A Question of Soul
The Wisdom of the Soul
Each
one of us holds within a wisdom that has not come from any book or been
taught in any school. It is a wisdom of truth and of knowing and it is
held deep within. Asked how we know, we answer, we simply know, there
is no logic, there is no explanation, there just is, and it is this is,
that guides us throughout our lives and it is our Soul.
As
people having been born at this time on the Earth where materialized
styles of living have become applauded, we find ourselves slowly from
birth being socialized into the ethos of ownership, separation and a
belief in lack. We learn to believe in and give value where no value
exists, and we learn to trust in a way of life and existence that does
not resonate with who we are. Our inner most knowing strives to
maintain our truth but life as we learn to believe in counter acts this
knowing and blocks us from fulfilling our life path.This inner knowing
of our 'Soul Self' continues to call to us, but it often contradicts
our manifested reality, and so in desperation and confusion we turn it
off. We say to ourselves - there is no point giving room for my Soul
to breath, this is Life, isn’t it?
Fear of Lack Imprisons the Mind
Fear
of the imagined lack we have learned to believe in imprisons the mind
to believe in its existence, yet there is no lack in the universe. The
only lack that exists is in our own minds. We in turn grow up, from
baby to child to adolescent to adult, forming and joining groups and
societies that promote separation and isolation of organic wholeness
and in this process we lose ourselves, and it is no surprise. Modernity
has thrived on people being shackled to holograms of what they should
prosper to be, and on attaining values and identity of who you are,
based on what you do, what you have accumulated, where you live and how
you speak. We learn to treat each other as separate, and in turn we
learn to treat our own parts of ourselves as separate. In short we
loose touch with who we are and we forget why we came to this Earth in
the first place.
The Heart / Mind, Soul / Spirit Separation
Growing
up in this environment naturally leads us to disconnect, and over the
course of our lives we develop splits and separations within ourselves
and with our own truth. The most common separation among people in
contemporary society is with the Heart and the Mind. The growing
emphasis on the hierarchy of the Mind has led to the Heart becoming
something to be controlled, even denied. Placing such restrictions on
matters of Heart lead to people becoming disconnected, split and lost
in themselves. Sometimes this separation becomes so sever that the two
parts learn to work in complete opposition to each other. The Heart
feels so much and the Mind thinks so much, yet often each act in a
state of not knowing what the other is doing, or why it is doing what
it is. This not knowing often occurs with the two parts functioning at
a level of impatient intolerance with the other.
Add
to this the loss of a connection with Spirit and Soul and you find that
it is no mystery that a lot of human beings live their lives in
disharmony with themselves, being thrown from one state to the other, living a life in confusion and bewilderment at what they truly want,
what will make and keep them happy, what they’re doing with their lives
and what they’re not.
Creating Harmony in Your Life
You cannot have harmony in your life if you do not have harmony in
yourself. So even with the most basic level of separations, be it the
Heart / Mind split and or the Spirit / Soul Separation you will find
yourself living in a whirl of confusion, possible guilt, anguish,
despair and conflict, and when in conflict you are in battle, only in
this war the enemy is yourself. If this holds true for you, you will
find you spend most of your life working against yourself instead of
for yourself and this is simply because you do not Know yourself in all
your parts. You may find you follow certain paths only to discover at
the
end of it that it is not the path you were looking for. You search for
paths but really what you are looking for is yourself and your Truth.
Life
in
all its joys and complexities teaches us how to disconnect. Not
knowing how to reclaim ourselves we keep going forward in whatever
direction we seem to be pointed, whether that direction is what we
truly want or not, this is also true on a collective consciousness
level and on a planetary level. Taking stock of ourselves and slowing
down long
enough to see, is the only way we can begin to step out and create the
life we truly desire and aspire to live.
Reclaiming Your Truth
The answer to reclaiming your
Truth is simple, just stop. Stop battling with yourself, stop ignoring
yourself and start listening. You and all your parts have all the
answers. You can live your life blind, hiding from yourself, or you can
choose to want to open your eyes and see. Going within, with Heart,
gives your Soul air to breathe and unfolds your own divine wisdom so
that you can heal yourself and follow your own unique guidance. Healing
awakens Spirit and frees your Mind to follow the journey of your Soul.
We
all have the power to create a heaven here on Earth, the first step is
simply a stepping back, back into ourselves and back into our Truth.
