JUST TO REMIND

In the mass consciousness, the soul exists as some imaginary poetic expression. Some even try to describe it as biochemical processes in the brain. But the soul is completely real and has nothing to do with the brain, because it is an energy construct. More than 20 years ago I wrote that the astral body can also be called the animal soul, because roughly speaking, it contains and controls the animal instincts in man. And the mental/mental body I call the human soul, containing all the rules and dogmas suggested by the family, the environment and society as a whole, in short: ego. And the soul body or the divine soul is one with the whole and conforms to universal laws and goals (the so-called higher self).
Therefore, it is appropriate to distinguish three levels in our consciousness: instincts such as physical survival and the sexual drive. The second level arises from the ego/mind and is determined by survival in competitive conditions – all sorts of imagined fears and worries. And the third level is the sensations of the divine soul: such as joy, happiness, curiosity, interest, love and many others.
For example, depression is a typical internal conflict: a person is convinced that he is doing the right thing according to universal standards, and the soul suffers because it fails the incarnation, i.e. the mind does not allow the aspirations and interests of the soul, because they contradict the common sense, the standards – that is why psychological (of the soul) convulsions occur.
It is very puzzling that people seek happiness in material acquisitions, since happiness is an experience of the soul – the state when it succeeds in fulfilling what was planned for the incarnation. Did they have anything in common? Material gains are imposed on society by consumer aspirations, by advertisements. And what is planned for the incarnation manifests itself as interest, as inspiration, which, if discovered and realized, create a feeling of ecstasy, as they say: my soul sings.
But these are very rare phenomena, and gray everyday life is dictated by competition, which creates successful and unsuccessful ones, which affects self-esteem as pride and complexes. And the stronger the competition, the greater the wobble in these extremes. Low self-esteem is very depressing, so people protect themselves by looking for something to brag about, ie. they start playing imaginary roles, posing and pretending to be what they are not. But this cannot make them happy and satisfied, because it is self-deception of the mind, illusions. And the soul does not enjoy such illusions. But the mind constantly tries to prove that it is the best to silence the inner discomfort, but it clearly realizes that it is deceiving itself, and then it begins to seek salvation in clouding awareness with alcohol and drugs. This results in a constant wavering in extremes between the torments of the soul and another illusion of the mind, which does not give any encouraging prospects and hopes.
But still there are such, it is enough to consider that in the imposed mass values there is nothing that pleases the soul and to begin to observe and take into account what gives us pleasure, what inspires us – this is exactly what the mental reactions of mental activity are. I.e. we must remove the dictates of the mind and accept the leading role of the soul: this should be an easy conclusion, but it is not in the mass consciousness, and therefore few achieve it. However, mass values diverge to a very large extent from the individual interests of our soul, so it is much wiser to conform to our own desires rather than to those of others.
Therefore, the soul must be like the ruling party, and the mind like the opposition – the rulers look optimistically at all their endeavors, and the opposition looks for their weaknesses – this is how balance and successful management is obtained. But if the opposition is weak (complexar), the result is a windy, hovering person who flutters like a headless fly here and there without any practical benefit.
Therefore, the solution is always in the golden mean: in avoiding extremes, maximalism and minimalism, in a conscious search for balance and moderation in everything. Gradually give up the search for the unequivocal truth, from duality (everything is multidimensional, contains different versions of truth, everything is both positive and negative at the same time), therefore you should already look for the OPTIMAL RATIO of all ingredients according to your goals.
