Unity of mind, body, soul, spirit is necessary for our thriving, for actualising our potentials, for living a truly human life. We all bear the potential 'megalopsychia', to be an exemplar. As part of our being humans we can equally flourish physically, mentally, and spiritually. In order to actualise our true selves, those of us engaged with the life of mind need to explore the life of body and vice versa. Because we cannot excel in one field if we ignore another dimension of our existence.
