The soul of man is...his mind. He is not a mere heap of atoms. He consists of ideas. His existence is not purely material. It is also and principally spiritual. We grant there is no ego soul. There is as little a metaphysical thing-in-itself in man as there is a thing-in-itself of a watch or a tree, or a natural law. But nevertheless, just as much as that combination called a watch, is not a nonentity but a reality, in the same way man's soul, in spite of the non-existence of a metaphysical ego soul, is not a nonentity but a reality; and the mold into which we have been cast is that divinity of the world which was the beginning and will remain forever and aye. The term Monism is often used in the sense of one substance theory that either mind alone or matter alone exists. These views generally called materialism, idealism or spiritualism, are pseudomonisms and would better be called henism. For either view attempts to explain the world from one single concept, deriving therefrom all natural phenomena. Monism does not attempt to subsume all phenomena under one category but remains conscious of the truth that spirit and matter, soul and body, God and world are different, not entities but abstract ideas denoting certain features of reality. Monism is a unity conception of the world -- one inseparable and indivisible entirely. Monism stands upon the principles that all the different truths are but so many different aspects of one and the same truth.   History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil, by Dr. Paul Carus     Enrich Your Life With a Philosophy Book...
