This intuitive spiritual sense, independent of logic, derives from the realm of the soul. This does not imply that reason does not affect it, but even for those whose rational sense does not extend beyond questions of self-interest, the soul still often imposes an altruistic perspective. Having understood that the moral sense functions from above, with rules and considerations different from the rational ego, we can now investigate the nature of the soul as a spiritual entity in its own right. Objectivity and the Soul's Reality Objectivity is the basis of the soul's reality. Indeed, the ego, too, knows how to be realistic and objective, but it adopts this perspective merely as a strategy for subjective success.
Subjectivity is the true foundation of the ego's existence.
The soul's objectivity, though, is fundamental. It regards matters in terms of pure good and bad, without distorting that perspective with personal interest. This is not to say that the moral sense is indifferent to self. Rather, the soul objectively weighs claims of ego against the claims of others, to arrive at the proper ethical verdict. Nor is this objectivity a state of indifference.
