Paracelsus: "It is the soul that bears man's burdens and joys. It has reason, foresight, and wisdom as companions. These three are intended to rule over the body and to lead it, lest the soul yoke prove too burdensome. But over them the spirit has been appointed, and the spirit governs reason as well as wisdom and foresight. Then arises the order of life, and thus do all things spring from the light of the spirit.
The seat in home of the soul is in the heart, the center of the person; it is the heart that nourished the spirits which know of good and evil. It dwells within the person in the place where life is, against which death fights."
