"Shall we believe that the soul, which is invisible, and which goes hence to a place that is like herself, glorious, and pure, and invisible, to Hades, which is rightly called the unseen world to dwell with the good and wise God (whither, if it be the will of God, my soul too must shortly go) - shall we believe that the soul, whose nature is so glorious, and pure, and invisible, is blown away by the winds and perishes as soon as she leaves the body, as the world says?
Socrates 469-399 BCE - The Phaedo

Let me begin by addressing the trinity.  Not everyone believes in the triune nature of the universe so for argument sake I've included this little chart to establish a few correlations.  This is in no way intended to diminish the significances of any of these relationship, just provide structure.

Now consider this.  According to the bible God spoke the Universe into being, creating you like It - meaning you are creative too.  (I would like to get into a discussion about Mary and the Word becoming flesh, but that's another discussion.)

So lets move on to briefly explain the nature of mind, body, and soul:

Mind - I had this professor who spent an entire week discussing the regions and functions of the brain.  He finally concluded, with great pride, that the brain acts as central control for all bodily functions.  No where in the brain is there a place that thinks.  Mind, he said, was not in the body, but rather the body was in mind.  Like God, mind is not localizable but it is however individualized in and as each of us.  This too is another discussion that could take some time and space.  Let me include here some other key words that will tie this together neatly later:  Cause, conscious, self-conscious or aware, idea, seed, Spirit.

Body -  Now if mind can be said to be the cause the body would be the effect.  Here we are speaking of body, anything physical or tangible.  Using the definition for matter - it has weight and takes up space.  I have often heard and been guilty of demeaning this part of my being, but it is important to understand that we each took on bodies for a reason.  While they are not the totality of our being, it is essential that we understand and trust that our Spirit's needed this experience.  Keywords: plant, deed, son, manifestation, effect, form, result.

Soul - I want you to understand this part especially since understanding this will help you to understand how prayer works.  The soul is the creative medium of life.  It is made up of the "workers" of the Universe.  It is not conscious in that it does not think or question what it is given, its function is to produce.   This is the realm of pure potential.  A brief example would be to compare it to planting.  The soul acts like the soil, you place into it the seeds of your desire.   Given the right circumstances you get the manifestation of what you planted.  What you plant matters not, its job is produce.  Every thought you think or word you speak is a like seed, it is planted into the Universal soil/soul and is transformed into some result.  It says yes to what you desire, that is why clarity is extremely important.  Confused or conflicted intentions produce confused or conflicted results.  Keywords: soil, soul, creative medium, subconscious, worker, womb, holy spirit, invisible force.

Mind, body, soul, word, thought, and deeds all work in concert.  Throughout antiquity man has discussed the soul as if it belonged to the body and when the body dies the soul is set free.  What I am setting forth here is that the Spirit or Mind is the point where God is individualized as us.  The soul itself is impersonal and neutral but acts  necessarily.  This soul consist of the invisible life forms - ascended masters, ancestors, angels, fairies and spirits of all types - that supports and maintains physical life.  This combined collective, this matrix is God.   Doesn't that neatly rap up God being everywhere present, all powerful and all knowing?  It is all part of one whole that is God.

Having set this forth, let me make this disclaimer.  I meditate and like Socrates "the more I know, the more I know I don't know."  So in my meditations new and more profound revelations occur constantly.  For this reason I reserve the right to modify or change my mind.  This is a process of unfoldment and I will remain open to receive new information, when and if I do I'll let you know.
