“For the most part, of course, the presence of the great spiritual universe surrounding us is no more noticed by us than the pressure of air on our bodies, or the action of light. Our field of attention is not wide enough for that; our spiritual senses are not sufficiently alert. Most people work so hard at developing their correspondence with the visible world, that their power of correspondence with the invisible is left in a rudimentary state.” PeopleWorldHardStatesEnoughBodyLightActionSpiritualUniverseCoursesLeftAttentionSeeingAirFieldsPressureWideSensesInvisibleDevelopingVisibleCorrespondenceGreat Spiritual Author:Evelyn Underhill
“The very problem of mind and body suggests division; I do not know of anything so disastrously affected by the habit of division as this particular theme. In its discussion are reflected the splitting off from each other of religion, morals and science; the divorce of philosophy from science and of both from the arts of conduct. The evils which we suffer in education, in religion, in the materialism of business and the aloofness of "intellectuals" from life, in the whole separation of knowledge and practice -- all testify to the necessity of seeing mind-body as an integral whole.” KnowsMindArtPhilosophyWholeProblemBodySufferingEvilMoralPracticeSeeingParticularHabitDivorceSeparationDiscussionThemeMaterialismAffectedDivisionMind And BodyMind BodySplittingAloofness Author:John Dewey

“Being natural and matter-of-fact about nudity prevents your children from developing an attitude of shame or disgust about the human body.

“Nobody likes to see a body, but it's better than seeing a ghost. Bodies just make you doubt the world and the people in it.
