一灵真性，既落乾宫，便分魂魄。魂在天心，阳也，轻清之炁也。此自太虚得来，与元始同形。魄，阴也，沉浊之气也，附于有形之凡心。魂好生，魄望死。一切好色动气，皆魄之所为，即识神也。死后享血食，活则大苦，阴返阴也，物以类聚也。学人炼尽阴魄，即为纯阳也。
The one effective, true human nature(logos united with vitality), when it descends into the house of the Creative, divides into animus and anima.The animus is I the heavenly heart.It is of the nature of light; it is the power of lightness and purity.It is that which we have received from the great emptiness, that which is identical in form with the primordial beginning.The anima partakes of the nature of the dark.It is the energy of the heavy and the turbid; it is bound to the bodily fleshly heart.The animus loves life.The anima seeks death.All sensuous desires and impulses of anger are effects of the anima; it is the conscious spirit which after death is nourished on blood, but which, during life, is in greatest distress.The dark returns to darkness and like things attract each other according to their kind.But the pupil understands how to distil the dark anima completely so that it transforms itself into pure light(yang).
此章大义，详述元神识神为主宰人身气化之权柄。祖师曰：人生如蜉蝣，惟元神秉性，能超出天地轮回劫运之外。夫真性者，出于无极，禀太极之元炁，而成受天地之性，为识神；得父母之性，为元神。而元神无识无知，能主生身之造化；识神最显最灵，能应机无停，为人心之主宰，在身则为魂，出身则为鬼。唯一元神，随身之有元，从受胎以得其身，凝于无极之中。
In this part there is described the role played by the primal spirit and the conscious spirit in the making of the human body.The Master says, The life of man is like that of a mayfly: only the true human nature of the primal spirit can transcend the cycle of heaven and earth and the fate of the aeons.The true human nature proceeds from that which has no polarity [the ultimate] whereby it takes the true essence of heaven and earth into itself and becomes the conscious spirit.As primal spirit it receives its human nature from father and mother.This primal spirit is without consciousness and knowledge, but is able to regulate the formative processes of the body.The conscious spirit is very evident and very effective, and can adapt itself unceasingly.It is the ruler of the human heart.As long as it stays in the body it is the animus.After its departure from the body it becomes spirit.While the body is entering into existence, the primal spirit has not yet formed an embryo in which it could incorporate itself.Thus it crystallizes itself in the non-polarized free One.
