Does a person have a soul and where is it located?

All world religions and practicing psychics not only do not deny the presence of a soul, but also express the bold idea that a person is a soul surrounded by the shells of a material body. Leaving its abode at the moment of physical death of the organism, the ephemeral substance continues its path, passing into the subtle worlds. What happens to a person’s soul after the moment of death directly depends on what it was fed during life and what actions were performed.

Separation of the soul from the body

Components

The soul is a vortex substance that stores energy and all the experience accumulated during each incarnation in the physical world. Like the human body, the soul is capable of growing and developing; it is multidimensional and contains several levels.

Only humans have a soul, but every living and nonliving creature on the planet has a Spirit. This is the primary divine particle, a component of the universe, which is everywhere and everywhere. The soul can be destroyed, sold, lost, but the Spirit cannot.

Let's imagine human shells in the form of a hierarchy: the physical body is controlled by the soul, the soul, in turn, is subject to the control of the Spirit, all this is surrounded by conscience, like an ocean that directs a person to the path of goodness and justice.

Multidimensional structure of soul and spirit

Peter Novochekhov will tell about the components of the soul from the point of view of the Bible, about the purpose of the Spirit:

The soul itself consists of 3 components, which are described in the following subheadings.

Animal soul

The lowest level is usually called animal - it is he who is responsible for the current embodiment in bodily form. Located in the lower Dan Tien field, the animal soul changes from incarnation to incarnation.

It manifests itself at the level of instincts and physical desires. It is not capable of giving birth to thoughts and ideas, it does not accumulate life experience. If you allow physical needs to control your life, the animal soul will begin to grow, in which case the soul is not destined to move to a higher level of development, it gets stuck in the world of illusions.

Psychic soul

It is located at the level of the solar plexus, and its second name is the emotional soul. This is a constant part that passes from one shell to another, accumulating the experience of emotions, experiences and dreams experienced during earthly life.

It is this level of the soul that is responsible for the brightness of feelings: thanks to it, a person cries and laughs, experiences rage and peace.

Learn to control emotions during the soul’s earthly existence: this will help it move to a new level, and not descend to a permanent stay on the animal level.

Here is the “control panel” of love: and the maturity of this feeling will depend only on the level of the soul. Young people, as a rule, reduce love to the level of animal instincts, while mature souls are capable of raising it to a qualitatively new height - making love absolute.

Rational soul

This part connects the body and Spirit, according to experts, located at the level of the heart or slightly higher. It is completely devoid of emotions and feelings: while the animal soul experiences endless needs, and the emotional soul experiences the entire spectrum of feelings, the rational part looks for ways to solve problems and comprehends what is happening.

The rational soul is located in the region of the heart

Filling and cleansing

John Holland opined:

Your soul is very wise and always attracts to itself what you need to learn in life.

To maintain mental health, serious work with the body and thoughts is necessary. It is thoughts that cause us to express both positive and negative emotions. And thoughts are born from experienced feelings.

The strength of the soul weakens from anger, envy, anger, hatred, resentment and the like that destroy it. And vice versa, it becomes greater when a person experiences joy, admiration, gratitude, sympathy, love, tenderness.

Experts recommend a unique set of “tools” for cleansing the body and filling it with strength, which will help get rid of negative thoughts and, as a result, lead to mental health.

Cleansing Tools:

• proper therapeutic fasting;
• fast;
• physical activities and exercises;
• bath practices;
• massage;
• hardening of the body.

Filling Tools:

• proper, healthy nutrition;
• trips;
• walks in the open air;
• creation;
• hobby.

In a healthy body healthy mind. Trite, but simple and true.

Without which there is no life

For a long time, people have been trying to understand where the human soul is located, without which existence is impossible. One of the students of the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, Galen, suggested that its place was in the blood vessels. When dying, a person loses blood, with which the soul leaves the body. But then it is unclear what happens in the event of death not from blood loss.

The ancient Egyptians assumed that the existence of the soul is unrealistic without preserving the body, which is why rituals to preserve bodily shells acquired such great importance in culture; Egyptologists still find “houses of souls” - mummies.

