The Soul Journey

Aging is that process in life which trains us to let go, whether we cooperate or not. As we get older we lose the abilities of our bodies that we had when we were young. We lose the ability to control and take care of all that stuff we have worked so hard to accumulate throughout our lives. We may get tired more easily, we may forget things, we might get sick, we don’t get around like we used to, our friends die or move away, we are no longer wanted at our job. As we age our... attention is being forced to turn from the attachments of the personality to the inner realities. We are being told to live the life of the liberated Soul while still in this world. We are being taught to trust in life, to celebrate life, to look to the future with faith, and to share our love and wisdom with others. Practice loving detachment throughout the life, and you will have nothing to lose with age. See more

Without trust you remain disconnected from sources of sustenance and sources of love. Trust enables you to make connection in order to be able to love and to contribute to life. Whenever trust is present fear diminishes proportionately. Whenever fear is present you can be certain that you are lacking trust. This indicates that you are experiencing through the personality rather than through soul. It is fear that sustains insecurity and thereby blocks trust. It is not possibl...e to trust and still maintain a personality perspective. The movement from lack of trust to a trusting attitude requires shifting perspective from personality to soul. A soul perspective enables you to grasp the essence, see the meaning and sense a purpose. The soul perspective of trust is a knowing that whatever is being experienced or about to be experienced is right, is meaningful and is purposeful some greater good is being served, including your greater good. A lack of trust feels that what is being experienced or about to be experienced is wrong, potentially hurtful, and something to be avoided.

Soul signs are symbols pointing us toward the essence of ourselves, others and all beings. When we learn to read them and recognize them we can, and must, then identify with them. As we do this we activate the soul energies within ourselves, experience meaning and fulfill purpose. Identifying with the soul of anything or anyone also activates the soul energy within ourselves, and vice versa. Soul identification changes perception i.e., how we see self, life and situations. ...And changed perception changes the experiences we have both the kind and the quality of them.

Love is not a verb. You are in love or are not in love. When you are in love you are literally in its presence as it is in you. Feeling grateful and expressing gratitude for being embraced by love keeps it alive and nourished. This gratitude must then overflow into expressions of support, understanding, comforting and compassion toward others who are in real need. Selfish gratitude depletes love. Generosity feeds it. Unconditional love is soul to soul contact that fully acc...epts the limitations of oneself and the other without judgment and with compassion. To be in Love is the greatest privilege any human being can experience. To share that state of being with another is the greatest gift we can give.
