I've been thinking a lot and reading a lot about these lately. I've come to this conclusion. If you can make all four of these meet, something great could happen. If I have anything wrong or if anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated.
Body – This is the human body, where everyone fails. Sexual urges, cussing, gossip, lies, etc. come from here. You can master this, but it is quite difficult. However, being perfect over a lifetime seems highly improbable due to the child’s natural path towards fallacy.
Mind – This is pretty self explanatory, but is more than just the brain. I think a lot of philosophers have good descriptions of this, and of course Siddhartha Gautama. The mind gets its information from the “heart self,” but its desire comes from the “body self”. Many also call this the ego.
Heart – This is where the interconnectedness of the world comes into play. You love others precisely because you love yourself. However, it is important to remember that it is the whole Universe and not only one person or a small group of people that deserves your love.
Spirit – This is actually the divine spark of God, Presence, the Universe, Source, Allah, Yahweh, etc. It is perfect. However, it can’t be controlled, only tapped into. The “Spirit self” speaks directly to the heart, so it is very important to build up your “heart self.”
Namaste
I would like to share this image with you Nick, I created it some years back, actually had a few T'shirts made and have given most of them away. Not sure if anyone wears them, I still do :)
Spot the spark of life ..................................
That was beautifully said, Nick.
I'm not sure quite where this fits in, but I think I've found a fifth aspect, which is the imagination. This is a place where you can go to let your dreams be fulfilled. Some may call it visualization, but I feel that imagination actually is more important. When you visualize, you are attached to a specific outcome. When you imagine, it is for fun. Whether it is true or not doesn't matter. What matters is the vibration or energy that you send out.
Bless You All and Thank You for You Input

Imagining is the the first step of creating into form.
I see human experience as multidimensional. There are more than just 4 or 5 aspects of Human Embodiement.
Maslow's Hierachy of Needs including Self-Actualization is a place to begin truly investigating what it is to be a Soul Embodied. Then consider an overlay of the Chakra System and the sub chakras followed by Universal Principles of Compassionate Communication. Then, overlay over that the Flower of Life and all form that contains within that continuously expanding form.
Overlay all of this with Unity Consciousness (the aspects of Love).

I bless you with Love.
