1896-, German Psychologist, Philosopher
Age / Ageing
If we mature as we grow older, hear true nature's voice, and are focused on growing, then our future horizons are not narrowed by age, but extended. We are old when we have no future left, but maturing keeps us young, since growing old makes it steadily easier to leave nonessentials behind and focus on the one thing that matters: perfecting ourselves as a medium for the great Life within us as it drives toward manifestation of itself.
The Call for the Master , Vincent Nash, tr., 1989
Being / Essence / Soul
As soon as we start looking through the outer and visible to the inner and invisible and trying to see how form and meaning relate, most of the old body/soul dichotomy vanishes. The soul then becomes the body's meaning, and the body the expression of the soul.
