The universe is not dead matter, but full of life and meaning. To him, as to Emerson, nature is divine and an emblem of God. Whitman shares the Romantic poet's relationship with nature. To Whitman, all matter is as divine as the soul since the body is as sacred and as spiritual as the soul, when he sings of the body or its performances, he is singing a spiritual chant. He thought that we could comprehend the soul only through the medium of the body. Whitman is a poet of both these elements in man, the body and the soul. Whitman is constantly talking about "I," but the "I" is universal, a part of the Divine, and therefore not egotistic. Whitman's critics have sometimes confused the concept of self with egotism, but this is not valid. The self is a portion of the one Divine Soul. The self is man's individual identity, his distinct quality and being, which is different from the selves of other men, although it can identify with them. To Whitman, the complete self is both physical and spiritual. Third, he wanted to give poetical expression to his thoughts on life's great, enduring mysteries - birth, death, rebirth or resurrection, and reincarnation. Second, he wanted to eulogize democracy and the American nation with its achievements and potential. Whitman's major concern was to explore, discuss, and celebrate his own self, his individuality and his personality.

But I didn’t write much on my own-just some poetry now and then. That praise sent me off to Northwestern University feeling like I was a pretty good writer, and occasionally professors there also encouraged me and complimented the essays I was required to write as a literature major. And she’d also written in large, scrawly red writing, “Andrew-this poem is so funny. First, I’d gotten an A-a rare event in this teacher’s class. Two things were amazing about that paper.

In Between Death and Life, Cannon interviews a woman in regression and the woman explains the concept of imprinting. I understand that material can be reintroduced in multiple books when an author has many books. The problem is that this same conversation took place verbatim in Between Death and Life, the third book of hers that I read. He explains it to her in great detail and she claims she has never heard of this concept before and states it is very difficult to understand but that it explains, for example, why many claim to have been Cleopatra in another life.
