PURE INCORPOREAL SOULS DWELL WITHIN INTELLIGENCE IN DIVINITY.

The souls that have a body thereby feel the corporeal punishments they

are undergoing. Pure souls, however, that do not carry along with them

anything corporeal, necessarily enjoy the privilege of abiding in the

incorporeal. Being free from having to dwell in anything corporeal as

they have no bodies, they reside where is being and essence, and the

divine; that is, in the divinity. There, in the divinity, with the

intelligible beings, dwells the pure Soul. If you wish to locate the

Soul still more exactly, go to where are the intelligible entities; and

if you are looking for them, do not look for them with the eyes, as if

they were (physical) bodies.
