The Nature of Trees is a spiritual journey that examines the relationship between the ego and the soul along one's life path.
Excerpt from The Nature of Trees:
From my own experience, I would suggest that there are really three aspects of the self. Each is distinct from the others, but only when they are brought together is the self complete.
First, I would say, there is the Ego.
Second, there is the Soul.
And third, there is the Path.
The Ego is the portion of our self that exists only in this world. It perceives the world around you and your body as being the only reality. It is more than your personality, but is certainly not the totality of who you are. It sometimes appears to have many voices. Perhaps those voices were what you were trying to number. I should suspect its capacity for disguise is almost limitless, but beneath each of those disguises, there is only one Ego.
The Soul is the portion of the self that transcends the physical world. It neither perceives nor is affected by the world around you. It neither perceives nor is bound to your body.
The Path is the place where you have balance between the Ego and the Soul.
