We all sometimes wonder why some people behave like "animals". We even wonder where our own rages and wild feelings of chaos originate. Although we might find them unusual as they can conflict with our values, indeed, animalistic behavior is as much a part of us as our skin. While
skin is there to protect our inner organs and vessels,
animalistic behavior is there to protect
existence of
physical being---an outer skin of sorts.The physical realm of our being only has one objective: survival. In its rawest form,
body must remain intact and it will do so at any risk to its surroundings. Beat up
neighbor. Get food. Kick
dog. Procreate. Survive at all costs! It is never satisfied with anything. When
half-full glass is filled, it wants a bigger glass.
Perhaps
Universe realized that it erred up by putting out an organism that would go so far as to kill and destroy just to get food. Imagine what would happen at fast food joints at lunch time! So, to balance
strength and instincts of
physical,
Universe developed
creative intellect of
soul. The souler being is easily satisfied and is bent on happiness, living, and enjoying. Or, was this blatant survival mode of
physical creation intended to behave as such to protectively house its souler component? Which one came first?
I know this sounds like
old "chicken and
egg", but indeed, it is a valid question to ponder. However, consider
variations to
ideas of
physical and souler interaction and existence. If indeed
body came first, then
soul is instantiated simply to control
instincts of
physical. But, if
soul came first, then each body is created solely for an individual soul to live, grow, and learn in this physical Universe. What a wonderful combination! A calm, cool, and collected soul to manage an out of control physical host. This means that
two are together for a reason, but are separate.
In today's world, by applying some of these thoughts, indeed, it seems that we tend to focus more on
physical because
thirst for physical fulfillment is unquenchable. However, while obtaining satisfaction for
soul is actually simple, we've been taught that "never
two shall meet" as our society readily concedes to
physical and rarely accepts
virtual, conceptual, non-physical realm of
souler.
