1.
Living in the cognitive realm you cannot understand what resides in the emotional realm.
Living in the physical realm you cannot experience living in the emotional realm.
Living emotionally you are unable to understand living spiritually.
Living in the spiritual realm you cannot understand living in the cognitive realm.
Living in the physical realm you will not live in the spiritual realm.
This is true for all the combinations.
2.
Yet living solely in the cognitive realm you will be blind also to the cognitive realm.
In the emotional realm you will be deaf to emotions.
In the spiritual realm you will be blind to spirit.
In the physical realm you will be mute to physical experience.
To experience one realm alone you must be open to all realms.
3.
It is incorrect to say, following Jung, that ‘mankind’ is in search of a soul.
For humanity – man and woman, kind – is in search of a body for its soul.
A mind for its body.
Emotions for its mind and its body.
Humanity searches for lived experience in a world deadened to it.
The human corpus and anima entire.
Where?
Wherever. We can be sure it’s not ‘in here’.
But somewhere ‘out there’.
