Soul and Mind Distinction

Please explain about the model of consciousness you’ve been referring to and how the soul fits in with that. Rupert says: ‘The soul is an old-fashioned English word for the mind. I would say that the soul was the entirety of the mind. It’s the entirety of your personal mind. Not just your waking state mind. The mind isn’t ego. The ego is the belief that what you are is defined by and limited to the mind. The same mind remains available to you. The faculties of thought and perception remain available to you. But they’re now used in the service of truth rather than in the service of the ego.’
