Mental Health and the SoulThe basic premise of this book is that each human being on this planet shares their existence with a spiritual entity which lives with us. This entity lives either inside our body in the area of our heart or it surrounds us at all times. The real reason for our being on this planet is to help this entity heal from past damage and to grow in strength so it can eventually move up the "spiritual hierarchy". This entity is our soul, the essence and total compilation of who and what we are. The soul carries with it all of the information gathered during each experience we have throughout each incarnation of our total existence. We reincarnate many times to provide opportunities for our soul to heal the damage done to it in the past and to grow in strength. This book provides the rational for this belief and the directions for ways to make the process of living in this incarnation easier so our soul has a chance to heal and grow while we carry on a fulfilling physical life. The soul is dependent on the cooperation of the human mind and body so it can grow and move along a path planned before this current incarnation. This book shows how and why we experience varying degrees of mental distress and how to understand how the mind can work cooperatively with the soul so there is a resulting growth in mental and spiritual well-being. |
