“When we start making distinctions between soul and spirit, we're in very, very murky waters. There is the whole issue of the English language, which has a rather limited vocabulary when it comes to psychological descriptions, not to speak of spiritual descriptions. We're good mythically - the English language is superb for myth. But we're not very good for psychology or spirituality.” SoulWholeSpiritualSpiritSpiritualitySpeakLanguageWaterIssuesPsychologyVery GoodMythPsychologicalDistinctionDescriptionVocabularyEnglish LanguageSuperbMurky Water Author:Jean Houston

Whatever sells, whatever many people believe strongly, must be true.” PeopleWorldBelieveWellsShowsMightFormReligionSpiritualityBeliefChallengesStepsPsychologyGroupsEvidenceAbuseSellsPopsBeing TrueFantasticIntensityTwelveDeclarationTestimonyBelievableTalk ShowsTrue ReligionVeracityVehemencePersonal Beliefs Author:Wendy Kaminer
