But with administrative organization, theological interpretation, dogma and ritualization, experience of the numinous is more mediated than direct, and that which nurtures the soul can dry up and disappear. Renowned religion scholar Huston Smith explores the roots of soul in the numinous experience and examines the soul&#8217;s viability in the soil of contemporary organized religion. He also discusses the role science has played in shaping Western concepts of soul.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/audio\/demos\/Smith-Viability-of-Soul-DEMO.mp3\">Click Here to Listen to a Sample<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><audio controls=\"controls\"><source src=\"https:\/\/jungchicago.org\/audio\/demos\/Smith-Viability-of-Soul-DEMO.mp3\" type=\"audio\/mp3\" \/>Your browser does not support the audio element.<\/audio><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Huston Smith.<br \/>\n\u24c5 CG Jung Institute of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audio<br \/>\n1 hour 18 minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6552,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"pwb-brand":[480],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[524,523],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6551","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","pwb-brand-smith-huston","product_cat-audio-downloads","product_cat-downloads","member-discount","discount-restricted","first","instock","downloadable","virtual","sold-individually","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>On the Viability of Soul in Contemporary Organized Religion - Smith<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Renowned religion scholar Huston Smith explores the roots of soul in the numinous experience and examines the soul&#039;s viability in the soil of contemporary organized religion.
