The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

and desires are contained and emitted to the body. The soul is fed by two means: externally, that is the body and its outside stimuli, and internally, from the spirit. The order of the flow of human information and nourishment is as follows: the spirit nourishes the soul, the soul nourishes the heart likewise, and the heart nourishes the mind. The heart is the first place of deposit and from there it discharges to the mind. After heart issues reach the mind they are processed according to human intelligence, desire, and educational disposition, and then translated to signals, impulses, and appetites sent to the body. Genesis 2:7 and 35:18; Psalm 22:29 and 16:10; Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 15:45. 1406. Soul Migration—Akin to the idea of reincarnation, this term refers to a change of a soul’s residence from one body or creature to another. It is based on the belief that the human soul, upon death, passes from one body to another presumably at will. When it does not change to migrate to another human body, or enter an animal, it is believed that the soul rests in an inanimate object until a suitable residence presents itself. Some religions call this a type of being reborn. Compare with new birth. Some peoples contend that certain animals house and provide ready receptacles for departed ancestors. Departed relatives are thought to wait in them until a new human body is ready for their incarnation. Whether they cohabitate with the rightful owner of the body or overpower it to its suppression is a matter for discussion. Other beliefs, such as Hinduism, feel an individual’s soul earns a new existence upon death based upon their conduct before dying. Yoga is held to enlighten the soul and prepare it for a favorable migration upon death. The ancient Druids taught this concept, supposing that a departed soul leaving one body quickly enters another without appreciable interruption. Again, the question arises as to what happens to the soul that is currently inhabiting the body as its rightful, natural born, owner. The extent of ancient Egypt’s soul transmigration belief is that a departed soul leaves its earthly abode only to unite with a god—a sort of elevation to deity or promotion to angel motif. There was an infrequent belief that a soul could change into something else. 1407. South—A) Right of the east. The right side of something on the rise and in the fullest of strength.
