The Faculties Of The Soul
When the soul is in the body it functions through three faculties (non-physical
entities). Although each faculty (entity) can be given a different name, it is actually
the same energy, the soul, functioning on three different levels simultaneously.
These are the mind, the intellect and the sanskaras.
Mind is the thinking energy of the soul. It is the mind that imagines, thinks and
forms ideas. The thought process is the basis of all emotions, desires and sensations.
It is through this faculty that, in an instant, thoughts can be projected to a far
off place (one can travel to a far off place on the thought level); past experiences
and emotions can be relived or even the future anticipated in less than a second.
It is the mind that experiences the variations of moods. The mind is an energy of
the non-physical soul, not to be confused with the heart or even the brain.

Message for the day 17-04-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
As is our thought, so we will become.
Projection: When we are faced with our weaknesses, we usually think of our
own negativity and are caught up with it. We can no longer think positive and we
continue to work with our own weaknesses. We will, then, find no improvement in
ourselves.
Solution: We need to create a very elevated thought for ourselves based on
any of our strengths or specialities. When we do that we will be able to bring about
a positive change in ourselves without being caught up with our own weaknesses.
