Orthodox theology rejects the idea of Christ as God "hiding out" in a human body because it makes the scene at Lazarus's tomb and his prayer at Gethsemane and his "My God, my God" statement just theater. And yet you have that foreshadowing of Horn's childhood with the puppet...and that's just the opposite. I think it is a mistake to think that just because Wolfe writes novels investigating identity that he has this idea in his mind of how it works.

But by saying that the Rajan is Silk and is Horn even though their spirits aren't there seems to imply you have a very fixed model in your mind, in which people are their memories.
