life than matter. As we learn to make decisions based on these spiritual circuits, our souls are quickened to the reality that there is more to our existence than meets the analytical eye. The perception of how we see our lives begin to head in a direction away from its biological and material origins to its spiritual origins, and the focus shifts from having external reality as the center to a more balanced outlook taking into account the reality and importance of the inner life.
As we follow the urges of these early spiritual influences, we are weaned away, more and more, from dependence on material reality. As we make, with increasing frequency, the moral decisions that contributes to our soul's evolution, at a certain point the soul becomes so empowered in quantity and quality that the mind identifies with it fully and begins to delegate authority to it. We start to become transformed, not only outwardly but also inwardly. This is when we start reaching for a higher reality. And as we evolve into higher cosmic levels, we identify with our souls more often throughout the day as opposed to identifying with our body or mind, and when we do this, we respond to our daily challenges by connecting to higher spiritual circuits in addition to the seven circuits. Relatively few humans have achieved this level of empowerment.

Soul Intelligence
True Worship
Soul Philosophy
The mind spirit of intuition gives way to soul intuition: Intuition is a quality that even animals have. But as our soul is empowered, we upgrade from using animal intuition to spiritual intuition by tapping into the cosmic mind and our divine spirit. Animal intuition is self serving, while spiritual intuition is selfless. This ability for quick perception evolves from selfish purposes to the soul's concern with the welfare of the whole.
From the mind spirit of understanding to soul understanding: A dog can understand the command to fetch upon being taught but no amount of teaching can make the canine understand art or music. A human can understand art because of the soul, as understanding evolves from the purely mental level to the soul level. True art is partially material and partially spiritual. The materialistic levels of mind can comprehend only the material components of the artwork but not the spiritual; it takes the spiritual leadings of the spirit as allowed by the soul for the mind to understand and enjoy art, whether it is visual, musical, formal, dramatic, etc. However, just because a person cannot understand a particular art form does not mean that person has a deficient soul. Physical abilities to discern nuances in color in art, differences of timbre, tone and harmony in music and other such mechanical functions must be also present in that person's anatomical makeup for that person to be able to understand that particular art form.
From the mind spirit of courage to soul courage: Courage is often said to be not a lack of fear, but the ability to overcome the fear that we do have. Courage of the flesh is the lowest form of bravery. Mind bravery is higher, but the highest form is uncompromising loyalty to the convictions of profound spiritual realities - bravery of the soul. Courage of the flesh is a struggle against the debilitating affects of fear. But soul bravery is an acceptance of our spiritual convictions. There is no struggle, no clenching of our will, but a relaxation into the rightness of our actions. So our soul does not use the spirit of courage to overcome fear, but rather bypasses fear through spiritual convictions.
From the mind spirit of knowledge to soul knowledge: To know something intellectually can be as simple as just having data in one's bio-computer, the brain. But, how often do we know something and yet cannot access it or cannot apply it? Our brain is a complex instrument and sometimes we cannot immediately withdraw the information which it contains. For instance, we can memorize the words to a speech, a poem or a song, but when we are ready to deliver it under pressure, we forget the words. To know something with our soul is to know it by heart. There is no intellectual process in withdrawing the information when it is contained within our soul. However, we must be relaxed enough so that we are one with the soul in order for the soul to perform, otherwise we are left with the intellect with it's penchant to get flustered under pressure. Also, human knowledge is often derived from recorded works, soul intelligence is first hand and is based on personal experience as well as existential spiritual leadings.
From the mind spirit of counsel to the soul's desire for spiritual relationships: The mind spirit of counsel urges us to get to know our fellow creatures. Our mind leads us all to be with our fellow humans in camaraderie but the soul goes beyond shallow relationships to having relationships with the spirit within all creatures. The soul desires to know more about others than casual appearances and things on the surface. The soul desires contact with the souls of other men and women, to come together as spiritual siblings on the deepest level.
From the mind spirit of worship to the soul's urge to worship: The intellectual urge to find the source of all creation, the cause of causes, leads us to worship. This urge has made humans worship anything from rocks to trees to other humans to anthropomorphic deities and eventually to a concept of the Universal Creator. As we become more and more our souls, we worship the Creator as a reality,
