I don't have a big problem with the notion of a 'soul' in humans or even higher animals as long as one isn't insistent upon a particular narrative or paradigm surrounding it (e.g. an immortal soul or hell-bound soul) and just uses it to indicate the inadequacy of modern-day science to compass human consciousness, feelings, etc.. when describing humans as mere sacks of atoms subject to the laws of physics. One can use terms like 'psyche' or 'mind', but these terms are still scientifically non-rigorous, of necessity (although they perhaps sound a bit more professional). As far as a nation, or folk, or race, having a 'soul', yeah, that is maybe stretching things, but I think people get the metaphor so I'm not too worried about it. You're right, though, that when it comes to capital-G God, we need to be careful of the trouble-makers who will get excited and want to insist we pay homage or do the special dance, and I don't want to invite trouble, so yeah, it's probably wise to avoid that term.

"Creator", "Satan", "angel", "demon/devil"; these are other highly charged terms belonging to the Abrahamic religions that should probably be avoided when discussing Aryanism.
Note, however, I think we can be much laxer about folks wanting to think about Aryanism in terms of traditional pagan gods or spirits, since these folks generally aren't insane about it like the practitioners of the Abrahamic religions are; they are simply using their particular expression of Aryanism as a form of ethnic identity. But if a neo-pagan does start becoming superstitious or taking things too far, like New Age folks were wont to do in their day, they should be regarded with suspicion/skepticism just like one would regard a Christian.

You lost your dignity with those early posts, George.

Creator is fine for the impersonal Cosmos as a unified Whole being Divine. It co-evolves towards a personal Godhood at the Omega Point of Cosmic- Evolution. Your prior posts are the reasons that you should be regarded with suspicion/skepticism just like any hard atheist or fundamentalist Christian or any such Semitism whatsoever. |

Only problem is it sounds a bit like "the Force": Use the Race-Soul, Luke! May the Race-Soul be with you! Still it's better than "Creator" or "God", since it explicitly incorporates race in the title.

Also, no need to call it the Aryan race, just call it "the Race" (use definite article and always capitalize it).

Aryans perpetuate, uphold, advance, and evolve the Race-Soul, as well as being guided by it.
Instead of "God bless you," an Aryan might say something like "The Race-Soul guide you." (But not "The Race-Soul be with you," since it sounds like a Star Wars rip-off. Also don't say "The Race-Soul bless/preserve you," since that sounds too much like a Judeo-Christian knock-off.) Edit: Actually I don't want to put any a priori restrictions on the language; let an Aryan use the most appropriate words for their particular situation.
