"It is the soul that animates the body; the body alone has no real significance. Deprived of the blessings of the Holy Spirit, the material body would be inert." (Pt 133) (46:6) Speaking "of the soul... this physical body... lives under its entire control in accordance with its dictates." (RofM 16) (46:7) "The soul of man should be likened unto this sun, and all things on earth should be regarded as his body. So long as no external impediment interveneth between them, the body will... continue to reflect the light of the soul, and to be sustained by its power. As soon as, however a veil interposeth itself between them, the brightness of that light seemeth to lessen." (Bwf 120- 1) (46:8) "The spirit is changeless, indestructible. The progress and development of the soul, the joy and sorrow of the soul, are independent of the physical body... (though) the grief or trouble of the soul may react on the body." (Pt 65)
(46:9)
