There is a trinity that exists within each human being. Several different names have been used to describe this relationship: Father-Son-Holy Spirit; Atma-Buddhi-Manas; Mind-Body-Soul; etc. This connection is best described as the physical, the etheric or astral, and the mental bodies. I simply call them our body, soul, and spirit. They can be related to H2O: body=ice(limited & made of form), soul=liquid water(less limited but still some form), spirit=steam(unlimited & formless). Regardless of the form we are currently experiencing, we always remain as H2O.
BODY --> Our dense body is completely physical. This is the body we see in the mirror and which most try to perfect daily. It is composed of cells and molecules, just like a piece of wood, a plant, or steel. All of the above are equals, according to Divine Law. Every substance we visualize is simply composed of atoms resonating at different frequencies, but we are made of form. Our physical body usually listens to our ego, which is subtle in the physical body and dense in the astral body (meaning the ego is less noticeable to us, but very noticeable to our more-knowing souls). Most people's physical body cares first and foremost for itself. The physical realm is pretty superficial and self explanatory. It's the world as most see it today.
SOUL --> Our astral or etheric body is what connects us to that other world, our "heavenly" world. We dream with our souls. Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be best explained by the soul. They have no physically recognizable characteristics and cannot be targeted under a microscope. Our soul navigates thru good and bad every day in this physical body. It determines and knows our overall path for each physical incarnation. We each choose a personal and universal path that allows for maximum growth at that stage in the continuum of life, but also in congruence with every other soul we have connections with, which is sometimes ALL souls. The process is incredible to think about.
Each soul has a journey and when in the astral realm we are our ALL-knowing selves. Our soul lives in heaven with instant creation (like a lucid dream). However, heaven is described as hell from some people (it's really just a nightmare). This is where we reside after physical death. Heaven, the astral realm, is where our dreams practice before making perfect. We manifest ideas to test their outcomes before they happen. Of course this is only while we're not just playing around and having fun with our imagination (which is still only about 15 minutes at a time during REM). Each person's heaven is dictated by what that person truly believes. This is strongly influenced by the egoic physical body. We often still need to overcome personal desires, selfish actions, and unnecessary pleasures in heaven. Our soul can also be accessed thru meditation, prayer, or with pure love and happiness in everything we do. Most of us can easily relate when listening to music, creating art, walking outside on a beautiful day, or simply by making love. You know you're in this heavenly realm when 2 hours pass and you say "holy shit, that only seemed like 15 minutes!" Hell will naturally be the exact opposite. Jesus wasn't kidding when he told us the goal here is to make the earth as it is in heaven, when everyday is a selfless, desireless, passionate lucid dream.
SPIRIT --> Our spirit is one step beyond the soul. It is our all-knowing, all-loving, highest-self. It is directly connected to the Divine Source. There is no good/evil, no positive/negative in the spiritual realm. There's not even up and down. There just IS, we just BE. This is very important to understand for ultimate growth. Very few human beings have been able to access their spirit from here on earth (only Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi and the like). The spirit keeps the soul in check when it starts having selfish desires in heaven. When the physical body gets completely consumed by the ego, this can lead to a physically minded soul, in which your soul starts searching for it's own individual but only momentary happiness. Our spirit is each our own personal God, it is what the Bible means when it says "you are Gods"(Psalm 82:6, John 10:34). Most people are "praying" to their spirits, while they think they're praying to a different person all together. There is a Divine Source that brings life to ALL, but our spirits are the one's directly following that Divine Plan at all times, which is why "if ye ask, ye shall receive." Our spirits are determined to bring us all back to the source one day. Our Masters spoke of this process. We are each "growing" to it, not simply "going" to it. There will be a day when our spirits take over these physical bodies and the Divine is wholly expressed thru each us.
* 6-6-6 --> Each of these planes (body, soul, & spirit) can be further broken down into 7 different categories we each have to perfect or overcome. This is why the Bible says the sign of an incomplete man is 6-6-6. The physical body has 7 endocrine glands, and the soul & spirit each have 4 limited worlds of form, and 3 unlimited formless worlds. Some of these 7-7-7 "layers" we have already conquered, but many we are still working on, individually and collectively. Again, each plane has its own obstacles, some of which we have no way of comprehending. The path to perfection is a fun, loving, difficult, and everlasting.
**We started with just our spirits which were all knowing and pure love, but they were not individualized. The exact process is obviously undefinable by current scientific standards, but at some point we decided to take over these physical bodies that belonged & still belong to the Earth, so that we could eventually express our true spirits on this physical realm, with a mission to create completely Divine and individualized beings.
***The father is the perfection of ALL of us and everything. The son is what has been created by the father, our physical body. The holy spirit is the father in the son guiding the son back to the source. The holy spirit assists with the complicated illusions distracting and evolving the son to ultimately return home as an individualized essential part of the ALL.
