Soul Reterival and Loss

I've been thinking on that soul fragmenting and thought I'd look it up again.

From  Divinity for life found this:

why Soul Fragmentation or Soul loss happens.

Some of the symptoms of soul fragmentation are:

• Feel fragmented in some way or that an essential part of themselves is missing.

• A gap in memory. Having no memory of your life from a young age through through teenage years.

• A person may recall that there was a trauma but can’t remember the surrounding details.

• Chronic depression (Often the fragmentation of a person’s essential being keeps him or her from being able to create a path of joy).

• Life is spent exploring ways, often abusive ways, to get to feelings and experiences that create a sense of purpose, however false.

• Physical illness can also be a symptom of soul loss. Often when we give away our power we become ill. Because the universe cannot stand a void, if we are missing pieces of ourselves, an illness might fill in that place.

• Instead of being able to follow the soul’s journey, such a person often feels depressed and unfulfilled.

In some way, most of us experience some degree of soul loss. Some people have been more deeply traumatized by life; they may seem quite “dispirited.” Life has been kinder to others; they may not have needed to protect themselves so completely. Regardless of the degree of trauma, however, most people yearn for a fuller sense of vitality and connectedness to life.

From Life As A Human I found these:

We may lose significant aspects of our nature, like the ability to sense when we are overextended, or whether it is safe to act on our instincts, or the understanding of how to navigate difficult relationship dynamics.

Sometimes Soul Loss occurs when there is an early instinctive knowledge that something in life is “just too much to bear”, like being born into a situation where there is a lack of nurture. Soul Loss both before and at the time of birth is also possible depending on the circumstances of the pregnancy, and because of the attitudes and procedures surrounding the birth.

Soul Loss can occur during emotional or physical trauma, such as an accident, abusive situation, sudden shock to the system, surgery, disaster, divorce, psychic attack, or death of a loved one. Not all trauma leads to Soul Loss, and sometimes the Soul Fragments will return on their own, but often this is not the case.

Soul Loss can weaken our system and leave us more vulnerable to illness and psychic attack (including the Spiritual Intrusions or thought forms, which we ‘install’ in ourselves through negative self projections).

Compensatory mechanisms and habits may be developed to make up for this loss of essential energy. These mechanisms can often cause distress, or lead to further loss. Addiction may be one way of trying to fill the void left by Soul Loss or Power Loss.

On the other side of there not being any soul fragmenting, I found on The Big Picture Questions a blog that he had a talk with Needler (?) this was some of it:

And so there cannot be “soul fragmentation” as such or “soul loss.”

But in terms of soul fragmentation, the only thing I can think of that would classify as being a fragmented soul is when we have shards being created. So it’s not actually a fragmentation, but it’s a designed (by ourselves) function of individualizing a smaller part of our sentience, and assigning it to another form to experience a parallel condition — not parallel in terms of event space or a parallel universe or parallel experience — but additional experience to help with understanding of different things concurrently. So that’s what I would classify as being soul fragmentation.

But in terms of a part of a soul, or some part of the soul being disassociated from the human form as a result of any of these different experiences of trauma, I would say that’s not the case. I would say basically what happens at times is that the ego chooses not to experience that experience again. It classifies it as being traumatic and decides to forget it. And the only potential way for getting that back would be through some form of healing.

Still, it appears even in this that it's similar with Soul Loss.

The best list I found is from LonerWolf that gives 21 signs you're experiencing Soul Loss:

• Memories and parts of your life have been blocked out.
• You experience strong periods of depression.
• Parts within yourself feel missing or broken.
• You experience a general numbness to life.
• Constant feelings of fear or anxiety plague you.
• You go through long periods of insomnia.
• You feel lost or incomplete.
• You feel like a ‘different person’ after a shocking or traumatic life event.
• You feel stuck or incapable of overcoming a certain issue in your life.
• You feel disappointed with life.
• You feel as though there are multiple “selves” within you.
• You try to escape by turning to alcohol, drugs, sex, television, or excessive busyness.
• You feel unworthy of being loved.
• You are experiencing a dark night of the soul.
• You want to find your purpose and meaning in life.
• You feel like your daily life is meaningless and task-driven.
• You avoid feeling vulnerable and keep others at a distance.
• You long for wholeness and a sense of belonging.
• You sometimes feel that you’re not in control of yourself.
• You constantly feel mentally or physically fatigued for no medical reason.
• You thirst for authenticity and complete acceptance of yourself.

That list I can really relate to.
