SKIN OF HUMAN BODY
A symbol of the outer envelope of the soul, which
is the means of functioning upon the astral or physical plane.
"The interior man is 'clothed with skin and flesh' (JOB x. 9), since
wherein it is raised up to things above, it is straightly blockaded
with the besieging of fleshly motions. And hast fenced me with bones
and sinews.' With flesh and skin we are clothed, but we are fenced
with bones and sinews,' in that though we receive a shock by
temptation assaulting us from without, yet the hand of the Creator
strengthens us within, that we should not be shattered. And so by
the promptings of the flesh, He abases us in respect of His gifts,
but by the bones of virtue He strengthens us against temptations." -
ST. GREGORY, Morals on the Book of Job, Vol. I. p. 552.
