The Brain, the Soul & Consciousness - The Michael Teachings

Q: What is needed from the soul, if anything, for consciousness in the brain to exist?

A: Consciousness as we would define it is that element that endows the brain with the fluidity and cognitive understanding that exists beyond the mere computational mechanics of the brain’s machinery. A computer, for instance, can calculate and retrieve existing data that was programmed into its memory but is not aware that these functions are being carried out. It is strictly done by a sophisticated yet ultimately rote series of computations and internal networking.

With the human brain and other life forms, the soul animates these mechanical functions with the cognizance that there is an awareness of the self that does the calculations. Nouns, verbs, and conjunctions are strung into coherent sentences to communicate with another; compassion and understanding is felt based on empathy; and choices are made that react to ever-changing social and environmental conditions and the personal needs that arise thereof. In other words, the soul endows the brain with the conscious awareness that knows it’s alive and is capable of exerting influence on its surroundings.

The general plasticity of the brain allows the soul to meld with the organ on a vibrational level, attuning with its electromagnetic fields without being electromagnetic in terms of detectable matter. The process is difficult to describe in a physical sense, but think of the permeability of osmosis where in this instance the physical and the spiritual merge, creating a symbiotic relationship between the brain and the soul that activates a state of consciousness.

A brain without that symbiotic relationship with a soul would, of course, be rendered comatose. Theoretically, the body could still function and exist for years if proper nourishment were provided, but the brain lacking a soul would not awaken. This scenario, however, is more hypothetical than reality.

While the soul is responsible for sustaining consciousness in the brain, the brain itself does the thinking and retrieves and stores memories. This is why a physically impaired brain shows a corresponding degree of mental decline, even though the soul is left intact. No matter how damaged the brain might be, the symbiosis with the soul ensures no experience is ever lost, but as stated, the functionality of the brain correlates with the health and responsiveness of all mental faculties. In cases of dementia or Alzheimer's, for instance, the faculties are diminished. The brain is then the body's central processing unit (or CPU). It governs motor skills, the functioning of internal organs, breathing, the ability to see, instinctive-centered emotions, the mental process, and so forth. The soul, however, as a nonphysical unit, could not sustain these functions in the body. 

Beyond the animating properties of the soul, the soul (or essence) influences the personality through the positive poles of the overleaves, projecting light into all aspects of an incarnation through its presence. Thoughts, feelings, sensations and physical maneuvers are still governed by the personality and the brain, but essence illuminates the path. This path, one devoid of egotism, the polarities of likes and dislikes, and negative emotions, assists the personality in integrating more of its authentic self into daily activities.

We believe it is also instructive to understand that the soul contributes, at varying degrees of sentience, the vital component necessary to instill consciousness in all life forms, even those lacking a traditional nervous system, such as plants and trees.
