Vera Kohn: Return to the Wholeness
Born in 1912, Dr. Vera Kohn, escaped from Prague before the outbreak of WWII just as Nazi Germany was invading Czechoslovakia, and along with her family made her way to Quito, Ecuador where many Jews found refuge. Vera has been a practicing psychologist for more than 45 years, a teacher of Zen Buddhism for 40 years, and in the 1960's she founded The Center for Integral Development to provide a place where the study of the mind, body and spirit could come together. Vera is also a leader in the organic food movement in Ecuador and runs an organic farm just outside the the city of Quito.

globaloneness project "Return to the Wholeness" This new creation, that is the oneness that brings the opposites together. [Vera Kohn Quito, Ecuador, Psychologist, Zen teacher] It a the child. A child is never the addition of Papa and Mama. It is a new form. And this new form is what -- what is the message of this, of this interview. That it is the constant creation of a new form. And this new form is one in all the world. Doesn't matter if it is in India, if it is through the Suffie way, through the Jewish ways, through the Muslim ways, through the Islam, through... It doesn't matter. There is only one law -- one law in the world. And the law is of non-permanence. And...we can go towards this law through economic or through medicine or biology or religion or what people call spirituality. It doesn't matter, but there is only one thing that is moving the ocean. And we are like one wave on this, in this enormous, infinite, infinite forms of waves. And we, we show up, and then we go back to the wholeness. We came from the wholeness - from the oneness - and we go back to the oneness. There's one very interesting quote in Zen philosophy, in Zen practice; "Where have you been before father and mother met?" And that's why we go back. We all have been there, but we don't know it. And we always divide the world into pieces...into little pieces. And we think that this camera, for instance, is isolated from, from the wholeness. It is isolated because it has no, no consciousness, but if you go into the deep consciousness, there is no separateness. It can't be. www.globalonenessproject.org
