“Here is a separation. Your heart, the park of you that feels. Your mind, the part of you that thinks. Your soul, the part of you that is. I almost never hear neuroscientists speak about the soul. Because of our work, we are often given to thinking about the part of humans that is the vital, inexplicable essence of ourselves, as the workings of our brain-- mysterious, elegant, essential. Everything we don't understand about what makes a person a person can be uncovered once we understand this organ. There is no separation. Our brains are our hearts that feel and our minds that think and our souls that are. But when I was a child I called this essence a soul and I believed in its supremacy over the mind and the heart, its immutability and connection to Christ himself.”

“Your body is like a kite. The space around you is the turbulent sky through which it is fluttering It is going where the wind of thoughts takes it. Leave this kite here. Don’t fight with the wind either. Just descend deep inside you and find your inner ground. Get hold of the string of awareness. It’s a magical string. You just have to watch the kite “and it will get out of the turbulent sky.”
