. Aperson, that his soul is his driving force- appears to the others as if he has nobackbone and can easil be crashed. And indeed, the power of the soul, in a world thatis devoid of a soul, is similar to the power of a sharp and re$ned lawer, who is $ghtingwith nothing but his words against armed warriors. And so, when it comes to survival,those who represent the soul, in this soulless world, live a di0cult and tragic life. Theare forced to conceal and hide their true identit, or else the will be crushed ands1uashed “ust like grapes# under the feet of the others.
%. &oul and technology:
Technolog is the greatest antithesis to the soul. )t signs the end of the soul. There is afundamental and an essential contradiction between the two. !ne must wonder howthis massive technolog takeover took place.2id we discover technolog the minute we lost touch with the soul, !r perhaps it wasthe discover of technolog that made us lose connection with the soul3
This is almost a rhetorical 1uestion. )t seems obvious that a man connected to his soul,will not seek for technolog. Technolog, in a wa, is crutches for the soul4invalids5+o, what is she like3
+he is wide, without the urge to spread. +he is complete, without the need to expand.6ontent without a desire to concur, ful$lled without a sense of dissatisfaction. +he isthere on her own virtues. +he exists simpl because she is present. The technologicalman ceases to exist in the absence of technolog. 7is center of gravit has beenshifted awa from his soul, into the technolog which he himself created, and now heis attached to “computers, airplanes, arti$cial light, newspapers, industriali(ed food,telephones, television- all of it#.
!echnology is the sophisticated attire that conceals the poverty o the soul.
‘. !he language o the soul:
The language of the soul is delicate, insinuated. The soul communicates through eecontact, silences. Through relating to subtexts.7er language is the language of the smbol and the allegor. To communicat
she usesanalogies and metaphors
.According to 2avid 2awson, allegor is a metaphor that developed into a narrative. )tsounds dierent then what it reall is. The allegor creates distance between theimmediate interpretation of the text, and its hidden intent.Allegoric interpretation of a text must be radical, and that is because it reveals itsinner laer, in which the soul exists.
The wa of allegoric is in a runabout wa, indirectl. The soul cannot be perceived in a direct and linear manner. +he communicates in awa that is subtle and insinuated. +he is not linear in her nature. 7er language is theopposite of the tangible spoken language. +he is seeking out the space between andaround words. The space inside words. 8ou can $nd her there. That is her habitat.
+ilence and space are not emptiness in her ees. )t is a place to sta. An invitation tobe.)n our public mind we know that in order to be heard we must raise our voice, but
inthe world o soul( in order to be heard# you need to turn down the volume. !he body is shouting# the mind is arguing# and the soul whispers
. The soul dislikes talking. /ven through metaphors.+he would rather reverberates to the other part through her own presence.)n order to create reverberation ou must be tuned to the same fre1uenc as theother. All the souls are tuned on exactl the same fre1uenc, so if there is another soulon sight, communication will emerge without eort. “if the soul is the center of gravitof that person#, )t is the same with birds- the all sing the same song with dawn, inperfect harmon, because the are tuned on the same fre1uenc.9everberating with another soul is not being alone. )t is to step out of the prison, andnot onl for a stroll, but to reall be a part of the endless and magical world of soul-communication. )t is an entrance to a primal paradise, when the fruits of the gardenare all painted in one color: the color of humanit.All of this exists. )t is present, and et, so distant. !nl one dimension awa. A heartbeat awa. The fact is that our soul is a prisoner inside us. This prisoner is closer to usin a wa we will never be.+he is the forth dimension. !nl in her, and through her, inner life “real life# can takeplace.
