Description

What’s the difference between soul, psyche, ego, spirit, mind, and heart?These words get thrown around, but they point to distinct (and sometimes overlapping) layers of being. In this episode, I offer an intro to how we might begin to make sense of them.Soul is the bridge between spirit and matter, between the infinite and the embodied. It resonates through psyche, experienced as emotion, image, sensation. Ego is our organizing principle of selfhood. Not inherently bad, just structured for survival. Heart is the space beyond defense, our inner compass, our connecting center. And spirit is pure consciousness: that which animates, observes, and transcends.

This is a starting point on this and much more to come!
