22.26

If this analogy is considered exhaustive, it is not exhaustive. If it is said to have been inherently non-exhaustive, then it cannot serve as an analogy. If the body is the spirit and the spirit is the body, the two supporting each other so that by principle neither can perish unilaterally, then on the day the person dies, the body should also vanish. Yet now the conscious spirit has perished while the insentient body remains. This shows that the spirit was originally not the body, and the body was originally not the spirit; nor can they forcibly be made into one.
