if we distinguish between them, and call all that is spiritual back of the material body by the word soul, referring in this way to the body's interior life. A new diagram will elucidate our idea:
SPIRIT MIND |
SOUL | REALM OF THE SPIRITUAL | |
BODY | BODY | REALM OF THE MATERIAL | |

Now let us go a step further and define mind as the natural mind, a part of the natural body by association, similar to the mind of an animal, both belonging to the realm of the "natural" (a new term), and yet the body belonging to matter and the mind to spirit, the body perishable, and the mind and spirit immortal and capable of continuance apart from the body. "Natural" and "material" are not wholly identical or coincident, although "material" belongs to the realm of the natural. We would better record this new phase:
SPIRIT | Constituting SOUL |
Existent in the REALM OF THE SPIRITUAL REALM OF THE MATERIAL |
= MAN | ||||||
NATURAL | MIND BODY |
BODY | |||||||
