Reflection of Spirit

Question. - What are body and Soul?

Answer. - Identity is the reflection of Spirit, the re- flection in multifarious forms of the living Principle, Love. Soul is the substance, Life, and intelli- gence of man, which is individualized, but not in matter. Soul can never reflect anything inferior to Spirit.
