SOUL Speaking

S.O.U.L.

Spiritual odyssey understanding life.

In various conversations this past week, I found myself centering on deeper questions. I would either find myself talking of the deeper or walking away and pondering it. Interesting.

I notice that our society and culture do not really encourage the time to go deeper. So many of us wear so many masks, being something for everyone else and ourselves... and often ignoring the still, small voice within.

I am feeling the voice getting louder. Not in any audible way, but in my senses, my nerves, my veins. I consider myself someone who thinks deeper, but I have been "caught up" with the business, the busy-ness. Now, I am feeling something afoot. I am not sure what, but I know there is a knock on the door and it is getting louder.

I am reading the work of Martha Beck these days and she says that the power of the mind, while great, is nothing as compared to the limitless power of the soul. It is impervious to the conditions of this world. It knows what we were designed to do and be. We may veil that and even run from it, but the soul finds ways to send signals. We are mind, body and spirit. We talk of mental health and body health.... our spiritual health requires us to go deeper and hear our soul.

Hear it.

Mine is sending to me. I hear it in vibrations and discomfort and things "not being right"... in my reactions to same old situations, things I have enjoyed. Something is different, and so I am taking time to pray and meditate and quiet my mind, to hear that voice. Yes, the mind is powerful and our bodies are temples, but the soul is the "sage". Intelligence and strength pale in comparison to love and wisdom, the powers of the soul.

Hear the soul. It speaks.

Hear yours. I have said my piece. More to follow.
