Night Sky

Nothing about what I believe puts me at odds with the self evident fact that one's character is coterminous with one's fate. Two words for the same thing, it's a matter of semantics. 

Sure, I have some weird, out there conceptions and beliefs, they do a lot to keep me moving. Those with spirit, work the longest. But it's not that I don't feel the same pain and fear everyone else does. Only that I relate to it differently. And MLP has certainly done much to help with that...it is quite able to justify its existence alongside all the old Scripturs...

I have learned to accept people's beliefs though, even though I'm an agnostic, over the years I became more accepting of people with spiritual beliefs because faith is a powerful thing in its own right, it does not prove spirits or afterlives exist, but what it does do for some people, is gives them strength to keep going, as you said. It's kind of like in a battle, where some people would rather believe they can win a fight, than take the defeatist attitude and give up before the fight began. Doubt can sometimes do harm, sometimes bravery requires people to believe in their own potential.

If we were in this MLP FIM fan fiction universe I mentioned which I had been working on, instead of the real world, then I think it's this accepting of believing in our own potential that could motivate Luna to allowing souls to pass into her domain. To be honest I think she may see lack of belief in our own potential as a form of weakness, she made an effort to self improve, others can do the same. If I went into the Bardo in that fantasy world scenario, with a defeatist attitude where I did not believe I could do anything to help Equestria, she may deny entry. In that fantasy world scenario, that is one plausible reason I can think of where a no answer would happen, because that is a character flaw Zephyr Breeze had in Hasbro official fiction.
