• Lecture focuses on the concept of the three-part man as described in the Bible.

Key Biblical Passages

• Genesis 2:7
  • God formed man from the dust of the ground: Body
  • Breathed into his nostrils the breath (Spirit) of life
  • Man became a living Soul
• Psalm 146:4
  • Breath (Spirit) leaves, body returns to Earth
  • Thoughts (Soul) perish
• 1 Thessalonians 5:23
  • Paul prays for the sanctification of spirit, soul, and body

Key Concepts

• Spirit, Soul, and Body
  • Spirit: Breath of God
  • Soul: Mind, thoughts
  • Body: Physical form
  • Without the spirit, the body is dead. The union of spirit and body creates the soul (mind).

Creation vs Formation

• Creation: Refers to the essence, the part of you that God created.
• Formation: Refers to the physical form.
• Example: Jeremiah 1
  • God knew Jeremiah before he was formed in the womb.
  • Jeremiah had a mission from God that relates to his essence, not his formed self.

Centers of Consciousness

• Body: World-conscious
  • Five senses connect you to the physical world.
• Soul: Self-conscious
  • Mind has two parts: conscious and subconscious.
  • Conscious Mind: Thinks conscious thoughts, interacts with others.
  • Subconscious Mind: Thought storage system.
    • Stores all experiences, teachings, and environments.
    • Memory is the recall of stored thoughts, not the storage itself.
    • People don't have bad memories; they have poor recall methods.

Illustrations and Examples

• Example of phone number recall:
  • Requires accessing the subconscious storage system to retrieve information.
  • Emphasizes the power of the subconscious mind and its role in storing all past experiences and information.
