(urth) Fwd: Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

> Well, this is what I thought was happening:
> - if Horn dies at the pit, it's because his body is broken, not his spirit; if his spirit leaves it's because the body is no longer able to sustain one
> - with Silk it's the opposite: there's no big problem with the body, but the spirit is broken

“He dies because you shot him through the heart. Or because he suffered 
some disease or was kicked by a horse, as a wise friend once suggested 
to me. But you bring up an important point—that the spirit is not life, 
nor is life the spirit. And another, that the two together are one. A 
husband is not his wife, no more than a wife is her husband; but the two 
in combination are one. ”

> I see you claim that Silk's body wasn't actually all that well and died/would die as well, not for lack of spirit but for self-harm. I think that may work, but it's just not the reading I had.

Do you remember those scratches on his wrists?

> But if all that's left of Silk are memories, then all the abilities and personality traits we observe in the Rajan and have speculated are Related to Typhon's should actually be the Neighbour's.

What is Pas but Typhon's memories. But I heard Wolfe give a Q&A when 
someone started to make a point saying, "But Typhon was, in a way, on 
the Whorl as Pas..." and Wolfe shot back "No! Typhon WAS on the Whorl as 
Pas."

But Wolfe does not believe that ALL we are is memories and thoughts.
