When I first considered how to best describe my
life-changing epiphany of the “secret” to total wellness, I specifically chose
the phrase “Body, Mind & Spirit” over the more commonly used “Body, Mind
and Soul” for various reasons. First and foremost, soul and spirit are not the
same thing. Now this may be the most controversial chapter in the entire book,
because folks have been taught to believe the soul and spirit are synonymous.
Therefore, the idea that they are indeed different flies in the face of everything
you’ve been taught. Even preachers preach this untruth and today I pray that
darkness gives way to light. Perhaps the confusion stems from the fact that the
Bible was originally translated from Hebrew to Greek to Latin and then later to
English. The Greek word for “life” and “soul” is the same word psuche from which we get the word
“psyche” (the human faculty for thought, judgment, and emotion). Pneuma is the Greek word for “spirit.” Today we can set the record straight once and
for all.
