A quote from the site
Just as the mind is an instrument of the Soul, so the brain is an instrument of the mind in physical life. It receives information via the senses and so it is like a receiving station. It gives orders, and impresses, influences and affects others, and becomes like a transmitting station.
Not only do they include the higher self, they also include the astral body, and they explain that it's electromagnetic that remembers all emotions, thoughts and actions.