It was also assumed that the soul is located in the chest area - after all, it is this that makes it possible to breathe, which is impossible in a dead state. The peoples of the north placed the soul in the area of ​​the cervical vertebra, because they knew that damage to it would lead to inevitable death.

East

In Eastern philosophy, views on the soul differ from the searches of ancient thinkers. Scientists note the practicality of worldviews: if the teachings of Plato or Aristotle had little in common with life, then Chinese philosophy had a direct relationship to it. It is considered not as one of the possible knowledge for a person, but as an obligatory part of culture for the educated.

India

In Indian culture there was a division into castes. The development of philosophical problems was carried out by the highest - priests or brahmans. The first recorded source of such thought is the Vedas. These are collections of texts on religious, philosophical, socio-political topics.

The Vedas are divided into 4 main parts. To understand the concept, the key will be the Upanishads - philosophical commentaries on texts. The word translates as “sitting at the feet of the teacher.”

In Indian culture there are two souls - cosmic and human

1. First, the doctrine appeared about the presence of a soul in all living things. It equalizes a plant, an animal, a person. After death, transmigration occurs—the cycle of samsara. Associated with it is the concept of personal law - karma.
2. Next, the categories Brahman and Atman arise. The first is the cosmic soul, the absolute principle that filled the Universe. Atman is a personal, individual principle, “I”.

The Vedas proclaim the unity of Brahman and Atman. The highest goal of existence becomes moksha - liberation from the chain of migrations.

In the VI-V centuries. BC, orthodox and unorthodox philosophical schools arise. The latter do not support or change the concept of the Vedas. The new ones include Jainism, Buddhism, Charvaka.

Jainism

The philosophy of the soul in this direction is opposed to the Vedas. The teaching places emphasis on the will of man, the individual. Even the spiritual life of man is freed from the influence of the gods. And karma is the connection between the corporeal and the immaterial. One can free oneself from its laws with the help of good deeds and asceticism.

Buddhism

The direction of Buddhism denies the presence of a soul in the traditional sense in a person. There is no ether, no divine influence. The world was not created by anyone, but it exists. Moral values ​​and liberation from desires come to the fore. The key concepts are mind and body. The main goal of existence in endless rebirths is nirvana.

Charvaka

Unorthodox followers of Charvaka identified the soul with the mind and senses. It appears when the primary elements called mahabhutas combine in a certain combination. In their direction, she is mortal, disappearing after the death of the body.

China

The philosophy of the soul in China was only practical. It lacked a powerful mythological base, so the directions were of an everyday, almost everyday nature. Every Chinese perceives philosophy not as a possible interpretation of abstract phenomena, but as a guide to life.

Chinese philosophy is not rich in theories about the origin of the human soul, but rather about its upbringing

Chinese philosophy fosters moral values ​​and a love of art. Few philosophers have developed the concept of the soul. For a long time, Buddhism influenced the culture.

The school of natural philosophers (Zou Yan) developed in detail the idea of ​​Qi, Yin-Yang, and Xing energy. The terms were used before them, but the understanding was extremely brief:

1. Qi is the basis of everything, a certain matter, intangible and similar to air. Souls, bodies, objects are made from qi.
2. Yin-Yang and Xing are general classes of things. Then the first concept began to be conceptualized as a binary opposition of the north-south type, and Xing became the theory of the five elements.

Chinese philosophy differs significantly from other directions. Much has to do with understanding the hieroglyph and turning to ancient mythology. Features of the exercise:

1. They determined the specifics of culture and mentality.
2. Aimed at the practical life of the state, society, family, and individual.
3. Related to ethics and politics.
4. They have an aphoristic style and figurative language.
5. Strongly tied to tradition.
6. Separated from the natural sciences.

Nowadays there is also no consensus

The results published by German psychologists from the city of Lubeck are interesting. A group of children aged 6 to 18 were methodically asked: “Where do you think the soul is?” It is striking that all the older children pointed to the entire body - from the heels to the top of the head, but the little ones unanimously pointed to a point just to the left of the heart. Perhaps they feel the soul more acutely than their older comrades and are able to accurately determine its location?

Scientists are not accustomed to relying on empirical methods and statistical data from sociological surveys: they prefer dry facts.

