>that huge pasta of random Guenon quotes that is not even relevent to the point I was making

My only point was that the subtle body, like all of manifestation, is eventually subjected to cyclic dissolution at the end of and resetting of the cycle. The only exception is Atma, which is beyond manifestation and non-manifestation; and is indeed the only thing which may properly be classified as real.

>So yes, you're right the subtle body is "contingent"

Great, so you admitted that I was correct that the concept of the 'Aryan soul' having an absolute truth or reality is false. If only you could have admitted as much at the beginning and spared us all the arguing about the semantics of something you apprently knew was not true all along! Next time don't shit up the thread by insisting on making half a dozen large posts defending ideas that you already know to be false in an absolute sense; or just simply admit that they are not absolute at the beginning so there is no confusion.

Look at the title.

What is the purpose of writing fiction, in your opinion? What is it useful for? Why does it exist?

My take is that writing communicates a subjective character of existence which allows one to broaden their perceptions. The purpose of writing is to communicate the internal world that composes much of what a personality is. Who doesn't wish to construct a more coherent, robust, and ultimately compelling personality?

This leads me to my follow up question: what would communicating your internal world mean to you?
