Do-do-dominating

The unconscious, something that is constantly present but not actively thought (which unfamiliar self we may try to escape, deny, ridicule, which we may be scared of or belittle just as an unimportant, something we don’t have time to explore or don’t know how to) is a big part of us. Existing unconscious, evolving subconscious, dream world, soul of humanity and how to describe it, what it does and makes us do, makes of us, what it makes of us when we are aware of our lack of understanding all, inability to see all and fully see ourselves, how difficult it is. Unconscious is something to be sensed, be puzzled by, talked about and not know it completely never. There is no end to it when you begin. Something in our minds we actively use but do not control, know much about, acknowledge, appreciate and connect with as an essential part of ourselves connecting us to nature and the spiritual. Spirit of ours, intuition, knowledge, irrational maybe but linked to the real world, a guide, emotional. The effect unconscious has on us is tremendous despite do we know about its existence or not. We have a relationship to it, it is part of our psychology, psyche, growing, humanity and animal side, an instinct. Instinct, feeling, unconscious mind is intriguing as we do not know it. It is a puzzle and makes us puzzles as well, depth of ours what is there to be found. It is a finding, a treasure and means to connect with the unconscious are somewhat hazy, poorly tolerated just as is talk about the unconscious something hard to handle and understand, cope with. It is unbelievable, irregular, intolerable, irritatingly important, shameful and private.

What do I know of soul and what do I need to know of soul.

I make a claim: It is somehow a self-evident reality that there is a soul in every living and thinking thing, so there is a conscious mind in a body, it is consciousness and unconsciousness and ability to evolve and learn. But what is the thought and the idea of a being? To live without reason bound to one’s form without power to change one’s situation? If every living thing has the soul thinking and rational making are not necessary. Does soul make importance and worth as such? I ask because life as such does not make value, not even human life in the world today. Inequality prevails. We do not know whether soul lives on after death, but we like the idea for it to wonder and find another body to live in or with for soul to inhabit a place after the body is gone. Strange maybe the idea of soul doing something consciously. Soul to have a meaning as a soul. Is it spirit or soul or just life suddenly born in whatever form and obeying life’s circle and laws? Circle of visible bodies with spirits, wandering souls with us. For somebody to have soul means depth in person, insight in life and will to explore. A certain openness towards life, its mess and mystery. Clarity and fearlessness to face life, to make harmony out of disharmony, ability to express personality and originality. Soul is personal view, intellect and experience shared. Soul is mystery which is its beauty. We do not know. Something we wish to find out but do not completely never will. I like the idea that soul is simply to have a life therefore every living thing has the soul.
Given the idea that soul is the distinguishing mark of all living things, including plants, the Greek notion of soul is, as we have seen already, broader than our concept of mind. For it is at least conceivable, and probably true as a matter of fact, that there are living (hence ensouled) organisms without minds, without, that is to say, desire and cognition by sense or intellect. (Plato appears to think that plants do have minds in this sense, because he takes them to exhibit desire and sense-perception (Timaeus 77b), but that is presumably supposed to be a matter of empirical fact or inference, rather than simply a consequence of the fact that plants have souls.)” Do not whip a puppy as it is a soul of a friend.