Is the soul part of the brain?

In the 17th century, the famous French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes put forward the opinion that the soul is an integral part of the brain, located in the pineal gland - the only unpaired section of the most important human organ, discovered by the Russian Nikolai Kobyzev.

Pineal gland of the brain

Followers of Descartes' theory claim that in children under 7 years of age, the pineal gland is shaped like an eye with a pronounced lens, photoreceptors and nerve endings characteristic of the standard structure of the eye. But upon reaching primary school age, it gradually begins to atrophy, since most people do not use it.

Biologists from the American George Washington University conducted experiments to identify the functions of the pineal gland. One of them involved taking an encephalogram in patients near death. The photographs of all the dying people in the last seconds of life were strikingly similar to each other: the picture resembled a real explosion. And the scale of empirical impulses soared to the point of highest indicators. Scientists have suggested that this unusual brain activity is evidence of the release of a colossal energy flow. Perhaps this is nothing more than a farewell to the body and soul.

Is the heart the head of everything?

You can often hear that the heart is the true home of the soul. This fact is also confirmed by the theory of world religions about the farewell of the body to the soul on the 40th day of death, it is during this period that the cells of the human heart are completely destroyed. Coincidence or pattern?

Unfortunately, in the field of studying the soul today there are many more questions than answers. Paul Purcell, a practicing American psychiatrist, conducted his own investigation and interviewed 140 transplant survivors. The results are published in the book “The Heart Code”, and they are truly amazing. It turned out that after a heart transplant, a person’s personality changes greatly; he takes on the traits of the organ donor.

Paul Purcell and his book "The Heart Code"

The following story argues against Purcell's concept. Cheryl Johnson, 37, received a kidney from a 60-year-old donor. After the transplant, the woman began to show intolerance and incontinence, previously unusual for her. It turned out that the donor had a violent temperament, which was mysteriously passed on to Cheryl.

Can blood be a container for the soul?

Blood transfusion has long become a routine procedure, but every time doctors are impressed by the transformations in a person. Particularly striking changes can be observed if the transfusion was significant in volume. Height and weight may undergo changes, the shape of the earlobe and even the chin will transform.

A case of 3 liters of blood transfusion to Alexander Litvin, who was wounded as a result of hostilities, is described. The doctor was unable to obtain the entire required volume of a rare blood type for transfusion from one person; a group of his colleagues became donors. After being discharged from the hospital, the man was amazed by the external changes in his body: his height suddenly increased by 5 centimeters and his weight by 6 kilograms. The shape of the ear has also changed.

This case leads to the logical conclusion that blood is the home of the soul.

Even the clock stops

Let's consider the anomalous phenomena that precede death. Professor Charles Tart and physicist Robert Monroe, as well as pre-death researcher Melvin Morse, are actively working on the issue.

Scientists working on thanatology

All scientists support the theory of preservation of part of consciousness in the subcortex of the brain even after the recorded death of the organism. They are trying to confirm this theory by discovering its material basis - the particles that make up the core of the soul. They are also investigating cases of encounters with the spirits of the dead, who can be seen within a day after a person’s heart stops.

According to the records of Melvin Morse, everyone who encountered ghosts discovered a certain pattern - their wristwatches malfunctioned or stopped completely after such an otherworldly encounter. This unusual phenomenon gave reason to assume the presence of a strong energy field in the souls of deceased people.

Charles Tart is famous for his experience with oscilloscopes: he placed the devices in the wards of terminally ill patients and waited for their activity to show. While people were alive, the instruments were silent, but just a couple of seconds after death, oscilloscopes recorded bursts of activity, which again confirms the theory of the presence of an electromagnetic field of the soul.

Textbook of Death

In the 8th century AD, a Tibetan-born Buddhist preacher, Guru Padmasambhava, created a treatise dedicated to the art of death as a process. The book teaches the correct passage through the last test on the path of life, it is based on the ancient scrolls and is called “Bardo Thödol”, which literally translates as “Book of the Dead”.

Tibetan Book of the Dead

The book describes in detail the “bardo” - the stages of death through which every person is destined to go. Exactly 49 days pass from physical death to the next reincarnation of the soul. To successfully pass through this test, you need to know certain tantric practices, so generously and in detail described by the Tibetan guru.

