Discovering the Soul Within

In our last Wisdom class we were asked to spend a day awakening the atoms of our causal body.  In an effort to do this I spent some time in meditation trying to tune into this master self within.  In this process, I found myself letting go of the common labels to which I normally identify myself.  My soul is not ‘mother’, ‘software engineer’, ’American’, ‘wife’, etc.  And so I tried to describe who I feel this one to be.

“I am on a journey to discover the invisible part of myself.  When I am quiet and very still, I get a glimpse of her and I am inspired.  She is not afraid to experience all that life throws at her.  Her heart is open to embrace compassion and joy as well as sorrow and heartache.  Love is always her first response.  She is gentle and peaceful during confrontations.  She is undaunted and fearless in the face of danger and the unknown.  She appreciates the blessings in each moment and easily finds humor in life’s many experiences.  She is sensitive to the suffering of others and compassionate in her response.  She is grateful for the smallest overcoming and she is steadfast in her service to Christ.” 
How would you describe your soul?

Solar Annointing - Soulic Awareness

In our Wisdom class this week we read, “Instruct yourselves to keep on measuring the hours with valued use, making every word, every act and motive conscious and bathed by Solar anointing.”

Flower went on to share that this term “Solar anointing” means that work should be brought to the soul’s attention and given permission and be anointed. A brief discussion arose on how we might best lift things in this way to the awareness of our soul.

One suggested that a good way to do this is to ask questions. This invites a response. As we strive to become even more aware of our soulic vehicles, what ways have you found helpful to do so? How do you bring things into your soul’s attention?
