Pneuma is the concept behind objects having souls. It is the spark or seed of life. It is a factor that lives in different forms of matter that make them continue to be the same. As pine trees can only grow more pine trees and humans can only birth more humans, the pneuma stays the same. Effectively it is DNA. Pneuma is divided into three different parts.
- Cohesive Pneuma which holds things together
- Vital Pneuma which animates said thing
- Rational Pneuma which gives things the ability to think
All of these pieces work together in the creation of matter and life as we know it.
