Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Nungali replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
and the definitions of the terms -
By fulfilling your own definition of what you think it is . Or maybe you have adopted a specific definition ?

Yes, that's the way to go about . read up on the planets and what they represent , then the houses they are in then the aspects they have with each other . Its tricky at first but after a little time it all starts coming together . When you have that down start adding the other planets and aspects and influences . Eventually it will be like a jigsaw puzzle, bits and patches of the picture will start to emerge . Eventually it should all fit together in your understanding ... like a giant kaleidoscope of 'person' . Then if you want to go further , you can turn the kaleidoscope and watch it change ( that's the daily or current chart . ) Then you can superimpose your natal over the daily - then you have transits . ... but that's in the future , don't rush ahead , get solid on the basics . ..... how do you feel today

Push their light body up through the mental subplanes. If it slides through the top of the mental plane without feeling any resistance, the person has met the most obvious requirement for first stage enlightenment. There are other requirements too, but those generally are less difficult to achieve

" ... universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. " I am taking the three forces as 'unreal' and not the Universes .... no doubt a variation on the 'purport' I have written a lot about this ...... beyond the concept of the three Gunas . They are 'unreal' as they are not 'material ' ... solid .... three- dimensional , but their existence is postulated as factual as their evidence is everywhere found . The three modes of nature interact ( on which ever level we consider ; eg the strong force, the weak force and the electromagnetic force ) but are 'beyond the veil' , 'above the abyss ' , 'behind material existence ' . But when these 'ideal' forces interact the produce another thing that is 'real' and material - or a 'multitude of things ' ( everything ) which is the '4th' stage of the manifestation ... connected to the other three but not in a way we can 'see' ( to follow the above example those three forces can fit into a 'unified field theory ' but the 4th force, gravity , does not - as it is a product of the first three , not part of their 'set' . ) Which is why, in the Tao . 'the three gave birth to all things ' ; people mostly consider the duality of yin and yang and acknowledge that 'signature' in creation , but the 'principle of three' seems little discussed. And not only do these three lead inevitable to 4 , but these 4 operate in three modes ; have a look at the way your fingers are constructed . " Mysterious Energy, triform, mysterious Matter, in fourfold and sevenfold division, the interplay of which things weave the dance of the Veil of Life upon the Face of the Spirit ... " Here the sevenfold division relates to the planets and represents 7 forms of energy interacting within the 12 (3 x4 ) modes or 'fields' . ,

Thanks @Nungali So, I am taking a little bit of a wild shot here, but in regards to Mercury/Hermes, the sun and the moon all being close to each other, my guess would be that it represents something along these lines: The sun represents the concious or higher self, while the moon the lower or subconcious, is that correct? Mercury is related to communications, and is, as you know, the messenger of the gods. So, I interpet this as higher and lower self being in tune with each other, and Hermes functioning as a connector between the two? A shot in the dark, but it is the best I could do. Actually, rereading your comment, I pretty much just repeated what you said. I couldnt really relate that much to any of the interpertations provided by the link. Second speech of Socrates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedrus_(dialogue) I asked AI (Gemini to be exact ) what the sun, moon and mercury in the first house represents: Is this fair? I then turned to gemini once again, asking what the sun, moon and mercury being situated in cancer implies, and got the following response: I mean... I guess I can relate to a good degree. And yes, this is a tropical chart. So, to conclude, Id like to ask if you are happy with the interpertations done so far, and also what the significance of the "drake" shape is. Never change

Enlightened activity gnows itself. That "tacit understanding" belongs to no-one.

Amount of likes on daobums, naturally. But on the real, vibes, basically. At times i meet people who clearly function at a much higher level on conciousness than I. What traits do they tend to have... presence, kindness, humility, a tremendious ability to know what to say and what not to say. A spark in the eye. Also, I get a strong sense that they are able to read my mind... They never judge. Seem to have strong life force/vitality. Yeah, something along these lines, I think. So Cobies response is quite good, I think: they "smile". Are gentle and kind. What more can you ask for, really. Would anyone like to attempt to define the term?
-
I ‘inner knowing’ know it we ‘know’ and smile at each other
-
a related question, for anyone: how do you discern if someone is enlightened

Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Surya replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
I was (and am) under the impression that the holy spirit is what enters you as you experience "second birth." Could you back up your claim, please? -
my rule of thumb is that if someone claims to be enlightened, then they are not

Cobie replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
incorrect, the Holy Spirit is omnipresent. -
... I seem, then, in just this little thing to be wiser than this man at any rate, that what I do not know I do not think I know either. [Henry Cary literal translation of 1897] Edit: forgot to add what text the above is a translation of aha, it is from Platos "apology," qouting Socrates

Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Cobie replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
imo the mind is part of the body and dies with the body. I am the soul that lives on after death. -
Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Surya replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
Yes, but germanic languages such as german and the scandinavian ones (dutch and icelandic I am not sure about), also has gesit/Ã¥nd meaning spirit, and latin has the terms animus as well as spiritus as well. So, I dont know. But as I see it, they are not the same: soul is present in every living being, while (IMO) spirit is not. Think about the holy ghost (spirit) in christianity for instance: that is not present in everyone, yet soul is. -
I’m half way there by knowing I’m not enlightened.

Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Cobie replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
imo soul and spirit are synonyms. The word ‘soul’ has Germanic roots; the word ‘spirit has Latin roots. Hence imo French having only the spirit form. -

BigSkyDiamond replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
i avoid using "spirit" altogether because it has too many secular meanings, and it is redolent of "ghosts" and the astral plane. i avoid using "soul" because it is for me too imprecise. so i tend to be wordier and more specific along the lines of "the part of the human that is infinte and non-physical" (in contrast to the human body which is physical and finite. "the part of you that existed before the body was born, and exists after the body dies" "spark of the Divine" "not bound by space or time or form" "immortal" and "eternal" are sometimes used, but at the level of the Divine spark, and at the level of the Divine, there is no time, so "living forever" does not really apply. good thread topic, you are asking good questions. looking forward to reading more. -
Spirit and soul, what is it and what differentiates them?
Surya replied to Surya's topic in General Discussion
For sure, but maybe we could explore some of these views, as well as our personal opinions. One place to begin, for instance, is that close to all european languages has a separate word (and therefor concept, I would assume) for soul and spirit, while french does not.
