Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Namaste, Recently we discussed deep sleep in a rather academic manner. The following advertisement for a book called The Sacred Unconscious puts it in a new light for me. The author, famed scholar Huston Smith, says that in deep sleep we actually encounter the divine and receive rejuvenation, without which we could not proceed with life. Somehow this idea of a nightly encounter with the infinite fascinates me. Here is the page http://www.fonsvitae.com/sacredhuston.html and here is a quote "And, he recounts his own transforming experience of this place of Beauty, Bliss, and Joy, which each of us knows in dreamless sleep. Were the mind, body, and soul not re-charged or 'healed' every night by direct contact with the Divine, we could not endure our lives." I guess this means another book to read! Hari Om!
