Even as a Traditionalist Catholic, not to be confused with Fundamentalist Christian, I think Mind, Soul and Spirit, not to mention other potential elements might go their own ways after death Perhaps the Mind dies with the brain While Soul faces judgement And the Spirit reincarnates or rests or roams for a time Maybe other elements exist too Ancestral Memory? Ancestral Thoughts, Voices or Emotions? I don't believe every Spirit is either an Angel or a Demon Maybe Faeries, Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Dragons are capable of sharing space with a Soul in a Body and go elsewhere after death

I have had...too many concussions in my life, and have learned to trust my brain to recall things that my conscious mind cannot. In one case it was when I was in a wreck and couldn't remember anything, including my own name. But when the cop asked if there was someone who could be called I opened my mouth and let a phone number spill out - my parents, as it turned out. Another time I spent more than half a semester on automatic pilot after a concussion. I don't remember what we covered in class during that time but I made straight 'A's. And then there was the time I went for an extended period without sleep (my client was dying) and had to take a test. I could not think of anything and the professor was very unempressed, but i wrote down whatever spilled out the end of my pen...and made the highest score in the class. So basically I have come to the conclusion that my brain is a separate entity from my mind and we share a body and work together.

@Moonsong227 9 месяцев назад

I've learned to do similar, but with my body's instincts for my surroundings, physics etc. I couldn't tell you about the math behind some physics thing, but I could intuit or feel it out and understand it perfectly, just in the way that we understand feelings or vertigo rather than math and words. Sometimes I even use this bodily awareness to stretch a muscle in just the right way that it was craving and bothering me for. I'm fairly certain there are words for these senses, proprioception isn't right but is close.

@TheNeighborhoodZenPriest 2 года назад

That is quite an interesting view, thank you for the video. And it is quite similar to our general view in Buddhism of what makes up a Sentient being, namely; forms, sensations, perceptions, mental activities and minds. These categories are then of course divided into several sub-categories. This is one of many reasons as to why I believe that Buddhists and Pagans/Heathens can learn a lot from one another, and why I personally keep one foot in this community. That is, except for a general interest in my own cultural heritage and history as a Swede of course.

The description of the parts of the soul changing or moving on after death was very beautiful. And yes, it does change my perspective on the soul which was rooted in very Christian/Abrahamic societal norms. I like this better, its beautiful and the parts that move on or go to familial ties weave us into something greater after death.

@gregcampwriter 2 года назад

The Slavic view shows up in stories about magic that have wizards taking care not to allow any part of themselves--hair, drops of blood, etc.--to be acquired by enemies. The goblins in Discworld follow the practice strictly by keeping jars in which they store their hair clippings, extracted ear wax, and so forth.

@alexcypher4794 2 года назад

Still thinking about Aristotle's objection to the concept of a multi-part soul. Is it strictly necessary that all the parts of the soul need a unitary cord between them? Is the integrity of a multi-part soul not formed of the parts themselves? The body is composed of multiples, of which the the removal of even one can potentially result in your death. But is this not suggestive of an integrity that emerges from the multiplicity of parts instead of the authority of one?

@painlord2k 2 года назад

Aristotle's objection implies there must be something else to keep the part of soul together like a robe keeping the bundle together. People are limited in their reasoning by their experiences and propensities and sometimes good at something but prevent them from advancing on other fronts. What if the various parts of the soul are just attracted to each other like magnets and when they are put together in the proper way, they just stay connected until a part fades and the rest crumbles as a consequence.

@TheWittenburger 2 года назад

This is really interesting. The idea that the body is, in fact, still part of one's higher self, definitely leans towards a more animistic worldview, where there is less separation, if at all, between the physical and non-physical world, and it also makes more sense, since the body and mind do affect one another.

This reminds me of a story called "Sammle's ghost" in a collection of British Folktales, by Katherine Briggs, I had as a teenager (British Folktales. Pantheon Books, New York. 1977). A young man dies in a fire, and his body is turned completely to ash, and when he discovers that he's a ghost, and asks other ghosts what he should do next, he's told to go see King Worm. And said King worm tells him that he cannot advance to Heaven until his body has been completely consumed by the worms. So he has to and gather up every last bit of ash scattered by the wind, and bring it to the "King." When he finally succeeds in that, the worm roots through all the ashes, and says: "Nope. There's an arm missing." "Well, I had it amputated when I was a child." "Well then, you have to go find it again." And finally, once that's recovered and returned, the worm discovers there's a fingernail missing -- it dropped off in life, and never grew back. And so poor Ghost!Sammle is made to wander the world forever until that last fingernail is found. It seems to me that this is a mashup of Heathen believes with the Christian Baggage idea that only "Uncorrupted" souls can get into Heaven

@Perceval777 2 года назад

A very enlightening video! The ancient Egyptians and Chinese had a very similar concept of multiple souls. The Chinese, for instance, believed in nine different souls residing within man. Ka and Ba were the two main souls for the Egyptians. Even Buddhism has something similar - the so-called dharmas that compose the mind and consciousness, they either disappear, rearrange, or transform themselves after death (and some are reborn, because Buddhism believes in rebirth). I know these are different traditions, but it's very interesting to see how civilizations from around the world came to somewhat similar conclusions. The Christian concept of the soul, on the other hand, not only is influenced by the Judaic tradition, but also by Neoplatonism to a great extent. Neoplatonists held that there is an opposition between material body and the non-material one soul.

@zelenisok 2 года назад

In Catholic theology there's the body and the soul, but that unitary soul actually has various 'parts'. They actually accept the Aristotelian view that we have three souls: 1 the vegetative soul - which also animals and plants have, which allows reproduction, growth and nutrition; 2 the sensitive souls - which animals also have, which is about sense perceptions and impulses, and 3 the rational soul, which has the intellect and will, angels have such a soul also, as does God, that is they are such souls.

