A "state-of-matter(soma)"? HMMM! For many, this is old news. Of course, as one of the three essential components, or TRI-pods, of life, it IS!

Now may I ask: Is not a "state of mind (psyche)" an essential component? I certainly believe that it IS.

And, what ought we to do about our, "state of SPIRIT (pneuma)"?

As the third pod, or component of life, is it not, theologically speaking, The most essential state of all?

In my opinion, it is The One that guides our physical and the mental states when, because of ignorance, our lack of Faith, Hope, Love, Courage, Wisdom and Will allows ourselves to get trapped in ignorance and chaos.

Again, in my opinion, it IS certainly what Paul had in mind well over 2000 years ago, See 1 Thess 5:23.
