Three Parts of Being

Each life force in our universe has 3 entities, the 'Three Parts of Being'. Physical, mental & spiritual. There are many names for these three entities, depending on whether you ask a Catholic priest or a Scientist.

Physical is the body, the vehicle we use to travel in this life. It is our representation of what we like to be seen as. Not necessarily who we are, but what we like to be seen as.

Mental is the mind, the part of us that makes decisions based on experiences we have had and lessons we have learnt during the duration of the time we have been using our current physical body (vehicle).

Spirit is the soul, this is the part of us that is who we ARE and who we will always be. It's the part of us that makes you feel good when you see an old friend, or makes us feel sad when someone close to us dies. The spirit is a 'part' of us that is always with us, in life as in death. Once again depending on who you ask, you will get a different answer. For me, the 'spirit' or 'soul' is our 'Essential Self'. It is the essence of who we are as an individual, what we stand for and what we believe in.

Different 'spirits' or 'souls' give different types of guidance. Some guidance may be in the form of a *warm & fuzzy* feeling when we are doing something good for ourselves. Other guidance might be feeling bad when you harm someone, or feeling good when you help someone.

I don't know if this answers any questions or creates more. However, this is what I believe as an individual. I don't force this belief onto others, but it does make a lot of sense. As well as give me a great sense of 'understanding of self' on a day to day basis. And that is what is important isn't it. Understanding one's self, knowing who we are and being happy to be who we are.

Please remember one more thing. "There is no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong'. 'Wrong' is simply that which does not serve you to be who you choose to be at that moment. Everyone is looking for happiness on this planet, some simply choose to look in strange places.
