| The Soul |
| This page really should be titled "Us" as we don't "have" Souls we "are" Souls. We are all Souls, eternal ethereal beings that currently inhabit what we call our bodies. We are beings in bodies and not the other way round. We have always Been but not always in these bodies, We always Will Be, but not always in these bodies. For ease of understanding though, I will refer to us Soul-beings as the Soul or our Soul. Our Soul is our Essence of Being that experiences the physical through our Physical body. We need a body with ears to hear, eyes to see, touch to feel, taste buds to taste and a nose to smell, to experience the whole myriad of experiences associated with a Physical Life. We need our Physical life to experience the emotions at this level that include happiness and despair, anger, elation, attachment etc, etc, and, above all, Love. Throughout the Life Experience, we, the Souls remain connected to Source, or the Divine, through that part that never loses contact and which we call the Higher Self. The Soul enters the physical body with a purpose, to reach Enlightenment, Spiritual Enlightenment. It also has a chosen Life Experience or Sacred/Spiritual Path that it intends to follow in order to fulfill a particular Enlightenment Experience. Unforunately this Path is hidden from us as, at birth, we have no memory or recollection of why we are here. Or is it unfortunate? If we Knew, it wouldn't be fun finding out! It could be argued that due to freewill our paths do not, of course, always follow the "Best Case Scenario". In which case we may sometimes become distracted, make decisions based on the influences and judgements of others and find ourselves asking why we have ended up in a particular situation. When this happens, we should look carefully at past situations and decisions made and then decide not to make similar "mistakes" in the future. We also have to identify why the decisions were "wrong" and the direction we now wish to follow. Often, the changes we need to make are simple, perhaps major, but simple nonetheless and when we become resolved to these changes we should be reassured that we are returning to our original Plan simply because we are aware that we actually had a plan in the first place! The above may indeed be the case and I certainly can't argue against Life's distractions and the perceived influences of others. However, I prefer to think that we excercised freewill Before we entered this Life time and therefore we are exactly where we are supposed to be and experiencing everything we intended to experience. That any "distractions" are part of our Path and that we should be learning from them and not putting them down to "bad luck" or "good luck". Everything simply IS. We, the Soul-beings, have to set about the ultimate in detective stories. Identifying Who WE really Are and What WE really are here for! The purpose of our Physical Incarnation! Isn't that one of the most exciting books you can think of? The best bit is that we can all find out before we get to the last page! Also, guess what? We are not alone in our quest, as many think, we have much help from our Soul Group members which I will address on another page! Live a Meaningful Life! |
