4It may be called Lower Spirit or Lower Mind.
5The Lower Spirit be the flesh and body of form;
6The Lower Mind be the pathway of feelings and learning through form;
7The Lower Mind be mortal to form.

9It may be called Higher Spirit or Higher Mind.
10The Higher Spirit be the will of the man or woman;
11The Higher Mind be the character and honor of the man or woman;
12The Higher Mind be immortal.
13When Spirit has lived in the Great Dreaming through more than one form;
14When Spirit chooses the form into which it wishes to live;
15It may be called Divine Spirit or Divine Mind,
16Connected then to Higher Spirit or Higher Mind;
17Connected then to Lower Spirit or Lower Mind.

23When family and law and right ceremony is honored,
