So, what is the purpose of the Church?
The purpose of the Church is to heal our soul and from sickness make it healthy again.
I think, up to this point things are quite simple.
The energy of our soul is called noetic energy. This is the term our Holy Fathers use. When this noetic energy is (operates) inside our heart, they call it nous (hence, no-etic). When it is (and operates) in our brain, they called it logic (λογική, reason) or intellect (διάνοια).
Both our nous and our intellect are two different manifestations of the energy of our soul, an energy expressed each time in a different way, depending on the region it happens to be located. Logic (reason), which is manifested in the region of the brain, is used by us humans to produce thoughts and formulate orally and in writing various things conceived and experienced by our nous, who is located, as already mentioned, in our heart.
