摘要

眾生與身心靈及世界，終日相處密不可分，然對自己身心靈相互間之關係卻多不暸。世間宗教與靈修組織大量產生與此有關，且不乏甚多受害事件。故身心靈之結構及其主宰機制殊值深究。本文試從一般身心靈俗義、現代心理學、神學、科學與佛道等多方面探討，瞭解心靈究為何物？主宰機制為何？動物植物礦物有無心靈？輪迴成因、生死區別？世界如何生成等？以助世間瞭解實情，減少靈修障礙。結論世間對身心靈及世界認知不同，其實可殊途同歸，源一靈性。

No living creature is separate from its own body, soul and spirit, or from the world. This connection is constant and continuous, but few living beings understand the correlation between themselves and their bodies, souls and spirits. This cognitive disconnection is the main reason for the rise of numerous religions and spiritual organizations around the world. Because many people have fallen prey to unethical religious or spiritual practices, it is necessary to clarify the structure of and systematic domination of the body, soul and spirit on the one hand, and the world on the other. By examining the general knowledge of the body, soul and spirit, as well as modern psychology, theology, science and Buddhism, this paper attempts to understand questions such as what the soul or spirit truly is, how the world was generated, what the dominating mechanism is, whether animals, plants or minerals have souls, the causes of samsāra (reincarnation), and the distinction between life and death. Discovering the truths of these fundamental issues about the world can help reduce the barriers to spiritual growth. The paper concludes that the cognitive differences about the body, soul and spirit and the world are actually a means to the same end-the one spirituality.
