I did note with interest one of the verses that was referenced in one of the articles you mentioned, Mark 12:30:

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

Heart, soul, mind, and strength. This would mean that, according to the LC teaching, in that verse Jesus is telling us to love God with:

-our whole soul plus 1/3 of our spirit (heart)
-our whole soul (soul)
-1/3 of our soul (mind)
-some % of our body (strength)

It would make no sense for Jesus to tell us to love God but leave 2/3 of our spirit (the main organ to contact God according to the LC, remember) out of it.

I personally doubt Nee/Lee got this teaching right, but look forward to reading others' thoughts.
please stop guessing and stick to the scripture

the spirit have the mind, how does it mind is only within the soul? if it can't be separated, don't do it.
