So a friend of mine and I have been talking about the soul, spirit and what that means. I’ve been trying to lead her into her own thoughts rather than influence her answers with my opinions. This worked really and brought up a theory/thought I had not heard of before… the Peter Pan theory ( at least that’s what I’m calling it). The PPT is the idea that when Peter Pan loses his shadow and is searching for it it is really his soul/spirit that he is trying to reconnect with. Normally said entity would be attached at his foot and always with him. The idea is that when it became disconnected it was upsetting for him because it was his soul and not just a shadow.
I like this idea, think it has some good merits and is an interesting take on something that I had never thought of before.
