Thanks both Volgerle and Stillwater for the correction.




Michelangelo's painting of The Creation Of Adam.


Even better 

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
(Genesis 1:27)

The creative intelligence/ mind created each man [Adam & Eve] in own mental image.
God created each human in mind, in own imaginings.

Another way of putting it:
You (ego-self/ persona) are the imagination of inner-self (mind).

The most oldest Indo-European written language include: Sanskrit, Greek and Latin
so this is a good starting point.

Many religious doctrines and well known philosophers agree that the soul is
the self that is alive, that which animates the body, is immortal and thus incorporeal (invisible/not physical).
The soul is also recognised as spirit, psyche, ghost, mind, God, divine, light.


In Sanskrit "atman" literally means "breath, soul";
akin to Old English "breath"

'atma', ("wind, breath, soul")
'atman' ('soul')

Also note that "atman" means "the True Self" —
one's True Self, generally translated into English as "Self",
beyond identification with the phenomenal reality of worldly existence.
Atman is the divine within the self.


The equivalent Latin world  "Anima" refers to the "animating principle"
"to give life, alive"

The Latin "psyche" translation of Greek is "psykhe" is the "soul, breath".
Mind is derived from "psyche".


For example in the Bible, the below allegory demonstrates the above word relationships.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

In latin the word "person" is the persona, signifying primarily a mask used by actors on the stage.
In Black's Law dictionary the "person" is the 'legal fiction' -not man, the living soul.
Contracts between corporations/ legal fictions are made with the "person".


Here is a detailed explanation and etymology of the word "Soul"

The atmic plane exists too in the old system. A high plane to boot. This falls inline with the ancients too.

Michelangelo was a religious man, but he was also a scientist. 

But, paint the brain he did, even if it was just an outline of the brain in the section of the
Sistine Chapel depiction of the Creation of Adam.



Michaelangelo's painting of the 'Creation of Adam' in the Sistine Chapel:
First identified by Meshberger in 1990.


Recently, two Johns Hopkins University neurologists did further study of Sistine Chapel frescoes
and found more anatomical depictions in the fourth panel of the series
The Separation of Light From Darkness.


The fourth panel, showing God in the 'Separation of Light From Darkness'
depicts a ventrel view of the brainstem: images by authors Ian Suk and Rafael Tamargo, via Neurosurgery


Suk and Tamargo present very convincing evidence that, though the brain and brain stem
are camouflaged, Michelangelo was really attempting to teach -
first by alluding to God using his brain to create Adam and then,
a year later, to include the brain stem so obviously in the Separation of Light and Darkness.
Was Michelangelo suggesting that it is the brain that separates light from darkness?


The authors provide plenty of evidence for their theories. 
Look, for example, at the portraits of the other characters in Separation of Light From Darkness. 
They are all turned in the same direction as God, but only God has the brain. 
Further, Suk and Tamargo show how strange it is that God's beard
is not flowing, but rolled up.  For the purpose of revealing the brain?




The Concealed Neuroanatomy in Michelangelo's Separation of Light From Darkness
in the Sistine Chapel,  published in Neurosurgery http://journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/Fulltext/2010/05000/Concealed_Neuroanatomy_in_Michelangelo_s.1.aspx
is fascinating if you are interested in the history of art, the history of science,
and/or the history of the Church.

The bifurcated brain hemisphere in the "Creation of Adam" is pretty easy to see and well accepted academicly... the brain stem on the other hand might be reaching at straws, lol.

Conscience vs. Conscious
by Mark Nichol

What's the difference between conscience and conscious?
They stem from the same Latin root, but their usage is distinct.
Writers occasionally confuse the two words, but if you remain conscious,
you'll likely be able to say with a clear conscience that you know the difference.

Conscience and conscious both come from the Latin word conscius;
the word elements mean "with" and "to know."
(Yes, the -science in conscience means the same thing as science itself.)

Conscience is a noun meaning "sense of the quality of one's character and conduct,"
"adherence to moral principles," and "consideration of fairness and justice."
Confusion between conscience and conscious occurs because the latter word
is sometimes used as a noun synonymous with consciousness, meaning "mental awareness,"
though the longer form is usually employed.

More often, however, conscious appears as an adjective meaning "aware" or "awake,"
or "involving perception or thought."
It also appears in combination with a noun in phrasal adjectives such as
"budget conscious" to refer to someone who is concerned, sensitive,
or vigilant about something.

Conscience and conscious can be distinguished because the former word is qualitative —
people have various degrees of moral strength — while conscious, as its antonym,
unconscious, indicates, is quantitative: You're either one or the other,
whether the word is used as a noun or an adjective.

However, consciousness, as the word is usually applied, like conscious refers to a continuum:
We speak of raising one's consciousness and of higher consciousness,
because this quality can be improved or increased.
Like the noun conscious, though, consciousness has a quantitative sense as well,
referring to a state of mental activity, as opposed to unconsciousness caused by illness or injury.

Other words descended from the Latin word are self-conscious, which literally means
"self-aware" but has acquired a connotation of "preoccupied with how one is perceived by others,"
an attitude that leads to shyness and stress, and conscionable and its more common
antonym unconscionable; the latter means "inexcusable, reprehensible."

Conscientious means "scrupulous" or "careful"; a conscientious objector is someone
who objects to a requirement on religious grounds.
Originally, around the turn of the twentieth century, the context was mandatory vaccination,
but ever since World War I, the primary sense has been of a person who refuses military conscription.
