Trying To Find A Book... Options

Does anyone know any books which deal with the "nature of the soul"? Or are based on the description of the soul?

I've been interested in learning about the nature of the soul, yet cannot find any written information on that.

Greetings Death Stalker,

In regards to the "Nature of The Soul" I think it is important to remember that for every Religion there might be a varied idea of the 'Concept' of the constituent parts and nature of the aspects of the soul.

I would however recommend a few books as sources or refernce that I have found as good starting points for such a study.

The first is "The Middle Pillar" The Balance Between Mind and Magic by Israel Regardie. In "The Middle Pillar" in the second chapter called 'The Tree of Life' it describes the Seven Aspects of the Soul as believed by the Hebrews and which corresponds to Qabalistic Teachings.

In Aleister Crowley's "Liber 777" you will find in the Magickal Correspondence Section of the Book a listing of these same Seven Aspects of the Soul as believed by the Hebrews.

The third source I would list as a refernce comes from a slightly different Religious and Spiritual Perspective. It describes the Constituent Parts or Aspects of the Soul as believed by the Ancient Egyptians, and this book is called "The Egyptian Book of The Dead" translated by E.A. Wallis Budge.

All three of these sources may be compared, and you may find as I have that many of the corresponding Aspects or Parts of the makeup of the Soul as described in each source have a very similar undercurrent or belief.

Hope this helps.

Respectfully,
Helel (Joseph)