According to the entries in the “Book of the Dead”, after death the soul does not lose sight and connection with the real world that it left: for some time it monitors relatives and friends, watches how farewell to its physical shell goes, and pays attention to the material side funeral rite.

After the body has been buried, the soul rushes to meet the Luminous Beings, not feeling fear of them, but rejoicing at the approach of this hour. The deceased looks into a kind of mirror, in which he sees every single one of his earthly actions. At the moment of viewing, a full awareness of the meaning of life comes. After the mirror of fate, the human soul enters the Great Judgment and hovers for 49 days in anticipation of a new rebirth, the form for which was determined at the Judgment.

Her tongue

What do we feel when we say: “the soul hurts or aches,” “the soul grows cold,” “the soul screams,” and so on. Anxiety, fear, pain. Where does this come from? How else can the Universe or God communicate with us? We ask them for protection and help, but often we do not pay attention to the signs that are sent to us.

We are constantly cared for and protected. The language of the soul is different from ours. This is the language of subtle feelings that describes our emotional and energetic state. It is important to listen to what they want to tell us. It is important to look closely at what signs are being sent to us.

If a person is calm or joyfully excited, then he is on the right path. And his soul sings! If, on the contrary, the feeling of depression and anxiety persists, it is worth reconsidering your path. Perhaps they want to protect a person from something.

1. The language of kicks. These are incredible random events. For example, you stumbled, broke something, or you were “touched to the quick” by a phrase accidentally dropped by someone.
2. Language of the situation. Example: being late, an important meeting was disrupted, a violation of an agreement, and so on.
3. The language of failure. In this case, the most important attachment for him is “taken away” from the person. For example, money, relationships, career.
4. Language of direct contact. In search of an answer, a person goes to grandmothers, clairvoyants. Or suddenly he receives a book, or an invitation to classes. With this help, he finds the reason for the negative things happening to him.
5. The language of dependency. From bad habits, slot machines and so on.
6. Language of choice. Serious illness, accidents.

The Creator is like a wise parent. Starts with a little shake. But if a person rejects the information, does not change his attitude to what is happening, does not want to take lessons, the punishment becomes more severe, up to the cessation of any independent choice.

The Lord God is a programmer, and our souls are his programs

With the development of computer technology, an interesting theory has emerged that the soul is information about our personality, recorded in the Universe in the form of a special code. In this hypothesis, the Universe is perceived as a perfect computer, which contains everything that happens on earth and beyond. Each step of a person is predetermined and calculated by a special program embedded in the body shell with the help of the soul.

Today, scientists are experimenting with powerful quantum computers that can accommodate, calculate, and store enormous amounts of information. It was they who gave the scientist Seth Lloyd the idea of ​​​​a perfect device capable of processing all the information in the Universe.

Following the scientist’s logic, the soul is still a program akin to a computer program, but especially complex. She is capable of self-improvement and self-learning. How the largest database in the Universe is transmitted and where it is stored remains a mystery, but the theory continues to find followers.

Three ways to live

Pay attention to the words of St. Maximus the Confessor:

When the three forces of the soul: rational, irritable and desirable - from the simplicity of the one and only good turn to the consideration and distinction of evil and good things that exist here in the world. Then desire, thought, and feeling inseparably rush towards that which is contrary to the will of God. For then the irritable force moves only towards these and among these things.

A person combines three ways of life:

• plant life;
• life of animals;
• life of Angels.

The plant (lower) component manifests itself in the awareness of the physiological functions of the body - nutrition, breathing, reproduction. The bodily state is characterized by ego-mind (emotions, desires).

Animal (intermediate) - in the emergence of sensual desires, the implementation of voluntary activity. The state of mind is characterized by moral reason (feelings, will).

Angelic (highest) rewards a person with the ability to spiritual life, to communicate with God. She has a spiritual mind (experiences, intentions).

Scientists' opinion

For the most part, scientists remain skeptical about the reality of the soul. However, enthusiasts from the world of science never cease to amaze.

