Spiritual concepts
Birth
Spiritually birth occurs when a Higher spirit along with its accumulated Perceptions acquires a ‘soul’ for use in the physical world – the Emotions, the beginnings of Memory, [that is the empty database of memory], the functions of Learning, Remembering, the 5 senses , the Autonomic system, imagination, and so on– all the functions of the Subconscious and Conscious that constitute the Soul.
Also part of the process is the allocation of the Personality.
