human personality appears in two aspects: the image or
likeness of God, and the aspect of Satan. The human reality stands between
these two: the divine and the satanic. It is manifest that beyond this
material body, man is endowed with another reality, which is the world of
exemplars constituting the heavenly body of man. In speaking, man says, "I
saw," "I spoke," "I went." Who is this I? It is obvious that this I is
different from this body. It is clear that when man is thinking, it is as
though he were consulting with some other person. With whom is he
consulting? It is evident that it is another reality, or one aside from
this body, with whom he enters into consultation when he thinks, "Shall I
do this work or not?" "What will be the result of my doing this?" Or when
he questions the other reality, "What is the objection to this work if I
do it?" And then that reality in man communicates its opinion to him
concerning the point at issue. Therefore, that reality in man is clearly
and obviously other than his body--an ego with which man enters into
consultation and whose opinion man seeks.

Often a man makes up his mind positively about a matter; for instance, he
determines to undertake a journey. Then he thinks it over--that is, he
consults his inner reality--and finally concludes that he will give up his
journey. What has happened? Why did he abandon his original purpose? It is
evident that he has consulted his inner reality, which expresses to him
the disadvantages of such a journey; therefore, he defers to that reality
and changes his original intention.

Furthermore, man sees in the world of dreams. He travels in the East; he
travels in the West; although his body is stationary, his body is here. It
is that reality in him which makes the journey while the body sleeps.
There is no doubt that a reality exists other than the outward, physical
reality. Again, for instance, a person is dead, is buried in the ground.
Afterward, you see him in the world of dreams and speak with him, although
his body is interred in the earth. Who is the person you see in your
dreams, talk to and who also speaks with you? This again proves that there
is another reality different from the physical one which dies and is
buried. Thus it is certain that in man there is a reality which is not the
physical body. Sometimes the body becomes weak, but that other reality is
in its own normal state. The body goes to sleep, becomes as one dead; but
