    Baha'i Faith - Relationship between the mind and the soul

    In the Baha'i Faith the soul (human spirit) is distinctly separate from the mind. The mind is the product of the brain, and the spirit is the light of the lamp.

    But the the soul and mind do interact with each other - correct? So the immaterial has an effect on the material.

    Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

      Yes, the mind is like a window to the soul. As for the mind, it is the power of the human spirit. The spirit is as the lamp, and the mind as the light that shines from it.

          Unsure of the interpretation here, but reason and faith are likely attributes of the soul. The spirit is equivalent to the soul and the soul is distinct and separate from the mind.

            so there is a soul and a mind-force? Is the soul singular (one/collective) or a plural (many/individual) ?

              Each individual has a soul, singular. Mind-force equivalent to the mind.
