Carl Jung on the human soul
A friend of mine gave me a copy of a book titled "The Reincarnationist" by M.J. Rose, and at the beginning of the book there is this quote from Carl Jung:
I simply believe that some part of the human self or soul is not subject to the laws of space and time.
That's a wonderful quote that I would like to adjust just slightly:
I simply believe that some part of the human self or soul is not subject to the laws of space and time as we know them today.
Leo Tolstoy's "The Three Hermits"
While on my retreat last week I finished a book titled Autobiography of a Yogi, and in that book the author shares a summary of the story The Three Hermits by Leo Tolstoy, and I'd like to share an even more abridged version of that story here:
On an island there lived three old hermits. They were very simple people, and didn't know complicated prayers. In fact they knew only one: "We are three, Thou art Thee, have mercy on us." In spite of this one and only prayer, the hermits were said to have created many great miracles.
My senses changing even more after a yoga retreat
It has been a week now since I came back from my yoga retreat, and I want to write some notes here before I get sucked up into the business world and too far away from my feelings at the end of this trip.
I can’t seem to describe this properly, but my mini-enlightenment from last weekend — including discussions with very nice yoga students — involves how the Spiritual I (possibly “the soul”) relates to the Physical I, and from there to the rest of the physical universe.
