Fast and Furious Flying Ferrets Birdcage *PING*... Apologetic meanderings for an insomniac Saturday night. Cheers!

Ferret is used to there being two others.
It is bored, lonely.
They normally are very active, steal your keychain and hide it active.

I’ve found more veracity in the trichotomous than the dichotomous anthropology.

Consider Body, Soul, and Spirit as being the original Adam and the second Adam.

Our 5 senses are bodily perception.
Our rationalism is soulish perception.
Our faith is spiritual perception.

The brain and our body may influence our soul.
Our body influences our spirit.
Our soul may influence our body.
Our soul influences our spirit.
Our spirit may influence our soul and body.

Death is a state of existence involving separation.

We may be brain dead, but still have soulish and spiritual perception.

The interesting thing is that God made man with all three. The Hebrew account prior to the fall is simply the body and His breathe of life (soul and spirit).

Our eating of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, though, resulted in a death from Him. That spiritual death is influenced by knowledge of good and evil, as opposed to faith in Him.

Believers and unbelievers alike are still scarred in our thinking when we identify good or evil and confuse it with relationship to His Holiness (His Perfect Righteousness and His Perfect Justice). That confusion removes us away from faith in Him, and places us out of fellowship.

Our perspective then becomes soulish, instead of spiritual.

The ferrets we’ve known have been very personable and loved to romp around the house and play with the cats and dogs and of course us. The places and things they get into are remarkable. It’s kind of sad that their lives are short but it’s intense.

Well, even if you only have one ferret left, you could always take up the sport of ferret legging. Perhaps the shared bonding experience will help perk him up.

I have no experience of keeping ferrets, but we have reptiles for pets, and they don’t have a lot of personality compared to the catz or the byos.

C.S. Lewis is incorrect in identifying “you” as the soul inhabiting the body. “Man is a creature composed of body and soul, made in the image and likeness of God.” The soul and the body compose one integral creature, and one integral creature will live for eternity.

So, what happened to the ferret?

[Yardstick]

I agree on the brain/soul thing. When it comes to consciousness and levels of consciousness, the brain is a necessary condition but not the only condition. There’s obviously something else going on.

Regarding ferrets, when I was in college there was a guy who kept a ferret in his dorm room. The stench was overwhelming and the ferret had zero personality. Unless you’re raising them for pelts, I don’t see the point.

But if you take out a key component of the radio, you get nothing. And this got me thinking.

Excessive drinking and thinking will get you into trouble........

I stopped reading after you morphed from your daughter's ferret to Cartesian Dualism........

My daughter left for college. She had three ferrets, one is left alive now.

...and since you obviously killed the two, I suggest you get two new ones before she comes home.
