Inhabitants - of our inner world

01/24/2012

Studying human anatomy is a bit like enumerating and describing the different parts of a building. But this building is not empty, and there are various kinds of occupants. We harbour spiritual entities, of course, but also animals: reptiles, wildcats, birds, cattle, and so on. Obviously, they are not there physically, but they exist in the psyche in the form of instinctive impulses. And crammed into this building that each human being represents are all their ancestors as well, all the generations that preceded them. They are referred to by the abstract term ‘heredity’, but in reality these creatures living inside them are perfectly alive and pull them in all directions, good or bad. Yes, you should know this: many members of your family who have left the earth live in you and express themselves through you.
