Habit in the Moral Sphere

Conclusion: 
The moral sphere; the higher and purer regions of the mind and the heart coincides with the opening up within the soul of a world separate from the body.
Moral sphere uncovers spontaneity of desire found in the analysis of the motor habits; the habits of movement.

'' ... In the moral world the understanding distinguishes the end and the will proposes it, but it is neither the will nor the abstract understanding that can initially stir the powers of the soul at their source so as to push them towards the good. It is the good itself, at least the idea of the good, which descends into these depths, engendering love in them and raising that love up to itself." pp. 71(Of Habit)

Premises:

1. The soul has its own body

• The soul has its own life, destiny, and therefore its own goal to accomplish

     2. The soul separation into its own body and life illustrates the continuity of hierarchy of beings 

• The process happens by degrees, producing a superior life to which nature ceases aspiration  

     3. The moral life of the soul is the distinction between action and passion reflects as on the pursuit of Good and Evil; feelings of pleasure and pain which are emotions sensible to reflect on good and evil.

     4. The law of Habit operates in the moral sphere as it weakens physical sensations while resulting in a need for feeling. 

     5. Nature principle is Love; 

• Love expresses itself within each individual as a spontaneous desire for the good before the will
• The love within us can be identified as God within us.
