| The soul is the essence
of any one or any thing. The "spiritual soul"
is that aspect of soul through which we experience the
divine, the mystery of life, a greater whole. It is
the bridge between our personality, in its physical
manifestation, and the divine. The process of becoming
more soul conscious is one of relating and identifying
with the three essential qualities of Truth, Beauty,
and Goodness. These are expressed as Empowerment, Love
and Light. These qualities transcend the dualities we
live in where we usually identify with one or other
pole: Empowerment transcends the duality of power-over/power-under
(or victim/perpetrator); Love, as expressed in compassion,
courage and unconditional love, transcends love/fear
and love/hate; and Light, through inclusive thinking,
transcends us/them thinking, such as racial or gender
prejudice.
When we are connected with and moved
by these aspects of soul, life has purpose. Living that
purpose brings meaning to what we do and connects us
to a larger whole. Being directed by our soul purpose
is often revealed as a passion, is inherently joyful,
and is of service to others. Soul always encourages
us to manifest in new and creative ways; no sooner do
we settle into a way of being then we are 'asked' to
open to new ways and to new perceptions. Soul seeks
relationships that are equal, collaborative and synergistic
- soul partnerships. We are authentic, authors of our
own lives, when moving with Soul.
Many people in our present Western
culture are disconnected from this felt sense of being
- so disconnected that many are also not aware of this
inner energy and sense of direction that has been variously
named as the "inner teacher," "inner
guide," "true self," "inner light,"
and "spark of the divine," to name a few from
some spiritual traditions.
While this website is here to act as
a guide and to assist you in connecting with soul, it
is the soul that is your guide to your living a life
of purpose and meaning. By stopping and being present,
paying tender attention to our inner depths, we contact
that soul guidance. |
