The body: human, mortal, multiform, unintelligible, soluble, permanently changing (everything is changing --> heraclitus) The soul: divine, deathless, intelligible, uniform, indissoluble, permanent (everything is the same --> pythagoras) When you"re approaching an object, approach it with thoughts only.

Dragging nothing body w it --> makes its way to the invisible land.
