Volume 4: Ourselves, Our Souls and Bodies Book I, Introductory, Chapter I “The Country of Mansoul”

“But for the uneasy young soul, whose chief business in life is the navigation of an unknown craft, some knowledge of the carrying and sailing powers of the vessel is not only beneficent in itself, but is a relief from the obsession of that tiresome other self–the subjective self, we have called it–of which we become aware in that day when we eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge, and leave the paradise of the unconscious child.“
