The soul...

The soul is like a light in the room that is the mind, for the soul percieves feeling, thought, memory, reason, and identity, and identifies itself with them.

In reality it is aloof from them.

But as the soul cannot see itself, it thinks, with the help of the ego, "I am sad", or, "I am glad," or, "I remember," or, "I have forgotten."

In reality the soul does none of these things; they are all
the workings of the mind, but it identifies itself with what it sees at this time.
