What is Sonen?

Sonen is the innermost part of one’s mind which exists one dimension higher than the mind.  Human’s body is not composed of only visible form, but spirit and mind are within the physical body. There is no clear border among them. They are in the interlocking, interwoven, and trinity condition as shown in a picture below. Sonen exist between the spiritual and mental aspects and controls one’s mind.

Let me give an example to define the difference of Sonen and mind. For instance, please imagine you are walking a street and you found your coworker who you don’t get along with is walking toward your direction. The person has not recognized you yet. What is your feeling?
Some of you may think, “I don’t want to see her”, or “I wish he/ she doesn’t notice me.” However, you may re-think and talk to yourself, “No, I should be nice to that person.” at the next moment. Then you would approach and greet to him/ her friendly.

The first feeling comes out to you is what you thought in your Sonen. The second one is what you thought in your mind.  If you have negative feeling in the world of sonen, it will affect the physical conditions.

I will write how we can change the status of Sonen next time.
