Atma = higher self; Paramatma = Mind; Ishvara = World Mind. Overself--all three generalized (preferred by Hiriyanna). Jiva = individual . . . (Tony's Center) "souls . . . behind the physicomental complex commonly called the individual . . . the eternal consciousness (Atman) as limited by the organism . . . the sense-organ, the manas, and the antahkarana."
