Impressions
The animal spirit is the virtue perceptive resulting from the admixture and absorption of the vital elements generated in the heart, which apprehend sense-impressions. The human spirit consists of the rational, or logical, reasoning faculty, which apprehends general ideas and things intelligible and perceptible . . . for these . . . spirits there is no restitution or "return," but they are subordinate to reversions and production and corruption.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 370
