Star Trek gives insights into our soul

Recently I have been re(re-re-re)watching the old original cast Star Trek movies on Netflix. In the second one Spock dies and Kirk and Bones are visibly lost. I've long since thought of them as the aspects of the three parts of the soul that we can all innately identify with:

                Soul:

 Spock   = mind (logic oriented)

 Dr. NcCoy = emotion (passionate feeling oriented)

 Kirk       = will (action/decision oriented)

 

I've noticed that we sometimes 'kill off' as aspect of ourselves.  Really passive people's will is dead, really flaky people off their mind, but the most common is people that deny their emotions.  They run from them, go into denial about the way they feel, and even abuse alcohol, drugs, work, porn etc to numb the way they feel.  Jesus said he sets us free for freedom's sake.  God wants you and me to be free feeling, thinking and acting persons!
