So the Great Guardian fragmented/seeded only a fraction of his soul, and the rest continues functioning as an independent entity ? That's what I meant about remaining his own person, since it would probably be hard if he seeded the entirety of his Endless Soul into sentient beings rather than just a fraction (purely symbiotic existence with no separate self to speak of anymore). After all, just because his soul is endless doesn't mean it can't be countained into a finite number of beings (child's play for an entity of such caliber).

Mindshifting isn't the only reason Lawrence's emotions remains intact over the eons, it's also in large part because of his relationship with Selforge citizens (and his time in the Soul Haven), both through their daily life together and SCE soul-deep connection, with them anchoring his humanity while he frees them of their's downsides, resulting in a shared "ascended humanity" for both.

From what I understand, the problem of Dr Manhattan is was simply a disconnection, because for some reason he could neither transcend humans in beings like himself nor adjust his own perception/experience to human level (which is surprising considering his powers, probably just the Status Quo Is God / Rule of Drama at play). Lawrence can and does both, so all is well ^ ^

The First Soul does seem in an uncomfortable situation, as while it is true that it and other souls are equally insignificant before the Great Guardian, they are also radically unequal in everything else. So equal in theory and unequal in practice, with practice outweighing theory like it almost always does. Why is the First Soul so superior again, by the way ? Because of its direct connection to the Ether that allows it to freely channel nigh-infinite raw power ?

So the First Soul was pre-programmed to automatically access the Ether ? How did it go from zero mind/soul to functional entity ? Did it download its self-awareness and personality from the Ether alongside its first power set ?
