It is widely known that Plato,
pupil of and close friend to
Socrates,
accepted that Human
Beings have a
" Tripartite Soul
" where the individual
Human
Psyche is noticeably composed
of
three aspects -
1. Wisdom-Rationality,
2.
Spirited-Will and
3.
Appetite-Desire.
THE
TRIPARTITE SOUL
MIND/BODY/SPIRIT
1. MIND
OR SPIRITED-WILL I.E. THE EGO OR
LOWER SELF
2. BODY OR DESIRE
3. SPIRIT
OR WISDOM-RATIONALITY, LOVE OF
DIVINE TRUTH OR WISDOM =
LOVEWISDOM
3. Appetite-Desire
the
following is Socrates speaking
in Plato's Republic Book 9, my
comments are in parentheses:
We called it appetitive, on
account of the violence of the
appetites of hunger, thirst, and
sex, and all their
accompaniments
(i.e. MATERIAL PLEASURES like:
cars, mansions, lands, estates,
physical pleasures like luxury
beds, perfumes, high fashion
clothing, luxury furniture and
appliances, latest cell
phone/computer, magazines,
books, sexual pleasure.
CAN WE
COMBINE FOOD THIRST SEX COMFORTS
WITH WISDOM-RATIONALITY? LIKE
EATING A LIVING LACTO-VEGETARIAN
DIET, SEXUAL CONSERVATION OR
KAREZZA)
and we called it peculiarly
money-loving, because money is
the chief agent in the
gratification of such appetites.
Yes, we were right.
Then if
we were to assert that the
pleasure and the affection of
this third part have gain
(GAINING MONEY, MAKING MONEY,
BEING RICH)
for their object, would not this
be the best summary of the facts
upon which we should be likely
to settle by force of argument,
as a means of conveying a clear
idea to our own minds, whenever
we spoke of this part of the
soul? And shall we not be right
in calling it money-loving and
gain-loving?
I confess I
think so, he replied.
(2.
Spirited-Will)
Again, do we
not maintain that the spirited
part is wholly bent on winning
power and victory and celebrity?
(i.e. BEING FAMOUS, RESPECTED BY
THE WORLD, DRAMA OF REPUTATION,
HONOR, SOCIETAL VALUE, SOCIAL
STANDING, SOCIAL MEDIA
POPULARITY, SCANDAL, DO MY
AUNTS/COUSINS LOVE ME OR HATE
ME? IT'S ALL SO IRRELEVANT, NOT
IMPORTANT, BUT WE WORRY ABOUT
IT, ALL THE TIME. I WORK TO LET
IT GO.
ALSO DOES CBS
NEWS/MAINSTREAM MEDIA ACCEPT
LOVEWISDOM OR THE
PARADISIAN-VITALOGICAL SCIENCE
MOVEMENT ? NO, THEY DO NOT. AND
SO WORK TO LET IT GO, NOT WORRY
ABOUT THINGS NOT WORTH WORRYING
ABOUT.
THE PSYCHIC OR
SPIRITED-WILL IS THE ARCHON EGO
MIND, THAT IS NOT OUR TRUE SELF
OR HIGHER SELF COMPOSED OF LOWER
ON EARTH SELF AND HIGHER SELF IN
HEAVEN AND YOUR PARTNER
CONSCIENCE.
WE HAVE NO POWER
OVER OTHER PEOPLE, NOT EVEN
FEMALE PARTNERS I.E. THE MACHO
DOMINANCE, THEY CAN AND WILL
LEAVE FREELY, ILLUSION OF MALE
DOMINANCE ALTHOUGH THEY LIKE TO
BE LEAD IN SOME THINGS AND MEN
ARE LEAD BY WOMEN TOO, LIKE ADAM
WHEN HE WAS GUIDED BY HIS
CONSCIENCE OR THE FEMALE IN THE
GARDEN OF EDEN.)
Certainly we do.
Then would
the title of strife-loving and
honour-loving be appropriate to
it?
Yes, most appropriate?
(1. Wisdom-Rationality)
Well, but with regard to the
part by which we learn, it is
obvious to everyone that its
entire and constant aim is to
know how the truth stands, and
that this of all the elements of
our nature feels the least
concern for wealth (number 3)
and reputation (number 2).
Yes, quite the least.
(THIS IS YOUR TRUE SELF, THE
REAL YOU, NOT THE EGO
WILLED-SPIRIT OF THE ARCHONS OR
THE BODY SOMATIC DESIRE OF THE
MATERIAL BODY WHICH IS
DESIRE-APPETITE-MAMMON SEEKING.
WHAT REALM OF THE TRIPARTATE ARE
YOU ACTING FROM? IS IT SOLELY
FROM THE LOWER TWO 2. AND 3. OR
CAN YOU MIX THE FIRST 1. OR
WISDOM WITH THE OTHER ACTIONS OF
FOOD-MONEY-SEX AND
FAME-RESPECT-HONOR.)
Then shall we not do well to
call it knowledge-loving and
wisdom-loving?
(Wisdom Loving or
Love of Wisdom/Lovewisdom. Wisdom is Higher
Knowledge, Divine Truth, not merely
intellectual, scientific,
materially and temporally
quantifiable knowledge.
