Spiritual Psyche, Living Psyche ... a Reverie

What is a spiritual psyche, and what does it mean to be or have one? What distinguishes a living psyche from a relatively dead one? The author considers key characteristics of psyche’s nature and dynamics, contrasting our physical material world with the experiential worlds of psyche and spirit. Four touchstones are explored: rhythm, no beginning or end, reversal, and mystery. Parallels, overlaps, and distinctions between psyche and soma are considered, along with psyche’s capacities for intuition, imagination, and creativity that elude even the most sophisticated computers.
