Recovering The Soul
by Larry Dossey MD
The over arching theme Dossey is what he refers to as the non local mind. A concept whereby you mind is not fully resident inside your head but draws from a nonlocal source, the Universe/God. The structure of the book is very academic where he introduces his thesis statement in the first third of the book. The second third of the book provides the science behind the thesis statement. In the last third he delves into the spiritual aspect, which actually make it real/true. The book resonated with me as I once wrote the following poem.
The
W’holy Instant
W’holy instant; merely an extreme moment
Of which
every moment of time should be,
Its meaning discovers
the truth in Oneness.
Mankind, all
integral pieces of the whole.
Let truth be just
that, as a blooming rose.
Willfully accepting truth as the goal
In relationship
with your fellow man,
You emerge as a
giver of peace then
Know the universe
provides in kind.
This is your only
blooming purpose.
Give as you shall
receive, radiant
In inspiration in
the nature of Us
Transcending
earthly perceptions,
With
their accompanying illusions
That hold one in
ultimate fear.
The truth is
not of your mind
But of the
universe unfolding
Of which you are
One with.
With this
knowledge, yours
At peace,
complete, Whole
