Updating a Soul
by Zackarius
Psyche — the human mind or soul [C17: from Latin, from Greek psukh? breath, soul; related to Greek psukhein to breathe]
I was driving by a cemetery the other day and my niece asked me what it was. I told her it was a cemetery and what that meant, and then she asked me why people were there walking around. It occurred to me to say that being close to their loved ones helped them connect with their feelings. The reason why is that the physical remains of their loved ones serve as a helpful and automatic cue to boot up the working model of that person, their soul. By doing this they are able to internally commune with the soul of the loved one and a dialogue occurs inside.
Getting to know someone or knowing someone well basically means learning their psyche or soul. The brain uses that information to generate a working model of their psyche or soul. If you have ever said that someone you know would love a certain movie or book, then you have used a working model of their soul to know something that they would know and then use that information to draw a conclusion or make a decision. Loving someone is essentially carrying a copy or imprint of someone’s soul and generating it as an active working model.
Lovers use these soul models to divine one another’s intentions and needs, as do friends and family. Lovers may say they never talk anymore, and this means there has been no updates to the soul file. To feel out of touch like this is to actually feel the absence of the soul model, the version of someone you know or love that exists within you. If you don’t talk to someone you love and catch up, you won’t have an up to date reflection of their soul.
Sometimes the opposite is true, we can be highly aware of another person through love and know another person better than they know themselves. Their soul model within us isn’t clouded by troubles like it may be in their mind. We may have a clear vision of their perspective, and so their soul, through us, can express itself. Sometimes we receive acts of love that are really our own intentions from our own soul, as understood and carried out by another who loves us.
So if all these wills, intentions, psyches or souls can exist within the physical structure of the brain, who is the real self? Awareness experiences information coming from the body-psyche, as well as the experiences of any soul models carried within. All experience is for awareness, it is the Heart of the Universe. Even though awareness may be the truest form of self, our ego and all of its degrees of psyche, lay claim to body and mind. The psyche doesn’t always understand that it is a guest or geist, and awareness is the host. The divine soul extends from the spirit of awareness. The divine soul, which any conscious life form can incarnate, knows itself and can allow the myriad of soul-perspectives to abide with it, sharing one temple of body and mind.
If the body-psyche or soul releases its claim over the brain, the brain becomes a structure in which many souls can find expression. People who are good communicators are able to do this. They can learn who the other person is and allow that model to inform them of what a person really needs. Essentially, our internal experience of relationship is the communication of many individual psyches for the purpose of arriving at a certain intention.
It interesting to note that every soul inside our brain is subject to belief. If you believe that life ends when the physical body dies, then all of the souls in your mind will experience a psychological pseudo-death. The fate of every soul within us, including our own, is determined by our own definition of what life is. If one believes that life is eternal, then neither you or any soul-model within will experience death.
What does it feel like for a mind to believe in death and all of the working soul-models within it to process themselves and offer their input under that belief? What does it feel like for a mind not to believe in death and for all of the working soul-models within to know that they exist within us still in our memories as perspectives and offer us their release, love, and transcendent insight from the standpoint of eternal life?
Awareness is the Heart of the Universe, the center through which all souls or psyches have experience. All souls need but be remembered and they are alive through the spirit of awareness. All who find comfort in the Heart of the Universe carry the souls of each other, and within one another know no death. People do live on in our memories and hearts
No soul within my heart will know death. May my understanding of love allow all the life around me and within to enjoy and celebrate eternal life through the spirit of awareness that is the Heart of the Universe.
