Your soul actively changes its physical state based on how you live every single day. These states exist on a wide, continuous spectrum with varying ranges and degrees:
The Balanced Soul
- The Condition
You keep your water droplet fluid, open, and clear within The Flow Zone.
- The Outcome
Upon death, your droplet seamlessly returns to the river while maintaining its distinct energetic signature. You undergo standard reincarnation, returning to a new body with a higher baseline of subconscious maturity.
The Evaporated Soul
- The Condition
You live on autopilot and let your choices scatter your energy. Your droplet boundaries break down and turn into a formless vapor.
- The Outcome
Upon death, this scattered energy naturally settles into simpler life forms, like plants or animals, to slowly rebuild baseline instincts.
The Frozen Soul
- The Condition
You harden your soul with cruelty, absolute greed, or rigid malice. Your water droplet turns solid into ice.
- The Outcome
Because ice cannot flow through the narrow gates of rebirth, your soul is diverted into the lower rehabilitative tiers of the Cradle to be melted or broken down before varying degrees of reincarnation occur.
