The soul is like white light, which is composed of red, green and blue. The soul is composed of emotion, mind, and memory. Emotion can be positively manifested by love, joy, like or desire. It can be negatively manifested by hatred, sadness, distaste. The mind is manifested by reasoning, judgment, analysis, etc. The memory is a record of the activities of the emotion and the mind. The memory influences our character and destiny.
The emotion, mind and memory (soul) influence our social behavior. The soul which is three quarters of our existence survives when the physical body (the fourth quarter of our existence) dies. The soul is like energy which is by definition can only be transformed but not destroyed. The soul can leave the flesh body for a long time and reincarnate later as a new person. It can leave the flesh body and go back quickly as in waking up from a coma or sleep. All of which have healing effects caused by the healing energies of the spiritual realm. The soul can also ultimately move on to perfection and reunite with her Creator. This is the ultimate desire of the soul.
The emotion, mind and memory have been associated with the brain. This is because of the observable chemical changes in the brain. These chemical changes happen to effect physical functions and movements. The brain is just part of our physical existence.
I have researched this issue using Hebrew to English and Greek to English bible translations.The word for soul in the Greek
ReplyDeleteSoul
Definition: In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew neʹphesh and the Greek psy·kheʹ. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings
From the bible
Written by Solomon
For there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.Who really knows whether the spirit of humans ascends upward, and whether the spirit of animals descends down to the earth? And I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to find enjoyment in his work, because that is his reward; for who can enable him to see what will happen after he is gone?+

ReplyDeleteReincarnation, at least as I conceive it, does not nullify what we know about evolution and genetics. It suggests, however, that there may be two streams of evolution -- the biological one and a personal one -- and that during terrestrial lives these streams may interact. -- Ian Stevenson, Psychiatrist.
I have absolutely no fear of death. From my near-death research and my personal experiences, death is, in my judgment, simply a transition into another kind of reality.--Raymond Moody, Psychologist.
