And again they must not demand that all human beings be good nor, because this is not possible, should they be so eager to censure the things here in the expectation that they should differ in no way from those higher things; and they should simply think of 'evil' as a deficiency in wisdom, that is, an inferior and always diminishing [good] , just as one might say that nature is 'evil', because it is not sense-perception, and that the faculty of sense-perception is 'evil',
because it is not reason. Otherwise, these men will be forced to say that evil exists in the intelligible world, too. For in the intelligible world, Soul is worse than Intellect, and Intellect is also inferior to something else.

This is were you drop to your knees and ask for mercy from Ananke.

Mind = soul, who, the person, passions, feeling, urges; calculation, searching, dialectics
Spirit = understanding, intuition, will, love, knowledge
Spirit (Nous) is the higher nature of Soul (psyche), or one could say that Soul is the reflexive Spirit. Just as Nous is the heart (core) of our being, the subject-object (in relation to thought that is), while still being both. Soul differentiates itself from objects, viewing itself as other than it (Nous becoming the itness of thought), when in reality the true you is the 'present' before difference, difference constantly arising. Thoughts, in a way, come from your past.
Thinking is a constant self-distinction with what arises as being our thought, thoughts then being projections from the soul.

This reflects the entire process of reality. Nous as a unity of subject and object is an image of our true self forever inaccessible, yet there here somewhere, now? Right now, swoosh its gone! where my present at?
