This is my is thoughts on the soul jams and does have spoilers for Beast-Yeast and its lore, you have been warned

We’re starting with the soul jam of Knowledge because we’re introduced to Shadow Milk first.

The original soul jam, the soul jam of Knowledge is split into Truth and Deceit

The the main shape of them are flipped version of each other, mostly likely showing that they are opposites. The soul jam of Deceit has a slit in it, making it look like an eye. This is mostly likely because of Shadow Milk’s view on knowledge. It seems like he saw the cookies on earthbread didn’t know of their original purpose, and were deceived. This might have lead him to believing that most knowledge is actually deceit, and thus becoming the beast of deceit. But how does deceit and truth relate to knowledge? They’re both a form of knowledge. Plenty of things we see as common knowledge is lies, like bears sleeping all winter.

Next is the soul jam of Happiness. It spilt into Passion and Sloth

Once again, they’re flipped versions of each other. Now, how do passion and sloth relate to happiness? They both are a way to get happiness. You can be passionate about something and that can make you happy, or you can lazy around and have other people do stuff for you and that can bring happiness.

Next is the soul jam of Volition. It split into Resolution and Apathy

Being completely symmetrical, they are basically the same, but the soul jam of Apathy is more rhombus shaped and a pale yellow. Volition is defined as one’s will and resolution means a firm decision to do or not to do something, and that definitely uses will. But how does apathy fit into volition? Apathy is the state of indifference. This seems very opposite to will and that may be the intent. Once you’ve used your will so often, it’s easy to get burnt out and become apathetic.

Next is the soul jam of Change. It splits into Abundance and Destruction.

Like before, flipped versions of each other. Change and destruction can be related easily, destruction causes change. But abundance can also causes change, an abundance of money, food, or people. Like Shadow Milk, I have a theory on why Burning Spice turned to destruction. After years of overseeing change, it’s easy to focus on destruction causing change, and barely see abundance.

Finally, the soul jam of Solitary. It spilt into Freedom and Silence.

Again, flipped version of each other. First, the definition of solidarity is needed. Solidarity means mutual support within a group. Freedom fits this well. Often, in order to be free, you need support. But how does silence fit? Most likely, Silent Salt saw how solidarity ended horribly and turned to silence, as when you are silent, you cannot openly show solidarity.

These are just my thoughts and theories so other opinions are welcome!
