Could you be more specific? Do you know what else the religion believes in?
Buddhism might fit, but so might Hinduism. There are probably others I don't know. |

Doesn't almost every religion believe in a difference between your meat-body and the part of you that thinks and feels? :-) At least the majority I'd imagine.

From nothing else, I'd say this is the philosophical idea of duality. It's embraced in, well, most modern religions, including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and others. Jainism is the one that seems to push for a separation, plus say that the spirit is the important part and the body only drags you down. |

I'll probably be looking into the jainism thing.
working on a character that as his body got replaced with more and more cyber he came more intune with his magic. of course this works against the rules of essence and magic but meh it's what I've wanted to do hehe. |
