Abstract

The author does not believe that all of psychology must fit into the narrow boundaries accepted by mainstream reductionist and rationalistic science. Jungian Psychology validates the awareness of spirit. This chapter explains how the soul has the ability to interact with the physical body and how mediums and psychics receive their information—both of these happen through the spiritual body. The author believes that the small voice in our head comes from our soul through the unconscious where our soul resides. The author offers that the law of polarity seeks to balance us with positive or negative reactions to our energy or electrical field. This law works with our vibrations and our thoughts. In this way, thoughts are very real things that affect us floating between the two worlds in our dreams and when we are awake. It is suggested that we all receive vibrational frequencies through our vagus nerve, what Darwin called the pneumogastric nerve in the 1870s.
