Spiritual concepts
Soul
The combined functions of the Conscious and the Subconscious, but excluding all autonomic functions. The Soul is more correctly called the Mortal soul, to distinguish it from our Immortal soul which is the Higher spirit. The functions of the Mortal soul are shown below separated into the ‘right brain’ activities [shown on the right] and the ‘left brain’ activities [shown on the left]
