The Egyptians did it long ago.
Ba-Ra-Ka.
Ba= the vegetative state of being. That which unconsciously runs the mechanisms of life- breathe, heart, etc etc.
Ra= the instinctual animal state of being. That which drives us to eat, gather, hunt, and subsist.
Ka= the conscious human mind which attempts to reason out existence and its tenants.
