Exploring The Mind By Makado Vespers
Exploring The Mind is a book that was written by Makado Vespers. The scripture that inspired this book is Genesis 2:7 where God breathed His Spirit into man, and man became a living soul. Without the spirit, man lay lifeless on the ground. The exact moment the spirit entered; man became a living soul. It’s the same thing that happens at death, when the spirit leaves, the body becomes lifeless and decays. That shows that it's the spirit that plays the most vital role.
Let’s accurately capture the equation we get from Genesis 2:7. God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul. That means its; body + spirit = soul. That means that the soul is a combination of the body and the spirit. One cannot exist without the other, their separation leads to death of the physical body.
This book aimed to dissect the soul and understand it’s components. It explored how the body and the spirit are connected. We saw that it’s the spirit that does much of the work. The spirit, since it’s unphysical by nature, processes all unphysical things like will, memory and emotions. It’s the spirit that feels.
This book explained in detailed what the mind is and how it’s the spirit doing all the work that we often mistake for the mind. The mind is characterized by thoughts, emotions, perceptions, memories and consciousness. The mind is not a physical object, but rather a product of the brain’s activity. The brain is made up of neurones, cells, water, proteins, fats and blood vessels. In this book, we saw how it’s difficulty for us to say that the brain is the organ which carries out all mind processes. This led us to realise the role our spirits play.
This whole discussion was started by God who said that let us make men after our own likeness. God is a Spirit, that means we are spirits too if we are made in His image. To help us connect with the physical world, he gave us the body. The brain is part of that body too, but man is spirit. Our Father is a Spirit, so are we too. Those who are led by the spirit are the sons of God.
