• How this is possible is, first, by being, literally, several in a single body. “We are twelve in my body.

• Body', 'soul', and 'spirit' may designate phenomenal domains which can be detached as themes for definite investigations; within certain limits their ontological indefiniteness may not be important.

And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed.
