The soul

Created with StarryAI

The soul is the emanation of God within. The soul perfect in design seeks to express it’s qualities perfectly through the material world. The soul does not attach itself to the material world but use it as a means to express love, creative power and eternal wisdom. I connect to the soul by entering a space where time stops to exist and where potential is free to expand. The soul is essence, my deepest motivation and the nurturer of every cell in the body. The soul is a seeking freedom within integration and imparts creative genius in service of mankind. The soul has a perspective that fills every moment with meaning and purpose. It impels me to seek significance in every act, word and thought.

Intention of a soul journey

What is your intention for the journey ahead?
Intention is a purposeful resolve to accomplish something. Intention binds will with passion. Intention = will x passion. If wil is not there or passion is leaving then there is no or little left of intention.
At the moment my life lacks intention in terms of specifics. But ever as a Rosicrucian student and Stoic philosopher my intent is self-mastery directed towards the service of humanity. My intent with the zodiac journey is growth and wholeness, communion with my own soul. I hope to take the contents of the zodiac journey and take it beyond mere mental contemplation into the sphere of having intimate communion with my soul. The zodiac tries to explain a complete view of full soul expression. By studying the zodiac of provides a means for alchemy to progress towards a marriage between sun and moon and a deeper understanding of being a spiritual being.
The student that endeavors to commune frequently with the soul will deepen his or her spiritual acumen, any topic may suffice but some topics are more effective than others. The zodiac offers lots for mental contemplation but also a firm basis for soul communion. So the intent is to be in dialog with the soul and learn to listen to the Master within… And living a beautiful life fully.
What could you actively do now to commit to that intention ?
Commitment is the firm resolve not to give up until something is achieved. A pact is created with self to persist. Commitment is will combined with persistence and determination. I can actively commit time every day for a set period of time to commune with my soul. Maybe a time to focus on each sign’s mantra and allowing it to develop its own pattern to come into existence. In a sense that step has already been taken. I can commit myself to finish the journey, to do all the exercises and to contemplate my progress on this journey.
What are you willing to risk in service of this quest?
Is there a price to big to pay to listen to the Master within? It is not worth a life, for life is needed for the pursuit. I am willing to risk time and commit time to this pursuit. I am willing to accept the risk that I might spend the time and find no real return. I accept that this is a solitary road and that I will not have anybody to share the experience with. I accept the risk that it can divorce me from other people. I am willing to sacrifice my own self perspective and to soften my view of who I think I am and allow myself to see me as I am with more honesty. I will take the risk of acting and behaving differently than what is my norm even if it might shock or confuse others.

The nature of the soul

I sat this morning in my sanctum to meditate on my approach and motivation to work. There is no problem too big or too small to contemplate on a higher plane. If something is important to me it is worthwhile contemplating within the context of our highest ideals and thoughts. I realised again just how different it is to contemplate things from a meta perspective where we have rid ourselves of distraction and can fully concentrate on a specific problem. If the problem is truly mundane then it becomes quickly clear and resolves itself at such a thorough investigation. When an answer does not appear then it was something worthwhile to bring it to a refined level of thinking and contemplation.

As I am getting into the habit of brining my problems, questions and concerns to this plain of supra consciousness, the more I realise that every problem we face as well as every blessing we receive, is contributing to allow the soul to express itself more definitely in its full intelligence into the material world. I sat for a long time contemplating the need for the soul to evolve versus the conception that the soul is already perfect. What became apparent to me was that the soul, being perfect, is not expressed in full perfection in the material world. So what is evolving is not the soul but the soul’s expression into the material world. As the soul expresses itself it becomes an individuality in its own right….but not a detached individuality. It is an individuality that is fully integrated into the universal soul. For a universal identity to develop the material world is essential. Time and space crystallises consciousness, mind and energy to slow down in order for the required changes to take place. Everything is as it should be…our problems we need for our soul to express itself as an individuality without loosing the universal connection. In the world of perfect expression the soul is an individual and it is universal simultaneously. It is like an electron manifesting simultaneously as a wave and a particle depending on how it is observed. The soul is an individual when confined to being expressed within time and space but it is universal outside of time and place.

The dark night of the soul 

​I am faced with the beast 
The haunting shadow reflecting 
A mirror image of disgust
Ideals seem but a whim
Virtues a distant cousin 
From foreign land

The brilliant shine has gone pale 
What to do when you fail 
Was all the years wasted? 
When the self image greets
A stranger from another land

How can one divert so far
Not to come an inch closer 
Perfection a vague illusion 
The real a persistent question 
The magnifying of age illuminates
Infirmities, weakness and vulnerability 

The true self covered in dust
Getting thicker layer upon layer
Surface  texture hidden from sun 
Is this the dark night of the soul?
