I am part of the sun as my eye is part of me. That I am part of the earth my feet know perfectly, and my blood is part of the sea. My soul knows that I am part of the human race, my soul is an organic part of the great human race, as my spirit is part of my nation. In my own very self, I am part of my family.

The soul is that part of us that is immortal. It existed before the personality was born and it will exist after the personality is gone.

This process is becoming conscious.
