Dem.: An imagination is an idea by which the Mind considers a thing as present (see its Def. in IIP17 S), which nevertheless indicates the present constitution of the human Body more than the nature of the external thing (by IIP16 C2).

So (by P21) only while the body endures is the Mind subject to affects which are related to passions, q.e.d.
