The end result is the annihilation of man as man. The body provides the soul with that whereby a potentiality becomes a reality, a person becomes a personality. As has already been stated, the soul cannot exist except in a state of violence and temporarily without the body. In theory at least the body becomes of far greater importance in this light, since every cell within it is made human by being possessed by a human soul. And, correspondingly, they say that every animal cell is animal by reason of its being possessed by animal soul.
Animal body is spiritually distinct from human body.
Though it may seem rather like foolish superstition to be so greatly concerned with an amputated limb, in the light of this system of psychology it is logical enough. Their major criticism of modern psychology is that it has lost sight of the soul as having a reality by creation. Nor would they be satisfied if psychology should admit the real existence of the soul but then treat it as though it were acting through the body. The soul does not act through the body, but with the body as a substantial unity. The unity of the body and the soul is a substantial one.
