Each one of us has a soul and a purpose. I have come to understand the soul as simply the 'Source of Unconditional Love' and 'Source of Universal Life-Force' (soul), and that we are a conduit through which the Creator Source finds an opening to procreate the essence of that sublime love in the world in which we all inhabit.
Along with our own individual purpose, whatever reason we have chosen to be on the earth at this time, I feel, on the whole, that this is our overriding collective purpose. And when you look at life with this thought in mind it can immediately simplify our view, our perspective, where we can create a world for our self that is founded upon love. Allowing our light to shine, standing in our own brilliance is a testament to creation itself.
You see our soul, that spark of creation, is the very essence of our core being. It literally is an explosion of light that came into being just as stars and planets are born. In that precise moment we had consciousness, we were given presence and we had an awareness. We are a microcosm of the most loving creative force and therefore we are able to create our world through the power of our unique identity given at the time of our individual creation.
Every one of us is supremely beautiful and magnificent and we can radiate our own brilliant light. We are the very source of our own creation. We are that source of unconditional love. All that we are, that we create, comes from us. We have everything that we need right here within each one of us.
So how do we start our own soul search and claim our true identity? Well to start with we: -
Stop, Listen and Feel!
Life is not, nor does it have to be complicated. We are not complex beings. We might like to think that we are and so create an air of mystery, or a false sense of security, or have others in awe at our genius in managing our seemingly busy 'out of control lives'. Our precious energy can be far better expended by focusing it on unravelling 'knotted beliefs' that tie up our minds and so produce new openings where we naturally come to know our self as something much more that what we may currently perceive. Our thoughts and the way that we utilise them inhibit our selves from obtaining the very thing that we desire most and which can transform our life completely. All we need do is to stop, listen and feel:-
Stop: doing what you are doing that is unproductive, negative and self-defeating. Stop re-acting. Your mindset propels your behaviours creating outcomes that can be creative or destructive. Taking back control of your thoughts is critical to healing the life that you are creating right now.
Listen: Listen to what you say and how you say it. Let what is true for you find an avenue to be heard. Listen to the wisdom that flows unceasingly from your soul and take action that will carve out a path that brings success and a loving mindset.
Feel: the presence of you. Step back, detach and focus on yourself. Connect to your inner self and acknowledge how you feel about any given situation. Don't deny what your feelings are saying. Go past the doubt and feel your way inward and take action to change your mindset. Assert your true presence by feeling and less thinking.
When we do venture in and explore our inner world our soul makes its presence known and we begin to transform from the inside out. That light of our beginning grows brighter and brighter. One day we find ourself radiating that light without any fear of being seen or being heard. We are happy to fully open our hearts to a glorious infusion of magic and wonder that lifts our minds that transcends old inhibiting crippling doubts and inner fears. Quietness absorbs the inner noise that once created such confusion and distraction and we begin to feel at peace. Everything falls into place and life makes sense. We feel reborn, and in a way we are undergoing a form of rebirth. Now we are experiencing our true nature, our soul, through our human consciousness and we have a presence.
Through my own endeavour's in soul searching I have learnt 2 very important things:-
1. Ask
Whenever I was in doubt, suffering in pain and afraid I simply asked for help and it was never refused me. My mother taught me at a very young age that we are forever supported by God, our guides and spirit helpers. Over time I really appreciated what an incredible gift this was. Later on in life, after much practice of asking, I realised that I could expand on this by imagining that what I was requesting, I already had. That it was my reality. Now sometimes I just have to think about something just once, and it comes into fruition. Asking is a most beautiful gem as it teaches us so many other wonderful wisdoms, like surrendering, trusting and allowing. So always ask for help when needed.
2. Having Presence.
The beauty of healing our human mind and emotions through our Soul is that we heal from the inside out. And in that process of ' effectively coming from within', we establish a knowing, a remembering of our true wonderful loving nature.
So start with baby steps as you commence your own soul search if you are nervous about the idea of surrendering your power to an unseen force, for as you do those steps will become huge strides and you will fully realise that you are this powerful loving force. You are the light of your own creation. It is you!
The potential for us all to complete the circle of soul searching, coming right back to where we started as a soul, feeling a real sense of finally coming home is quite beautiful. This is one circle I really don't mind travelling in.
