ABSTRACT
The idea that personality is at the same time characterized by integration and multifacetedness is very familiar to all those who ever ventured into examining their own selves, which most of us have done in one way or another. The notion that most people are familiar with is the idea corpus et animam, which implies that we are composed of body and soul. The widely exploited term "soul" was used earlier in the roughest and broadest sense to denote that part of personality that is not identical with the body. The levels of personality are graphically presented as three concentric circles – the somatic level is on the outside, the psychic is between the somatic and the noetic, and the noetic, or the spiritual, is at the core. The problem with materialistically oriented scientific approach lies in the fact that the psychological level of personality is considered "to be a part of the body".
