The ensouled is distinguished from the unsouled by its being alive. Now since being alive is spoken of in many ways, even if only one of these is present, we say that the thing is alive, if, for instance, there is intellect or perception or spatial movement and rest or indeed movement connected with nourishment and growth and decay. It is for this reason that all the plants are also held to be alive . . .

But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West - superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.

Intellect is the sight which enables one to see through the external world, but the light of wisdom enables one to see through the external into the internal world.
