Great Russian Soul, Mystifying Russian Soul

​

 

This is my third book and my third visit to St Petersburg. Every time with the same goal, to find dushá; soul. Maybe I am looking for my own lost soul. If so, I think St Peterburg is the perfect place to go looking. So much light and so much human depth. 

 

According to Dostoyevsky

 

"The most basic, most rudimentary spiritual need of the Russian people is the need for suffering, 

ever-present and unquenchable, everywhere and in everything."

 

I can relate to that. I have the same need too, and when the shadow-work is done, I will go looking for the light.
