socialism - Fake leftists, fake humans (I see their demonic nature with my spiritual third eye), and fake anti-capitalists that like money and banks.
 * [[File:Cultism.png]] Cultism - Pseudo-spiritual power-hungry and money-loving prick that gives spirituality a bad name.
 * [[File:Captrans.png]] Capitalist Transhumanism - You can't hide your technologies blueprints because I have the ability to spy through remote viewing! But actually I don't need your low-tech products, because aliens through astral give me a lot nicer blueprints of nano-factories.
 * [[File:react.png]] Reactionaryism - How the hell is your civilization supposed to be stable and fundamental when it's literally only lived 1% of human history? Like, are you aware that the other 99% was just people chilling in the stone age not having to worry about all this 'family values' garbage? You know nothing about history, and your religions are dogmatic unspiritual garbage made for the elites to control the masses.

 * [[File:Neolud.png]] Neoluddism - Dude, I'm kind of at a loss for understanding what you can do for yourself just by opposing technology. Yes, all jobs suck, but destroying machinery and screwing others is not a solution!
 * [[File:Ochlo.png]] Ochlocracy - Collectivist morons that just give people the impression that anarchism equals violence.
 * [[File:Statlib.png]] State Liberalism - Dude, bigotry sucks yeah, but violently obsessing over who is and isn't a minority so much is just the definition of fighting fire with fire, and a lot of what you're doing really makes me wonder if you actually care about minorities. Also why are you pointing a gun at me?
 * [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] Right-Wing Populism - Yes, reptilians exist. Yes, they control humanity, but honestly, how is your ideal world really any better?
 * [[File:Indust.png]] Industrialism - Nah, f*ck all jobs. If I want something, I'll just shift my mind to someplace else.

 * [[File:Reptilians.png]] Illuminatism - You are cold-blooded aliens in a human disguise (just spied through astral remote viewing). But you are too powerful for overthrow, so I'll just wait for your hierarchical capitalist system to fall from its own weight. Wait. Why someone at midnight knocks on my door? And what the hell do I see black helicopters?! Are they knowing something about... *kidnapped*
 * [[File:Thanto.png]] Death - You can kill others, but you NEVER catch me! *Concentrates his mind* Time to permanently shift my awareness into my younger self in ten, nine, eight...
