The Inner Man

[Dedicated Mind]

I got most of this diagram from Richard Smoley.

Spirit - love, joy, peace, meekness, kindness, patience, etc...

Soul - 3 parts

- Intellect - knowledge

- Ego - self conscious

- Carnal mind - lust, envy, pride, anger, etc...

Body - 5 senses


If God is Spirit, is that just pure, positive emotion? Is the logos what corresponds to our soul, the intellect and self conscience? What part of God did the voice from heaven come from? Was it the logos?

What about the inner woman?

Without - defined as not accompanied by or having the use of. I suppose that pretty much sums it up the predicament we men would find ourselves in, huh?

Without a companion to listen to our many foibles; complaints against just about every thing imaginable; and a unimaginable host of other things too numerous to mention...

Without a housekeeper to keep us well fed with healthy food; clean clothing; well-behaved children; and another list which time nor space permits me to enumerate at this sitting...

Without an astute money management advisor....

Without a warm body to snuggle up against on a cold winter night....

Ah, yes, we men would truly be without many things (and much, much more than I've noted here) if it should ever be that we find ourselves without a woman; an help meet! I, for one, am so thankful that God realized that and provided me with one.... she is worth more than all that I could ever imagine, and I love her so very much!

Oops! We done went and highjacked another thread :foottap

It's good to hear a man talk about how good his wife is to him.

Amen! I have heard way too many talk about how bad their wives are, and it is nice to hear someone that can rise and call her blessed.

is "heart" synonymous with "soul"?

Where do thoughts come from? Do they come from the collective unconscious of jung? he says mind is creative and thoughts are substance.

The inner man consists of everything about us that is immaterial, the spirit and soul.

But not all things immaterial are spiritual. There is the SOULISH distinction from the SPIRITUAL as well.

Well for one we would not have The Christ, can anyone fathom how God could have come to redeem the world in a physical body without a woman?

As for a wife, the proverbs state "he that findeth a wife findeth a good thing"
It should be noted the word for "good" here in the Hebrew is the same word used in the creation, "and God saw that it was good".

Something else can be derived from this verse, while there are females everywhere to find a woman (wife) means that one is special. I too thank God for the wife of my youth, I found her when I wa 18, married 34 years now, she has been my lover, confedent, the one that I fought with, raised 4 children with, and I could go on but suffice it to say God could not have picked a better woman for me.

Wow-while I have known a few marriages in the range of 50 years, from what I'll term the previous generation, I note that marriages in the 20-40 year range are pretty tough to find. Congrats!
Happy New Year!
