The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: The Trinity, Three Distinct Beings in One: The Soul (The Law/ ALU)

The Trinity, Three Distinct Beings in One: The Soul (The Law/ ALU)

                So what, then, is the ALU?  If the Flesh, or Id, is self-centered and the Spirit, or Ego, is other-centered, what is left? 

                The best way that I can describe the ALU is to say that it is the king of your conscious mind.  It is neither self-centered nor other-centered, but it determines which part of the mind it will listen to.  The control unit brings information to the ALU from the programming as well as from outside sources (this being a computer user’s commands or another computer trying to communicate with it, etc.).  Likewise, the Spirit delivers all input from both itself and the Flesh to the human’s version of the ALU.  The ALU then weighs the self-centered thoughts and the other-centered thoughts and makes a decision.  Will the decision be self-centered this time or other-centered?...basically will the decision be to follow the Flesh or the Spirit…or will the ALU decide to compromise between the two and develop a creative solution to make both sides happy?

                This part of the psyche, according to Sigmund Freud, is the Superego.  In the Bible it is called the Soul.  The Soul, then, is neither self-centered nor other-centered.  It is the judge who uses logic and reason to make decisions.  It is the Soul that hears the arguments from both the Flesh and Spirit and it decides which to listen to. 

                Computers do this all the time.  The ALU receives input from a user and input from the programming all the time.  When the two conflict it must decide which to listen to.  Should it obey the input it receives from outside sources (again, the user) or should it obey the input it receives from the programming?
