Observe ourselves, get to know ourselves (part 4)
Thought for the Week
One of the basic desires we have is to be happy. It is such a core driver in our lives we should get to know where it comes from, so we can get a better understanding of it. Our constant desire to be happy is really a desire to be where we as Soul are.
We initially fill our desire for happiness by chasing things like money, power, sex, drink, drugs and anything else that promises us happiness. Unfortunately, when we get what we have been chasing, we discover the happiness it promised is short lived. Then we go off chasing the next thing that promises us the elusive state. Eventually we get to the point where out of exhaustion, frustration or despair, we cry for help from God or whatever force is running our worlds and our lives. Once we recognise that life is more than just fulfilling our basic desires and needs, we can move on to exploring the reasons for our life.
Last week we explored our intuition and how our intuitive messages come from Soul, in the article Observe ourselves, get to know ourselves (part 3). Now it is time to explore Soul.
Lives in the moment
Soul lives in the moment, it lives for now. It doesn't think about the past or the future. If we can consciously live in the moment we will move our awareness closer to Soul's. As Soul is an intrinsic part of our existence, we do have contact with it all the time but we are often unaware of it. We get close to our Soul consciousness when we:
Concentrate fully on doing a task well.
When we share our love and friendship.
When we observe a beautiful scene.
When we are doing something we love.
When we use our imagination to explore new ideas, gain insights and discover new concepts,
When we are at peace with ourselves and our world.
When our world becomes heavenly.
Some of us have had experiences where we have been in our Soul body. Experiences such as:
Out of body experiences.
Near death experiences,
Dreams of exquisite beauty and joy
A feeling of oneness with the world around us,
A spiritual experience.
Re-establish the connection with Soul
So is there an easy way to re-establish the connection with Soul? The easiest way I've found of opening the flow of wisdom, light, sound and love into our lives is by singing the ancient, sacred word for God, HU. If we make time every day to sing this holy word out loud or to ourselves, we begin to receive insights and guidance bit by bit. The sound of HU is one of the sounds from the world of Soul. By singing it regularly we bring that vibration into our physical world and thereby opening a link between our inner and outer worlds.
As we sit quietly singing HU, ideas and thoughts come to us. We observe events, situations and difficulties from a higher view point. The sound of HU puts us at rest so we can relax and let go of the tensions of our lives. In that relaxed state our opinions, judgements and emotions relating to the situations in our lives are also relaxed. From this tranquil viewpoint we can observe different angles to theses situations and gain insights and deeper understanding about them, which can often lead us to solutions or better ways of dealing with them.
If we can make a habit of this, doing it every day, we begin to bring the wisdom and inspiration of Soul into our lives, re-establishing our Soul connection every day. It takes time for this to happen. Initially there is just a drop here and there, then a regular flow and then it becomes a stream. As we sign HU regularly our life becomes filled with the blessings of Soul and we become happier and wiser.
Wishing you happiness and wisdom.
