Immortality Of The Human Soul

[taijasi]

Our vital soul energizes the body of flesh and blood. The astral soul is the emotional self, with a vehicle of its own ... and we share these experiences with the animals, even with the trees. Aristotle taught that we are also in possession of a Rational Soul (which itself uses a mental body, accordingly). Despite our mind or thought-stream often bearing the stamp or impress of an individual identity, the wise know that this is very much just that. Like castles built of sand, such notions of ourselves slip back into the Sea, eventually.

But there is a Divine Soul, even what is called an Oversoul, and we are each - and all - an individual incarnation of the former, while neither separated from, nor entirely yet One with the latter. Nor is the Oversoul an apt description of our true Self.

Lumpino is correct, describing this Monadic Spark as the source or ground of our Being, together with the Spiritual Triad (Will, Love-Wisdom and Active Intellect) Whose Consciousness is the Undying Root producing occasional shoots, or new leaves within the Book of Life, for us surface-dwellers. Most of the picture, of course, is quite `underground.'

This over soul your talking about I am curious as to it being the crystal soul spirit and body stuff I have been talking about . It is the unbreakable unchangable aspect. That spirit element is actually all of the elements as one source. The place where all the elements come from. Its higher than water or fire because its the combination of all the elements at the source level.

I don't know that system, as I believe there are five elements we can speak about with some significance, two further which are altogether beyond human experience. The physical plane (and bodies) will correspond with the earthly element, as is obvious. The astral plane with water, again as quite familiar in symbolism ... Jesus walked on the water, demonstrating control of the emotional body, etc.

On the plane of the mind the corresponding element is sometimes given as air, sometimes fire. Usually the association is with the latter, as the Buddhic plane has correlations with the element air. Ether will then correspond to Nirvana, or Atma, although the term `spirit' is sometimes used instead of ether, since modern science has barely begun to discover and explore the reality of the subtle physical ethers, which they presently know of as plasma.

Crystal, in the sense of lucidity, may be correlated with Higher Mind (otherwise called the `Fiery vehicle' in some teachings, also the `Temple of Solomon' in the esoteric sense, the first of the human vehicles which does not perish with each new incarnation). That's how I'd characterize things ...

This source element includes the fifth element in the combination of the one source element. It resembles a shiney crystal element simular to platinum or a snowflake that sparkles in the sunlight

You cant get any higher than this element. The body soul and spirit union of this element would make you what I call a crystal being. There is no higher attainment. Of course with your opposite its complete.
