Soul has a history in the West. Much of that history became a part of the astrological interpretation of the soul. Unfortunately, those ideas have been overlaid so many times that the modern methods aren't a reliable guide to the richness of the astrological past. In this lecture, Dr. Lehman peels back the layers by beginning with ancient Greece and following the train of ideas, first through philosophers, and then into physicians. While the medical links may at first seem strange, when we remember that the soul was the means by which the immaterial mind communicated with the material body, the medical interest makes sense. What may end up being more surprising is how medical work ended up affecting even religious theories of soul. Sit back and enjoy this recounting of the genesis of soul - and reflect upon how this may enliven our understanding even today.
