    I made it and I think it's very good. And people have told Me I'm much easier to understand than the other prominent soulists

    I think that soulism and other related concepts is like the concept of nihilism but with extra steps and such; nihilism affirms the belief that life has no meaning; soulism takes that just one step further by saying that if life has a meaning it would be an "unjust hierarchy" and that the soul is more of a noncoercive unit.

    A true anarchist knows that life is NOT really hierarchic, and that life has a meaning: love, beauty and freedom. The point is that life is a beautiful thing, and that we should all learn to appreciate all that made life is beautiful, such as sunsets and sunrises, the scenery, snow falling, the grass we touch everyday and all other stuff.

    And this is coming from a left-libertarian who finds anarchy to be pretty interesting. There should be a form of anarchism that's like "screw the state, let's just chill and appreciate life and such because life is beautiful".

    The meaning of life is to survive and have children. That's the definition of a lifeform, a survival and reproduction machine. But meaning has very little to do with what you should do. I think what people should do is make the world a happier and less miserable place.

    Is soulism NOT nihilism in any way, shape and form?

    Soulism is more like absurdism, but instead of applied to meaning, it's applied to everything. Reality is not objective, and that gives us the freedom to interpret our condition in a manner so radical it would make Sartre blush. We can change our beliefs to change our perception to change the world we live in. That's magic.
