Soul System

Book excerpt: Of the Soul System: The soul system is a kind of "engine" planted in each individual, and operates based on universal principles. The system contains sub-systems such as awareness, intellect, listening, imagination, and more. Each one of these sub-systems is saturated with personal substances and wrapped in an individual sheath. From the outside, the sheath looks and is perceived as different; however, from the inside, the same systems operate similarly in each of us. Just as various car models are not alike from the outside, but from the inside their engines operate on the same principles.Misunderstanding these systems, or ignoring them even if unintentionally, causes them to malfunction. The side effects are anger, hate, fixation, impatience, disregard of others, self-destruction, and suffering. Understanding these systems allows their rectification and intactness, and keeps the individual's soul vital, open, and ready to respond capably to life's challenges.
