Hate to rub salt into old wounds, but along the lines of what Sei was not-so-subtly-asking for, perhaps a change of subject?

I am curious: Z stated his idea on where Reishi (and by extension, spiritual beings and the like came from), but along the "chicken and egg" line I'm curious: Void, what's your theory on where Spiritual Beings first, well, came from? You cite Izanami and Izanagi a lot but never really explain where they themselves came from. I'm not too brushed up on ancient Shintou mythology, perhaps you could expound a bit.

As to why I personally prefer the Soul Society as the only "heaven" sort of view, well, perhaps Occam's Razor. I like to be simple when simplicity is possible, for the sake of simplicity. That being said, you can still incorporate a LOT of different elements with this theory, meaning from different cultures, if you work at it. And no it doesn't have to be Quetzacoatl or a Latin-speaking dog (sorry Sommy), since yeah: those kind of seem kind out of place imo. But then you have an 80's Michael Jackson styled B-bopper who invented the first Zanpakutou so... WHO KNOWS!?!?!? And Nazi Quincy with NECKTIES some 1,500 years ago. >____< At any rate I wouldn't take Kubo TOO seriously when it comes to facts/statistics/anything that isn't an action panel. (jk, jk...)
