A spiritual journey
The question of the triad existence of man is perhaps the most controversial subject I have come across in a while.
You have at one time or the other come across the very unclear subjects of the "human soul" or "human spirit", The "Human body" as we know is obviously not mysterious because this is the member of the triad which we interact with everyday. We know it too well to even think about it...
But what exactly is the "soul" or "spirit"?
These are questions that most people have unclear answers or absolutely no answer to because of the fact that these things are not palpable or tangible so people simply tend to avoid such issues totally or follow wrong theories.
A living man has a consciousness that lives forevermore (you all know too well that man is still conscious after death). This consciousness that never dies, dear friends, is the spirit of man.
The body dies and decomposes like that of an animal, since there is not much difference in composition between the two, but the spirit (consciousness) lives forevermore. It is this consciousness that experiences the afterlife and all the events that come with it.
What then is the Soul?
Every living entity is a soul. Now let me break that down: A man's soul is the entirety of his person. That is; his spirit (consciousness) + his body constitutes his SOUL
So you are a SOUL and I am a SOUL. We are all souls made up of a body and a spirit (what I like to call consciousness)
There's no separate soul somewhere and a separate spirit in some other place and then a body here with you.
