All objective and subjective thoughts are products of the mind and therefore are different from the Soul. In other words, Soul has an independent identity of its own beyond the mind and its qualities and attributes.
Let us examine how the Soul exists independent of the mind. Numerous emotional impulses like animosity, anger, maternal or paternal love, jealousy, hatred, elation, dejection, etc are endlessly arising in the mind. Your 'I'- the Inner-Self or Aham can differentiate, examine, analyze or discard each of these.
This 'Aham' can also observe the state of their origin, maximum intensity and end. After practicing this introspection for a few days, the seeker will become so adept in this process, as though the object of observation were some other person.
All such impulses are part of contemplative observation. Their nature can be examined threadbare and impact assessed from all angles. Thus the seer 'I' or observer is a different entity than the observed objects - the body or mind.
Visualizing the Inner-Self (Soul) in this way will make it easier to comprehend. The very fact that the creations of mind are being examined separately means that these are not part of your real Self the 'I'. With practice, this perception of separateness will continue becoming stronger and stronger and ultimately an abiding uninterrupted expression.
Through this exercise, the seeker is experiencing and developing a conviction that the 'I' who is using the intellect and its powers, the 'I' which considers the mind and its powers as its implements, is the master of the mind.
