We Are Four-Dimensional Beings: Body, Mind, Soul, and Spirit

By Violette Blue, 05.12.2025

Most of us have heard about the body, mind, and soul as the main parts that make up who we are. Yet, there’s a dimension often overlooked—the spirit. To truly understand ourselves, we need to recognize that we are four-dimensional beings: body, mind, soul, and spirit. Each plays its own unique role, and knowing how to tell them apart opens the door to deeper self-awareness and spiritual growth. The fourth dimension-spirit adds up to our vibration and frequency of high or low.

The Basic Three: Body, Mind, and Soul

Your body is the physical you—the vessel that feels, moves, and interacts with the world. It’s where hunger, pain, pleasure, and fatigue come alive.

The mind is like a bustling newsroom, full of thoughts, ideas, memories, and judgments. It sorts through everything and tries to make sense of the world.

The soul is more subtle. It doesn’t speak in words but in feelings. It carries your emotions, intuition, passions—the very essence that makes you unique. The soul is the seat of your true identity and personal experience.

But these three don’t tell the whole story.

The Spirit: The Fourth Dimension

Spirit connects you with something beyond yourself. It’s the invisible guide or guardian influencing your soul and mind, linking you to divine wisdom or higher purpose. While God is often described as having body, mind, and spirit, humans carry another layer: the soul. Spirit operates on a level higher than soul, body, or mind.

Spirit can be your protector, your inspirer, sometimes even the energy challenging you to grow past your limits. Learning to recognize spirit’s presence requires quieting the mental noise and tuning into subtle feelings and signs. When your mind is still, the words or images that come to you may be the spirit communicating.

Voices Inside the Mind: Who Speaks?

You might wonder, who is really speaking inside your mind? Since your soul doesn’t use words but feelings, the inner voice can come from:

• Your higher self, a wise aspect of you beyond the everyday mind. It often communicates gently, with peace and clarity.
• The Holy Spirit, representing divine guidance, offering love, truth, and wisdom that uplifts and empowers.
• Or darker forces: the devil and his agents, which can flood your mind with fear, anger, confusion, or self-doubt.

How do you tell the difference?

• Consider the direction and distance: Does the voice feel invasive and urgent, or calm and distant?
• Notice how it feels: Does it bring peace and strength, or heaviness and turmoil?
• Reflect on why it appears: Is it sudden and jarring, or patient and subtle?
• Ask if it makes sense, aligns with your values, and fits your character.
• Observe the results: Does it bring wisdom and growth, or destruction and despair?

The Holy Spirit in Action

Christian tradition offers vivid examples of the Holy Spirit guiding humanity. At creation, the Spirit hovered over the waters, setting life in motion. During Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit descended like a dove, affirming His mission. At Pentecost, the Spirit ignited the apostles with tongues of fire, empowering them to share their message with courage.

These moments reveal the Holy Spirit as a source of positive guidance and empowerment. Its energy uplifts, teaches, and protects.

Darkness: The Other Side

Where there is light, darkness shadows. Negative spirits carry energies of fear, anger, worthlessness, confusion, and despair. They oppose growth and peace, trying to mislead and destroy. History shows many who were led astray by such forces, suffering great falls.

The struggle between positive and negative spirits isn’t just ancient myth—it’s a lived reality for many, and it plays out inside the mind and soul every day.

Choosing Your Path

Knowing you are a four-dimensional being means accepting responsibility for which energies you invite. Stay alert to the voices and feelings within. Learn to feel your body, understand your mind, listen to your soul, and recognize your spirit.

The choice is yours: align with the light that nurtures growth and well-being or drift into shadows that breed confusion and pain. The path you choose shapes your life and the energy you share with the world.

By becoming aware of each dimension and the spirits influencing you, you reclaim your power and step into your fullest self. Your journey is not just about survival—it’s about thriving in body, mind, soul, and spirit.

Who Speaks Inside Our Minds? Understanding the Voices Within

When we talk about the soul, it’s important to remember: the soul doesn’t speak in words—it feels. It speaks the language of emotions, sensations, and deep knowing. The chatter inside your mind, the voice that narrates your day, isn’t your soul talking. So, who is it then?

The voices in your mind can come from several sources, each carrying very different energies and intentions.

One possibility is your higher self—a version of you that exists beyond the physical, outside the limits of the earthly mind. This part is often described as wiser, calmer, and more connected to your true path. It might offer guidance softly, with a feeling of clarity and peace, sometimes coming from somewhere distant, like a quiet beacon high above the noise.

Another is the Holy Spirit, especially in a spiritual or religious context. This spirit guides with love, wisdom, and truth. When it speaks, the message aligns with goodness, support, and encouragement towards growth and kindness. It feels uplifting and centered, even if it challenges you to change.

Then there’s the darker side: the devil or his agents. These voices often arrive suddenly and disruptively, pulling you toward fear, anger, confusion, or despair. They feel heavy and destructive, making you doubt yourself and your worth. These spirits try to tear you down by sowing discord and pushing you away from your values.

How to Distinguish the Voices?

Discerning who is speaking in your mind isn’t always straightforward, but here are some clues:

• Direction and Distance: Does the voice feel close and compulsive, or distant and calm? The higher self and Holy Spirit often communicate from a quieter, elevated place. Darker voices feel invasive and pressing.

• How It Feels: Does the message bring peace, warmth, and wisdom? Or does it stir anxiety, anger, or confusion? Positive spirits tend to feel light, even when challenging, while negative ones feel heavy and tense.

• Suddenness: Sudden, jarring messages can be attempts by disruptive spirits. Truthful guidance often comes with patience and subtlety.

• Sense and Alignment: Does what you hear make sense with your core beliefs and values? Does it resonate with who you want to be, or does it clash and push you away from your moral compass?

• Outcome: Does the voice encourage growth, kindness, and understanding? Or does it lead to self-destruction, isolation, or despair?

Learning to tell these voices apart is one of the most important spiritual skills you can develop. It’s about connecting deeply with your body, mind, and soul to recognize your own energy and then learning to sense when something foreign is whispering.

Trust the feelings and wisdom your soul holds—it’s your anchor. When the mind’s voices line up with your soul’s truths, you know you’re hearing guidance that serves your highest good.
