The Body Is the Extrinsic Soul

A man asks why it is that the mind ceases suffering in deep sleep but may not entirely after death. Rupert suggests that deep sleep is the subsidence of mind. The sense of separation goes to sleep in deep sleep, but it’s not annihilated. It comes back the next morning. At death, the mind, which doesn’t die with the body, is still active. Therefore, suffering could still exist. Rupert quotes Blake, ‘The body is that part of the mind that is discernible by the five senses’. The body is the extrinsic appearance of the intrinsic experience, mind. The body is really the soul.
