Man's developmental and operational domains

Three domains are involved in man's realization of his unique purpose. Each relates to a specific activity and development that should exist during the span of a man's life through all generations

 It was to this end that he was instilled with those faculties necessary for the execution of these operations and developments, as well as with various urges and sensations to encourage their execution. If these are not expressed in a positive manner, they remain active and tend to be expressed negatively. For example: if the urge does not bring a man to express love, it may induce him to express hatred.

 Man is an imperfect creation. This imperfection grants him life, but also the possible negative expression of his capacities, with all their ensuing damage.
There are different factors - both internal and external - working in man’s favor, minimizing this imperfection. The external factors include others' spiritual and social help. The internal factors include the power of faith, success, the desire for knowledge and more.

Reciprocal processes exist between these domains. A correct or incorrect activity of one area can impact, positively or negatively, on one or more of the others. Additionally, a controlling mechanism exists between these fields. We identify the physical domain, the intellectual domain (the objective) and the spiritual domain (the subjective). If, for example, the intellectual domain can be seen as collecting information, the spiritual domain can be described as directing this knowledge to positive or negative activities. While variations in mankind's intellectual domain are slight, the differences in mankind’s spiritual domain are considerable. 

The physical domain
This domain is the most familiar one for each of us. Its main role is to carry out the physical functions and of course to supply whatever is required for itself as well as for the other two domains, enabling them to properly fulfill their activities.

The intellectual domain
This domain is run by the brain’s left hemisphere. It rules all that is related to logic, reason, intellectuality, pragmatism, creativity, analytical skills, learning and experiencing. This is an independent area whose activity is performed in
β (Beta) consciousness

The moral spiritual domain
This is run by the brain's right hemisphere, but is active only in α (Alpha)  consciousness . Its activity exists mostly beneath the border of consciousness. In its main part, it is unknown to man. On the other hand, it is the most significant domain, with the widest horizons and herein lays our greatest hope. This is the field of intuitive thinking and of spiritual senses. Its activity is unlimited by time and space. It is this domain, which throughout the course of time has created those individuals of splendor and renown.

Its primary role is to bring man to function properly, providing us with goals and ideas and bringing them to fruition. It supervises itself as well as the other domains.        
The most important spiritual means that the domain develops and operates are:
 1. Spiritual maturity. 2. Self worth. 3. Love. 4. Positive creativity. Including their secondary tools.
 This domain also develops and operates spiritual means, such as, α consciousness, imagination, recognition, success, giving, the spiritual senses, including the retrieval of information from the Universal Mind, and more.

The physical and intellectual domains develop and function continually even prior  the moment of birth . The moral and spiritual domain does not. This domain has two sub-periods: 1. Spiritual Childhood, 2. Spiritual adulthood.

Spiritual Childhood
This is something of an introductory period where the child sub-consciously develops the spiritual abilities he will activate in adulthood. This development ripens when a person reaches spiritual maturity.

The child’s imperfection is at its peak at the beginning of this period and it decreases as these qualities develop. This is the period when the child develops his “spiritual inhibitions” which slow down and even arrest this development, leading to myriad adverse effects throughout his life. The inability to reach spiritual maturity is a known result of it.
This is also the period when the child’s self-image is determined, which can, among other things, encourage or stem his positive development, with very striking, far-reaching consequences. For further details please read the self-image chapter.

Spiritual adulthood
In this period, man is able and desires to utilize his spiritual qualities in positive, creative ways. In order to continue efficiently his improvement ,he need appropriate guidance.
The improvement process described in e-book called Improving spiritual qualities provides this guidance.
