This description, besides being illogical in Avicennian geometry, is inconsistent with the thought of other classical philosophers, because the Sheikh considers the state of souls to be "simple," meaning they either possess happiness or misery.
Second, since they possessed physical forms that prevent the attainment of absolute eternal felicity, they will experience painful suffering and agony; however, an important point that Ibn Sina refers is that these forms are not "essential or substantial" for the human soul, but rather they have happened to it.
