What are we really made of? Are we just a body with a mind — or something far more layered?

The truth is: a human being is made up of three essential elements — the body, the mind, and the soul. These three form the core of our existence, yet we have only explored the mind and the body.

The BODY

We’ve all grown up studying the body. Through subjects like biology, physical education, health science, and even sports training, we’ve learned how the body functions, how it grows, what keeps it fit, and how to treat it when something goes wrong.

From the skeletal system to the muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems — we’ve been made to believe that if we understand the body, we understand life.

The MIND

Then there’s the mind — a subject that’s found growing recognition over the years. Disciplines like psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and even literature and sociology offer insight into the workings of human thought, emotion, and behavior.

We analyze mental health, behavior patterns, personality types, and brain chemistry. We’re told that if we can master our thoughts, we can master our reality.
