3. What is the three subsection of mind - subjective

The three sub - section of mind - subjective is:

i. Sub - section A. Anthropology, The Soul

Spirit (Mind) came into being as the truth of Nature. But not merely is it, as such a result, to be held the true and real first of what went before: this becoming or transition bears in the sphere of the notion the special meaning of 'free judgement'. Mind, thus come into being, means therefore that Nature in its own self realizes its untruth and sets itself aside: it means that Mind presupposes itself no longer as the universality which in corporal individuality is always self−externalized, but as a universality which in its concretion and totality is one and simple. At such a stage it is not yet mind, but soul.

ii. Sub - section B. Phenomenologyof Mind, Consciousness

Consciousness constitutes the reflected or correlational grade of mind: the grade of mind as appearance. Ego is infinite self−relation of mind, but as subjective or as self−certainty. The immediate identity of the natural soul has been raised to this pure 'ideal' self−identity; and what the former contained is for this self−subsistent reflection set forth as an object. The pure abstract freedom of mind lets go from it its specific qualities − the soul's natural life − to an equal freedom as an independent object. It is of this latter, as external to it, that the ego is in the first instance aware (conscious), and as such it is Consciousness. Ego, as this absolute negativity, is implicitly the identity in the otherness: the ego is itself that other and stretches over the object (as if that object were implicitly cancelled) − it is one side of the relationship and the whole.

iii. Sub - section C. Psychology, Mind

Mind has defined itself as the truth of soul and consciousness − the former a simple immediate totality, the latter now an infinite form which is not, like consciousness, restricted by that content, and does not stand in mere correlation to it as to its object, but is an awareness of this substantial totality, neither subjective nor objective. Mind, therefore, starts only from its own being and is in correlation only with its own features.
