Occultation of the Soul

A Brief Primer to the Natureof3

Three is the basis for all things spiritual, all things natural and all things of the mind. Three points define a plane. Freud has his three ego id and self. Religion has the trinity and physics is hung up on connecting quantum theory with Relativity by some all encompassing new discovery that is within and contains the other two making a trinity of yet another sort. This is not the answer to everything but it does a lot to free the mind by encompassing already familiar terms and limits set up by previous systems some dating back five thousand years. I call it the Natureof3.

A few obstacles of the mind must be knocked down as we go. The first is the unconscious shackles locked onto our minds and bodies. Everywhere you turn, it seems someone is expounding the powers of the unlimited nature of our minds. But what does that mean anyway? Not going in to that right now. Just need to point out that this is a classic case of getting ahead of yourself. Few recognize what comes before seeing the limitlessness of the mind, reason being we are bound to a limited body. One that ages, breaks down then dies. We tend to connect our mind to that fragile shell because it’s extremely hard not to do so. Consider this—when the body dies the consciousness within ceases to be as far as we can tell. Sadly, until that moment comes we fail to see that they never were connected in the first place.

Consciousness does not die. It is an aspect of reality that cannot be explained but can be described.

When uranium breaks down it does so whenever it feels like it. Meaning we as brilliant human beings can’t predict what atom will do what and when it will do it. The reason for this is that the atoms choose to do something then do it. The act of choosing is an act of consciousness. This aspect of reality is always present and no different from our understanding of our own consciousness at a basic level. Therefore, I argue that consciousness does not die when the body dies it is merely there when it happens.

That is the first aspect of the naturof3. There is an all encompassing force that runs within and throughout us in our everyday experience.

The next part is our inner consciousness. This is similar to what Freud called the self but slightly different. This is the decision maker of the three. It looks out for its own interests but has to keep in mind the overall wellbeing of the whole. This part changes over time. It grows as we do and sometimes grows more than we want. The shape of our bodies reflect this. If you have a spare tire or a wide rear, you may have an overweight mind. This is why diets don’t work. They tend to address the body part from the outside and not take into consideration the overweight slob running the show behind the scenes.

The third part of the natureof3 is a secondary consciousness that controls our ability to shape the world around us. This part holds our values, beliefs and desires. It feeds our consciousness. The whole ensemble can be likened to a vast digestive system. The conscious mind being the muscles the secondary consciousness being the stomach and the all encompassing part similar to the mouth skin and lungs. It gathers and connects us with the rest of the world.

The occultation of the soul is the blind spot in our minds where we lose sight of what we started out as when we were children. Sounds odd I suppose but it seems to work like this. We have a core being that never changes. What does change is the things we add take away or ignore. A strange way to look at it is like this. Take a moment and think how different your life would be if you were the only person on earth and were the only person that had ever been on earth? Would that change your desires? Would it change what you eat? What you wear? If you don’t think it would then you didn’t think hard enough.

Try it again as a meditation when you wake up tomorrow instead of worrying about whether you’re going to be late or if the coffee’s ready yet. There’s no such thing as anything but you.

It may sound selfish but you can’t care for anyone else until you can get out of your own way. That’s a hard lesson I spent many many years learning.