@morbier4863 Год назад

In catholic theology there is distinction on 3 soul/person parts not only on aristotelian axis: vegetative, sensitive, rational soul, but also there was another very popular view in early church (for example justin the martyr), later abandoned in mainstream teaching due to fear of it beeing misconstrued and misused by heretics (but not forgotten and still explored trough history, for example by contemporary theologian henri de lubac), based on interpretation of bible (mainly pauls letters). This view was of a person being composite of body-soul-spirit (bios/soma/sarx-psyche-pneuma). Most theologians holding this view had different definition of soul in this tripartite relation (soul as psyche) and (rational) soul being nondividable unity (soul as anima) and also held differing opinions of relationships between body-soul-spirit (most with spirit supremacy as both animating principle and element enableing direct contact with the divine and transformation by holy spirit).

There's much thought that the Fylgja may be passed down from generation to generation but at the animal Fylgja is new and individual for each person.

I want to change that, so I'm just giving out the sources, and I've heard a bit about how I'm frustrating those people by doing that. And honestly, good

I’m a Catholic who is trying to learn about Norse Paganism in order to find bridges between me and my boyfriend’s beliefs. The aspect of part of soul being “the form of the body” is very similar to my belief; though not differentiated as just a “part” of the soul but simply part of the singular soul’s nature as a whole. All these “parts” travel as one unit rather than separately. Your videos have been helpful in finding things to talk about. Me and my bf enjoy peaceful discussions about our religious differences which has been refreshing.

@BrianimeniaK Год назад

That’s also why catholics generally believe that the physical and the spiritual are very much intertwined and can effect each other. Many Christians take a “body bad, soul good” approach which isn’t biblical and leads to very puritan ideas. Anyways, I digress.

In modern Swedish, "lik" still means "corpse" and "minne" still means "memory", so it's interesting to think about how old those words are. Also, in modern Swedish "ond" means "evil", but I'm guessing there's less of an etymological connection there.

Following my trend here - commenting on videos I enjoyed far too late. This gives much food for thought. I have taken a more nomadic approach to exploring my spirituality. I listen, I observe, I consider, and then I follow the lead. My music and love for stories and brought me here to your videos as a spiritual walker and…as a nerdy D&D GM looking for story content. I cannot say that I agree with this complex of a soul’s breakdown of components. The key points I do agree with are “the force of life holds us together” and “the extent of the soul goes beyond what we can fathom.” Life is a source of energy, and just as the nature of energy does it adapts to what is around it and inspires change. So I can agree with the idea that wherever we go we are imprinting a part of our soul to be left behind. There is a deeper connection that we can understand. But sometimes we can put ourselves in a box if we try to REASON it. Humanity is still, to this day, making new discoveries and searching for a label to put on it. How tragic would it be if we lost a part of ourselves because it was misplaced, or fell out of the box entirely? I think the open minded theory behind this is valuable. And it is inspirational. A breath of fresh air in an otherwise polluted world.

Do you beleve we have a shared element of soul, a community soul if you will, that's more encompassing than just the family, but our community at large? Do we have yet another element of soul that's communally shared with all life? Do we have yet even still another element of soul that's communally shared with all things and all life? (ie something similar to the Hindu Brahman or the Lakota Sioux Great Spirit) This gets into a territory that can be considered a god. So that begs the question: If you believe in an element of soul that's shared with all things with or without life, do you view that element as a god?

It makes me think of how Jeremy Naydler described the ancient Egyptians in his book, Temple of the Cosmos: The Ancient Egyptian Experience of the Sacred, in which he describes the idea that in ancient times people didn't have as firm a division between the inner psychic world and the external world. That what we would think of as strictly internal, mental processes and actions were in some sense shared in a public mental space. Where things we'd think of as external to us would take on an internal, psychological character. how the Egyptians viewed that every part of the body had its own psychic force, almost like a soul of its own. That the Egyptian idea of the afterlife was essentially that when the breath of life leaves the body, the soul sort of breaks apart, and the afterlife journey is to re-unify the life-force/motive force/"Double" with the personality (the Ka and the Ba) so that the multiple-part soul somehow coalesces into a more unified entity (the akh) amongst the righteous dead. It's interesting to me that it seems so common across ancient cultures, this idea of a multi-part soul bound together by the life-breath that breaks apart in some fashion upon dying. From the Norse to the Greeks and Romans to the Egyptians. I feel there must be some sort of truth underlying all this.

The Egyptians had a multi part soul. I think it was a three part. I can't remember exactly. To me the mind is the soul version of the brain. I've always thought that since I was little.

The pagan/Heathen concept of the soul makes so much more sense to me. It makes animism make so much more sense. It makes different places having different “energy” make so much more sense. It makes the paranormal experiences I and so many others have had make so much more sense. The connection feel to some places vs others make so much more sense. It just makes so much more sense. We don’t go to just one place when we die, we go to/ can go to many. Including staying here on Midgard.

Your puns ragnorok! XD All jokes aside, I believe the mind is not physical simply because it can't be touched, it's not solid, it's like the air we breathe if so to say. Our thoughts cannot be seen, cannot be felt, has no form and cannot be touched. And I believe the mind rests within the soul, and the soul rests within the spirit. There are 3 parts I believe. The conscious, the subconcious and the superconscious, all 3 parts making up the soul that rests within the spirit (which is the soul's vessel or vehicle). Anyway I found this heathen concept of the soul very interesting, and similar to native american, certain African tribes' concept of the soul.

This was awesome. I really like the idea that what you are as a living person is something that does change when you pass. It seems to fit with the imagery of snakes in the Edda (where they shed their skin). Thank you for making this.
