The human being is made up of three distinct parts, each with a separate body. Each of us has a physical body, an essence that animates that body, and a personality.
When we are born, these three independent bodies unite and remain together for the duration of our lives; they separate at the moment of our death. Even if forced to cohabit with the others, each remains distinct, with its own impulses, needs, and desires. Each is sensitive to different stimuli and is subject to different constraints.
As long as we navigate life without understanding that human psychology is group psychology, we always address the needs of one body at the expense of the other two. In this way we find ourselves like a farmer with fertile seeds but arid soil, incapable of bearing fruit.
To understand who we are, we must understand the characteristics of our physical body, vital Essence, and personality. The awareness, combined with the understanding, that these three bodies are nothing but the external vehicles of our Divine core, motivates every man, or woman, to cultivate and realize his or her own spiritual Purpose, the true Reality of Being.
