Spirit — is the active, volitional aspect of the “Higher Self,” responsible for Action, Discipline, and Realization. In the triune structure of a person, the Spirit plays the role of the “Warrior” and “Driver.”
Role in the Triad
If the Soul gives the impulse (“I want”), and the Consciousness makes the plan (“I know how”), then it is the Spirit that is responsible for embodiment (“I do”).
- It awakens a person to action.
- It overcomes the inertia of matter and laziness.
- It provides the energy to complete initiated processes.
Without a strong Spirit, even the most beautiful impulses of the Soul remain just dreams, and the brilliant plans of the Consciousness are merely blueprints on paper. The Spirit is the force that grounds the dream into reality.
Diagnosis of Spirit Strength
- Sleeping Spirit: A person lives in dreams (“it would be nice if…”), but for years does not take the first step. They are characterized by laziness, procrastination, waiting for a savior, and fear of the system.
- Awakened Spirit: This is the state of the “Warrior of Light.” A person sets an intention and immediately moves to realization. Obstacles are perceived not as problems, but as training tools for the Will. The Spirit is the force that lifts you out of bed for a great purpose.
Spirit and Body
The Spirit governs matter through the discipline of the body. It is impossible to have a powerful Spirit in a flabby, toxic body if this is the result of laziness. Ascetic practices, physical training, hardening, and clean eating are not just a healthy lifestyle; they are tools through which the Spirit subjugates the animal nature, asserting the primacy of Will over instincts.

I lived and studied abroad in New Zealand, taking English language courses. I lived and worked in South Korea in the fields and at sea. In total, I’ve visited four different countries, different from those where Russian is spoken. I’ve interacted with people from at least 20 different cultures, religions, and faiths. I share my experiences on my blog. I try not to judge or make any judgments, but I do draw conclusions.
