Exploring the three components of the soul
In this book, we will explore the Mind, your Will and Emotions.
Let’s look at this in several different parts to analyze how the soul works.
First let’s examine the mind, but I want to look at this a little differently. Let’s look at what I call the real mind of a person, which is the heart.
It’s important because the mind as we know it can deceive us, but the heart shows the real intent and behavior of a person. But just as there is what I call the real mind, there is another mind.
Did you know that emotions can alter the perceptions of real events?
Our emotions are perhaps the greatest potential source of uniting all members of the human species. Clearly, our various religious, cultural and political beliefs have not united us.
Far too often, in fact, they have tragically and even fatally divided us. Emotions, on the other hand, are universal.
Let’s start off with the definition of a decision:
Wikipedia puts it this way: A decision is the selection between possible actions, while a choice is the selection between two or more objects.
Decision making can be regarded as the mental (or cognitive) process resulting in the selection of a course of action among several alternative scenarios. Every decision-making process produces a final choice. The output can be an action or an opinion of a choice.
When God created man, He wanted man to be like Him: able to think for himself and to make decisions based on his own free will. Once God created Eve, man’s love went from agape love, or love of God, to love of a fellow human being. This caused a flood of other emotions as well, emotions that were more complex and somehow more indefinable than before. To comprehend how this change has affected us, we must take a step back and remember that the Soul is made of three parts—intellect, emotions, and will—and that each part must be understood in and of itself. For, as they say, to understand our present and future, we must go back and understand our beginning. Exploring how we think and use our imagination to build images that help us understand right from wrong.
Edward J. Lee’s self-help guidebook will give you the tools needed to control your thoughts and actions to consistently choose the right path. Exploring the three components of the soul in detail, it discusses how our emotions have the ability to alter the perceptions of real events and how, with a detailed listing of emotions and definitions of each, they can be manipulated to produce positive results. Once done, emotions must then be reintegrated back with the intellect and will, thus ensuring the proper decision that will put you and your actions on the path with the will of God. The first step in reshaping yourself into a better person, Edward J. Lee’s debut is a fascinating and fundamentally sound use of scripture to provide grounding in the nature of the soul and how it best serves Him and us.
Straightforward and accessible, it is as simple as it is profound, forever altering the way you look at yourself and your relationship with God. Illuminating what you need to achieve a new and improved perspective, The Soul of Man helps you understand why you’ve been doing the things you’ve been doing and provides you the tools you need to change that cycle starting today.
