I think you're suffering from the same thing as all other spiritual people: you want something to have more meaning than it does, so in your mind it manifests itself that way.

Well now, I guess you felt the need to get that off your chest.

Everything goes quiet, as if I'm in another demention. Not totally, but I hope you get my extended metaphor. For most of us, you can put a
6k Rolex next to a 20K VC or PP (with thier polished movements et al) and the Rollie sings to us. To the non WIS, nothing stands out as much as a Rolex: it's as though you had the Holy Grail.

I believe that your Rolex develops it's 'kami' over time with the wearer...giving it a meaning and purpose from owner....or it's just a watch!

Some have "souls", others have lug-holes. Who cares?

No.

Bearing in mind that your Rolex is a tiny tiny bit heavier when fully wound why not call that stored energy/mass a soul.

I've heard worse claptrap said on the subject.
