According to Dr Christine Page: “This body [the mental body] is the seat of the will of the soul; the starting point from which the soul can attempt to integrate its intelligence with that of the personality.”

“It is the seat of logic or analytical thought.”

“It is the place where the impulses of the higher self, under the guidance of the universal laws, pass from the soul and are transformed into thoughtforms and then action.”

However, the mental body can’t work alone in spirituality. Dr Page wrote: “The soul’s assessment is based on Intuition which is influenced by the power to discriminate. Pure logic tends to rely on judgment which is usually biased in favor of the personality.”

“When man is purely identifying with his mental body, there is little impact  from the soul’s energy.”

This may explain why I had a mild stroke in 2012. Based on a personality test I took in the Internet this week, I moved from being an ISTJ to an INTJ. I lost my sensing function and replaced it with Intuition.

My personality with its extreme creativity (Intuition) exacerbated my abhorrence for structures especially religious/cultural ones. My personality clashed so much with my spirit. My body could not take it.
