As the title reads, its called the soul compartment theory or glass theory.
The idea is loosely based on old alchemist philosophy, were each human being's soul is comprised of compartments or glasses, for example say you have 8 glasses that represent the differnt aspects which complete ones soul, you as a human being fill these glasses by your actions and in general who you are - because each human being is not the same we do not have a equal amount of filling for each glass/compartment, what happens is that you fill some compartments more than others, sometimes even causing some glasses to over flow (which happens most of the time).
Thus causing a in balance of the soul.
The purpose of this article I will refer to fillng these compartments as feeding ones soul or soul food.
Alchemy suggests that in order to create a balance in ones soul, we should find and draw ourselves towards those who will fill our glasses and thus in turn filling other humans glasses and in compartments they lack.
For example:
These are some of my soul compartments:
As you can see some compartments are full to the brim and some are lacking.
Here is another persons soul compartments:
The idea around this, is that we should surround ourselves with other people who can help us obtain a balance of our compartments thus in turn becoming a better human being.
Once you find this person or people you should start sharing soul food.
Once this is done your comprtments should end up like so:
But in saying this we constantly deplete our soul compartments contents as we live each day, you also keep producing new contents in compartments daily.
This now can be applicable in temrs of human relationships, whether it be with the person you love, your partner or friends that you hang out with, the idea of this theory is that you should be connecting with people who will be feeding your soul where some of your compartments are empty or not full.
It all goes back to the idea that you are a product of your environment and that who you are and who you want to be, is dictated by the people you have in your life and how their actions and ideas shape the person you are or want to become.
For example feeding your soul can come in many shapes and forms, mostly they can come from the things that interest you or things you are passionate about, but its not the interest or passion itself in literal terms, but the things you get from the interest or passion - the feelings of happiness, excitement, elation, completion, freedom.
The ideas around this theory can be taken in various ways and in variation on how its applicable to the person you want to be.
For example why waste your time with surface dwellers(people who only scratch the surface in life and never dig deep for more) when you could be spending the true precious time we have on this earth with those who will help you find the balance in your soul compartments.
There is a old saying and belief that goes like so;
"We as humans are not born with a soul but only with the seed of spirituality"
I have my take on this saying, I believe that we are all born with a soul but just as babies are born into the world it needs to be taken care of, fed and taught in order for it to grow and fulfill its potential, this goes for our souls aswell - in order for our souls to be alive and present in everyday life, we must feed it and take care of it.
Soul is the key, in the words of a good homie - If the soul keeps rockin, the streets keep rockin'
Soul Food.
Peace.
