The MIND SOUL denote the INTELLECTUAL SOUL. It is the ACTIVITY of which is LINKED
WITH the operation of the EGO.
By taking COGNIZANCE of EXTERNAL OBJECTS the MIND SOUL increasingly LIBERATES
ITSELF from the EXTERNAL WORLD OF PERCEPTION TO WORK WITHIN ITS OWN
SPIRITUAL REALM.
In modern times the word "soul" is often confused with "spirit", but in all ancient cultures the distinction is very clear : SOUL IS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN SPIRIT and MATTER, and MAN
is VIEWED AS A TRIUNE BEING with physical body and eternal spirit connected for the duration
of a lifetime by "soul."
The apostle PAUL calls that which directs the operation of the MIND in the "LAW OF the MIND."
It CONTROLS the MIND according to the "LAW OF GOD," and the MIND SOUL delights in this
law. But "SIN' s LAW" operating in FALLEN FLESH FIGHTS AGAINST the "LAW OF the MIND," so that THERE IS a constant CONFLICT within a TRIUNE BEING.
How does the MIND win the BATTLE? PAUL illuminates the matter further, saying : "Those who are in ACCORD WITH the FLESH set their MINDS on the THINGS OF the FLESH, but those in ACCORD WITH the SPIRIT on the THINGS OF the SPIRIT."
GOD knows what the "MIND OF THE SPIRIT IS." GOD has in the past CAUSED many inspired
PRAYERS TO BE RECORDED IN HIS WORD (Scriptures), EXPRESSING HIS WILL OR
MIND for the TRIUNE BEING.