Pavel Guskov from Barnaul conducted an experiment with water, trying to prove that each person’s soul is as individual and capable of leaving imprints like fingertips. Five people were invited, placing a glass of water next to each for 10 minutes. After this, Guskov analyzed the samples for changes in structure. Surprisingly, it turned out that the water of each of the experiment participants acquired new properties that were different from the rest of the focus group samples.

Psychics believe that material confirmation of the reality of the soul is just a matter of time.

Become a true creator of your reality

So what is the essence of the human soul?

The soul is our essence and the divine principle, a powerful force with which we are able to decide our destiny and control reality.

By making an effort to connect with your higher self and unify yourself, you will achieve inner harmony, gain peace of mind and experience absolute love for yourself and the whole world. You will be able to receive information from your higher self directly, and you will begin to understand how and where you should move to achieve your goal.

By connecting and learning to dialogue with your higher self, tracking your emotions and using meditation, you will easily begin to materialize your dreams and fulfill your desires, find your purpose and finally find happiness.

After this, you can proceed to the next steps. They will allow you to achieve any of your goals in just one month >>

I hope you now understand what the true nature and true essence of the human soul is. Establish a relationship with your higher self and open your soul to its desires.

A Practical Exercise for Soul Search

Having taken a comfortable position, close your eyes and mentally ask your subconscious: “Where is my soul?” Hands are intuitively placed on the place where the etheric substance feels located. Then, recall in as much detail as possible any memory that evoked strong emotions, good or bad. If the hands are in the right place, a picture-symbol will appear in the subconscious, which is a reflection of the person’s soul.

The images that have arrived indicate different stages of soul development:

1. Crystal - the soul has accumulated enough experience and can endow a person with special qualities, making him a useful element of the universe.
2. Flower - the soul is open to transformation, longs for change and new achievements.
3. The bird is a mobile form of the soul, ready to realize practical goals.
4. Humanoid form - she has many earthly reincarnations behind her.

The question of the existence of the soul never ceases to be the subject of heated debate between scientists and ordinary people, religious figures and psychics. Today the presence of a soul can only be confirmed indirectly, but the time is not far off when it will be possible to shed the light of truth on this issue.

Modern philosophy

Modern thinkers are divided into 2 groups: substantialists, who believe that the soul is a substance; actualists who think that it is a continuous connection of processes and acts. Over time, attempts to understand the essence of the intangible nature of man have become more complex.

Since the 19th century. (the beginning of modern philosophy) different schools put forward their own theories about the soul, body, spirit. Analysts appeared, hermeneutics and existentialism arose, and the philosophy of postmodernism looks at the problem in a completely different way.

Schools that support ancient, Eastern views on the nature of the soul also flourish. Religion plays a significant role: many Eastern philosophical teachings have become the basis for trends. Therefore, the question of the essence of man remains unresolved. Today, psychologists and psychoanalysts have joined in thinking about the soul.

   The soul - the DNA of a person, like that of any living creature, is a specific spectrum of EM waves and is formed during conception from several spectra of energy, which is not visible with the eyes, but visible with instruments. Therefore, it, like “dark matter,” cannot be found. So, from Eastern knowledge we know that the character - the soul of a person - is influenced by the sign of the Zodiac under which the process of conception took place. That the gender of the unborn child and the planting of plants are influenced by the energy of the moon phase. The character and skin color of a race is influenced by the energy of the territory of origin of a given race, and this part of the DNA spectrum - the Soul - is passed on from generation to generation for thousands of years. As a result, each person has his own character - a spectrum of DNA inherent in all parts of the body. This suggests that although we eat all the same things, we grow from a personal spectrum of EM waves formed during conception.

   Answer

Awakening

Man, created by God in his own image and likeness, is a powerful being. It contains colossal forces of the spiritual and energetic sphere of the universe. But, unfortunately, the majority leave without knowing their higher nature, without awakening the hidden powers of the soul.

But it’s not difficult. Look around! There are so many people around who need your help or participation. Do good. Provide support to your loved ones and friends. Sometimes someone really needs to be simply told: “It’s so good that you exist!”

The great strength of the human soul was demonstrated by those who, without fear of death, saved others. From fire, from water, from bullets, hunger, cold. Those who defended their country and people.
