The comprehensive guide to people

I have been privileged to study the Tanya, a soul map.

There are of-course numerous ways, angels, to discern something – for a bacteriologist, the human body is home to 100,000,000,000,000, which one can study FOREVER!

We are going to look at the specific lens, namely, good vs. evil.

Let’s begin with good – ultimately, a human being is a composite of three distinct souls/drives.

The first is what is called the animal-life-force – this force gives rise to the desire to live and similar to all animals, has certain hardwired instincts; for example, the desire for pleasure and fear of pain – what is important to remember, is each soul’s desires are exclusive of the others – so if we have an animal-life-force, then just like an animal, it’s desires can dominate  completely (as we see, someone who abandons their family, steals etc. for drugs.)

The second soul, is the Divine spirit, this we will soon discus.

The third soul, is the rational intelligence – this is housed in the prefrontal lobes – we are the only specie that contains a prefrontal lobe – whereas all other species, exclusively are instinctual driven, with no ability to change (except based on instinctual pain or reward/pleasure.)

Now this is very very important to understand – in other words, we are three people in one physical body!

So if we can express our Divine spirit, we will be exactly as God would be, namely, overlooking people’s faults and unconditionally loving – we arrive at this level by subjugating our minds and heart to fulfill the Divine will.

Most of us though, will fall into another dimension, this is a certain schizophrenia, between sometimes being kind, sometimes being selfish.

But sadly, there is a most undesirable state.

This is the state of anger.
