The soul is a princess, and the body is really its servant. The soul reigns the whole body because it enlivens it.  When someone has a negative thought or deed, this is as bitter for the soul as poison for the body, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BODY ACCEPTS THE NEGATIVITY. To the contrary the soul delights in goodness, just as the body delights in delicious food.  The soul passes through the body like sap through a tree. It is through sap that the tree grows, produces flowers and fruit.
