   Asking myself, or trying to explain to myself, what should be known (revealed) to me regarding my makeup... the following was seen (believed).

   I am a living soul. Living, for as the soul is of the blood, a time for it to die will pass. Born in the image of God, i am spirit, for as the spirit comes from God, so shall it return. When the spirit and soul are no longer bonded together, neither will this one be.

   Two aspects in the same one, and i believe, i am born this way. A third aspect of myself had been born as well. It is composed of two minds. One that serves the soul and the other that serves the spirit. I can say that i have known both, and for times either past/present/or future i can be held by the nature of each, living at times in their dual capacity.

   The duality of this third aspect is driven by the first two. The soul is sanctified within an expression and quality of life, as it is realized and held by the insights that constitutes my mind. While the spirit is sanctified by the heart. Here i am told the difference from right and wrong.

   Most of my life, even as i was introduced to the spirit at a young age, i was inclined to weigh the measures in my mind first, followed by my feelings offered in my heart. This scenario remains even today, although i have found that by learning to weigh the later first, and the way of the spirit, the outcomes are much better.

   One could say there are really two hearts in man, one of the soul and one of the spirit. In the first case the heart of the soul comes from the biological father. This heart is of a sinful nature, as all of mankind have been given over, once for the Jew, then for the Gentile. This signifies that God's acceptance and reconciliation has been stalled for a time. That is to say, there were those few, whom did not transgress the righteousness of the spiritual heart nature. I'm sure as they were taken up, they applied with sound reason the hope for others. Hence the relationship with Father Abraham and Israel which followed.

   In the womb both hearts are sown together as one by God. To be unaware of the two the soul that is man remains denied. The tainted heart of the soul need first to be recognized for what it is. This is a path of knowledge, for with the right contrition and repentance the heart of the soul can be cleansed. When doing so, the heart of the spirit is awakened and reunites with the cleansed heart of the soul. In time, measures of righteousness are served and will be recognized to the point whereby they will escape death and be founded ultimately in paradise.

   The spiritual heart for many remains unknown. They remain in servitude to the bondage that is inherent within the sinful nature of the heart. Many offer that sin in man does not exist. By definition, any separation of consciousness from the spiritual heart in man and the spiritual heart of God is a sinful nature. Just as one may not know the way of the spiritual heart, those who live by the heart of the soul are unaware of what is served. Their acceptance is finding a place that satisfies and comforts where they ultimately stay. Ironically it is the religious whom are duped as weak, when in fact it is the wicked clinging to death that are the weakest.

   It appears that the extremes bound to the heart of the soul or bound to the spiritual heart has repercussions. For those bound to the soul heart, who have exhausted all efforts, and can't find the means to cling any more... can at times go postal. It happens hundreds of times a day around the globe. For others whom have exhausted spiritual efforts, have been found to follow the likes of Jim Jones or David Koresh.

   One wonders regarding moderation. Living in the duality of both hearts it appears that any extreme will soon set one apart. What was Yeshua saying when he offered that to love your relatives more than your Heavenly Father was not to know the Holy Father? I believe, that until one weighs deep enough into their acceptance the insight that reveals this truth has not been realized. Is it extreme for a believer to do so? It appears to the one who travels this path, it seems extreme initially. Yet, the profound insights that follow envelops the recipient with a new calm or peacefulness which provides new assurances when the heart of the soul is once again scrutinized further.

   So, must we expose ourselves in the extreme in order to realize the spirit heart? Let's consider Mary and Samuel who were promised and dedicated to the Temple of God. Will such devotions and offerings be seen nowadays, when such events were rear enough, even as the Ark of the Covenant resided with Israel? How do we balance the duality of the hearts? What path will guide us to the truth? Does mankind need a Messiah for this?
