Appendix: Interview Outline

How the Human Soul Functions: Session 1 Part 1

1. General introduction

Welcome today to a discussion. I have invited Luli Faber along to join me with, and the discussion is about how the human soul operates. The main reason why I wanted to have this discussion with somebody was because we get many questions about the soul and how the human soul operates, but many of these questions are based around assumptions about the soul itself that are false. And there is often confusion between the mind and the soul and there's also confusion about what constitutes the soul compared to the mind. And so during this discussion we're going to talk primarily about how the soul itself operates in comparison to how the mind operates. That's why we're having the discussion.

Once we have this discussion we have then the ability to refer to this discussion when we're answering questions about the human soul and in the FAQ channel there will eventually be many, many questions that we want to answer about the human soul. But most of the questions will be answered by referring to some of these principles that we're discussing in this discussion that I'm having with Luli. So thank you Luli for coming along and joining me with the discussion.

Interviewer: Pleasure.

And like I said to you off camera, feel free to ask any questions as we go along and also any points of clarification that you want to make. And I've really just asked Luli to come along to keep me in line today, so (laughs) if you can keep me in line today that would be great as well. (Laughs)

2. Introduction to how the human soul functions

So let's just talk about the human soul in comparison to the spirit body's organs and the physical body's organs initially.

2.1. The half soul requires the physical and spirit bodies for experiencing the universe

When God created the human soul, He knew at some point, due to its creation, that He would separate the two halves of the soul and have an incarnation process where they could become individualised. And as a result of that, He created all of these sensory apparatus in each half of the soul, that when the two halves of the soul split apart the sensory apparatus in one half of the soul has to connect to something and the sensory apparatus in the other half of the soul has to connect to something in order to experience the universe around it. And God created this wonderful process where a human couple who love each other make love with each other, create two bodies, the spirit body and the material body; and the half of the soul, the sensory apparatus, can now connect to those bodies through these cords and therefore experience the universe, firstly by experiencing the physical universe and then by experiencing the spiritual universe.

And so the physical body has organs of its own. We have the organs of sight, hearing, all the sensory apparatus plus a brain and all the internal organs. They are all used by the physical body in order to maintain itself while it’s alive. And the spirit body also has a whole group of similar organs. It has a heart, it has a mind, it has the sense of sight and other senses, and in fact it has an even greater amount of senses than the physical body has. And so we have these two bodies, which are basically like organisms, or you can almost think of them as robots that the half of a soul, the one half that split away from the soul in the union state in its un-incarnated state, can now experience the universe through, until it reaches the union state again in a conscious manner. [00:04:06.25]

Now for all of that to occur we must start to understand what we're developing if we're actually growing in love, what part of ourselves we're developing. So we're obviously not developing the physical body as the primary point of development and we're also not developing the spirit body as the primary point of development. We're developing the soul and so therefore we need to understand how the soul works, we need to understand how it’s organised.

And we also need to understand that our physical body and our physical body brain is actually being exercised by something behind it, through this silver cord that connects our physical body with our spirit body. And then our spirit body's brain and all of its other organs are also being influenced by something behind it, the soul of the individual, and it's the half of the soul of the individual because it's yet to be into a completed union state.

Now if we remember that in this discussion then that will help us greatly in terms of determining what the soul is and what the spirit body's mind is and what the physical body's brain is in particular. Because a lot of the questions we receive are a lot about - if I exercise my mind in this direction how does that relate to my soul? And is my soul developed if I’ve developed my mind? And there are all these ideas or concepts that people have that you can make your mind be more loving, when that's actually a physical impossibility. There are all these basic concepts of misunderstandings that I feel cause people's questions that we would really like to iron out, and the way we can iron them out is by discussing how the soul works, how the spirit body works and how the physical body works to a degree, and how they all fit together to become our conscious existence, firstly in the physical world and then in the spirit world.

So if we refer firstly to this physical body of which you've done a lot of work on the brain and so forth, you can see in science that generally there's a lot of emphasis on the brain and its ability to control all of the functions of the physical body. What have you found in that process? [00:06:28.24]

Interviewer: There's just a complete mystery as to how it manifests the mind. Everyone thinks that somehow a bunch of nerve cells going off can create thoughts and ideas and beliefs.

And personality.

Interviewer: And personality and free will and all these things but no one has the foggiest. There's not even a theory, there’s just no idea.

No idea about how it works and so what we need to do is talk about perhaps a bit about how it actually does work so that people can understand.

2.1.1. Interactions between the soul, spirit body and physical body

So firstly we've got our physical body and let's focus on our mind because that's where a lot of our thought obviously seems to take place, if we could say. But the reality is, as you know from working with the brain, that a part of the brain can die and then you would think if that part of the brain had died then the thoughts associated with that part of the brain would also be dead. But there have been occasions where a person has gone through some kind of recovery process after a stroke for example, and then all of a sudden they get back the memories that you thought they lost. And that's pretty obvious then that that part of the brain didn’t contain the memories that they lost, it was a temporary loss for some reason.

Interviewer: They explain it as that it's some kind of diffused network of information and they just source it from another bit of the network.

Exactly. Then there's also the issues that you would have heard about too where people have lost their sense of sight and then all of a sudden through some medical operation or whatever regained their sense of sight. So these kinds of instances show that if the physical body loses a sense of some kind it doesn't necessarily mean that the person behind the physical body has lost that sense at all. What it means is that the physical body is unable to manifest it, is unable to actually have an outward manifestation of what the capability is anymore because of the loss of the sense of the physical body.

So the physical body has senses of its own that
