A comment I posted on Paulo Coelho's blog
The research on Frame of Reference goes to prove that the human mind is a function of all life experiences of a person. Therefore this is also unique and like the DNA of an individual. My life experiences make “me”. This is science and there are numerous scientific research on the psychology of perception, notions of assimilation and accommodation, Framing etc.
However what is of particular interest to me and which is somewhat beyond our current bounds of science, is what the Hindu philosophy calls the Brahma. According to this philosophy, the individual is part of a larger whole – the Brahma - the infinite source of energy. We are all aware of the ‘brain’, but what is it that we call our “soul”? The soul is that part of our being which links us with this entire universe as it is part of the entire collection of energy that could be. This common and collective “soul” is what brings with it commonalities which exists between the human beings inspite of sever differences in culture, experiences and genes.The soul – which Paulo Coelho goes to discover in a greater depth in his book “the eleven minutes” is something that binds the human race and it is the “soul” that is the “light” and the “voice” that speaks to each one of us. It is the Soul which makes the “warriors of the light” one common whole inspite of being geographically and emotionally distributed.
