How many manfesting states are there body mind and soul or body mind spirit and soul?
Let us be scientific
What is soul? The single entity which is beyond space and time is the soul. Beyond space and time does not mean that it is going beyond the space. And it is before the time starts. Beyond space actually means it is everywhere and beyond time means it is changeless. Time is nothing but change. This entity is energetic and having intelligence within. Creation comes out of this as this soul starts thinking. Thinking brings the mind in the scene. Now mind has come in. The thoughts are nothing but some vibrations which start extending out. 'Out' brings space and 'vibration' brings time. The entity now seems lost its changeless and omniscient state. It is only apparent. It has its own features of changeless state and omnipotence within. Here comes one good phenomenon that the very vibration wants to get damped and vanish the space and time so relatively formed. Just resembling Newton's third law that action gets a reaction and the mind gets more concentrated and intensity of the field gets built up. If the intensity attains a certain level that is located as spirit. Then this spirit state gets modified into material form and sub elementary particles come out and other elementary particles, thereby atoms and then birth of star and evolution goes on and life starts in water and again evolution continues till we get this highly evolved human nervous system. So body comes finally.
The above said is just a gist These states can be proved scientifically using the very reliable tool, that is, mathematics. Science wants to bring out the happenings with 'how' and 'why'. Art is doing the practise necessary to unfold the secrets of the whole creation. Of course our ancestors have already done these practices in different places and at different times and enjoyed the underlying truth. Now let us make a reasonable attempt to come out with reliable answers with all scientific evidences.
Let us join together.
