The Location Of The Soul Inside The Body
The soul has the following basic functions to perform:
• to give life to the body and to maintain life inside it,
• to express and experience its role through the body, and
• to receive the rewards or fruits of past actions performed in previous births, through the body.
These
functions are controlled and monitored by the soul via the nervous and
hormonal systems from a particular point in the area of the brain which
contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands. This
region is known as the seat of the soul, or the third eye. The
connection between the physical (body) and the non-physical (soul) is by
the medium of thought energy. Many religions and philosophies place
great importance on the third eye, or eye of the mind. When viewed from
the front, this region appears to be between and slightly above the line
of the eyebrows. It's for this reason that Hindus use a tilak, a
dot in red or sandalwood paste in the middle of the forehead.
Christians also make the sign of the cross in this region. Even when one
makes a mistake or expresses tiredness it's to this region that we put
the hands in the gestures of self-dismay or exhaustion. After all the
soul subconsciously knows that it makes the mistakes and not the body.
When people are concentrating deeply in thought it is this area of the
forehead where creases or lines are formed on the skin.
