The original buddhist parable which denied that the presence of karma required souls spoke of it as being like a flame transmitted from candle to candle. The Teshnans with their life-flame have simply controlled the transmigration of the flames.
Secondly what's wrong with social control over transmigration? If I take a life-flame from a funeral pyre and put it in the body of another person, why must this be impossible?

It's been present in the first writing I made about Teshnos.
