The anima is an immaterial entity.
The concept of anima comes from the Latin anĭma , in turn derived from the Greek ánemos (which can be translated as “breath” ). The most common use of the term is as a synonym for soul .
It is usually considered that the anima or soul is the beginning of life . Although the definition of anima varies according to culture and religion , at a general level it can be said that it is an abstract or spiritual entity that is an inherent part of a person .
The anima in living beings
In ancient times , the anima was considered to be that which gave movement and life to beings . People, animals, plants and stars, in this sense, had souls.
Over time, multiple ways of understanding the notion of anima emerged. It is often stated that the anima is the essence of a human being , that which internally distinguishes each individual and that allows us to differentiate our species from the rest beyond biology.
It is common to hold that human beings have emotions , feelings and consciousness thanks to the anima. Someone without an anima, in this framework, would be a being lacking said virtues or qualities.
beyond life
There are religions that express that the soul is immortal . In other words: when an individual dies, his body stops functioning, but his soul survives.
The anima, then, would make eternal life possible. It would not be an earthly or corporeal existence, but rather a non-material persistence on another plane .
The soul under the gaze of science
Many times, from science , the existence of the anima or soul has been studied. It is often believed that the anima is linked to mysteries that have to do with the state of consciousness, imagination and memory, among other issues.
One theory places the anima in the brain cells . Specifically, it places it in microtubules that contain indestructible quantum information. This information, when the person dies, dissipates, although it does not disappear.
One theory holds that the anima is located in the brain cells.
Soul in pain
The figure of the soul or soul in pain is common in different areas. It appears in literature , popular legends and religion, to mention a few cases.
A soul in pain is called a soul that, after the death of an individual, wanders aimlessly because it cannot find the way to Heaven. According to this belief, the soul in question remains in the earthly world and has no awareness of death .
La Llorona is an example of a soul in pain. This legend maintains that a woman killed her children by drowning them and then repented, so her soul never stops traveling through cities and towns looking for them while she mourns.
Anima in firearms
In a firearm , the bore is the internal space of its barrel . Said gap may have grooves or lack grooves.
The first firearms featured smoothbore (without rifling). That is why the projectiles, when fired, did not make large turns and traced unstable trajectories.
Rifled weapons, on the other hand, provide the projectiles with a rotation movement along the barrel. This particularity improves aerodynamic stability and allows for greater precision .
