You are made up of body, soul, and spirit. In addition, you have the carnal, animal nature - the mark of the beast as a result of your evolutionary animal origin. You also have a personality and a mind. Your personality is eternally changeless. It is permanence in the midst of all kinds of continuous changes. Your mind is very, very deep, very, very wide, broad, etc. It experiences changes. Your mind is divided into three main aspects: the material, the morontial, and the spiritual aspects.
You have willpower. You have "free will." You have the power of decision-choice given to you by God. Now, for you to have amazing experiences, and outstanding victories in your daily life, you have to make use of your power of choice to choose godly thoughts, words, and actions that will get you to tap into the great powers or awesome abilities of your body, soul, and spirit. *This is a call to action!* Please, have this in mind as you continue reading. Be blessed!
YOUR BODY
Your body is physical or material, and it is the outer court of your temple, your tabernacle. This is the outer court of your mind. This is the material part of your mind. This is your conscious mind. For example, your brain, a very vital part of your body, has direct access to your conscious mind. As a result, we may say that your body is in the conscious levels of your mind.
YOUR SOUL
Your soul exists in the middle realms of your mind, in the middle area of your mind - your mid-mind. This is the inner court of your mind - the morontia part of your mind. Your soul is morontial in nature. This means it exists in a realm between the outward-physical, carnal, or material and the spiritual. (Think of "morontia" as semi-spiritual). Your soul is growing intellectually and spiritually. Your soul is in what we may call the subconscious levels of your mind (for lack of better words).
For mid-mind, please see Urantia Book 111:2.8
111:2.8, "The midway creatures have long denominated this evolving soul of man the mid-mind in contradistinction to the lower or material mind and the higher or cosmic mind. This mid-mind is really a morontia phenomenon since it exists in the realm between the material and the spiritual..."
YOUR SPIRIT
Your spirit is the divine spirit, your Thought Adjuster, the still, small voice within you. (This is the technique through which God the Father, himself, is able to live in you. Please, remember, the Paradise Father cannot literally live in you. You will explode!) Your spirit dwells in the superconscious levels of your mind. This is your Holy of Holies within. This is the highest area of your mind. This is your innermost temple or innermost court within. This is the purely spiritual part of your mind. This part of your mind is 100% pure, spotless, pure gold, pure bliss, etc. This is "the citadel of the spirit."
For the superconscious mind, please see Urantia Book 91:2.6
91:2.6, "...But there is also a domain of prayer wherein the intellectually alert and spiritually progressing individual attains more or less contact with the superconscious levels of the human mind, the domain of the indwelling Thought Adjuster..."
This Urantia Book (UB) text more or less reveals the domains of your soul and your spirit - the subconscious levels of your mind (domain of the soul) and the superconscious levels of your mind (domain of the spirit):
UB Paper 91:3.5, "...Prayer induces the human ego to look both ways for help: for material aid to the subconscious reservoir of mortal experience, for inspiration and guidance to the superconscious borders of the contact of the material with the spiritual, with the Mystery Monitor."
Sincerely,
Love & Light!
