The greatest mystery of life is found deep within each of us, in the sacred domain of our Soul and Spirit. Most people still don't think of their spiritual natures as a living, breathing part of them. Yet, it's within the spiritual domain where our real power is born. Not the power of ego, but your inner power and strength that you function from everyday.
Most religions of the world has tried to repress or deny the power of our Soul and Spirit. Many philosophies have said Soul and Spirit are the same thing. Fortunately, our Souls will not be ignored forever, and many people are awakening to this incredible inner power and strength that is governed by character and principles. It's a sign that we, as a humanity, are in the Age of Aquarius.
Our Soul and Spirit have very distinctive and unique qualities
To fully comprehend our spiritual essence, we must begin by understanding the Divine's function within our physical world of duality. The Oneness of the Divine begins to express itself in the world of duality. Oneness becomes divided into a polarity of God and Goddess. Not positive and negative but rather distinctive masculine and feminine reflections of the Oneness-Holy Spirit-Universe. These energies of the Divine form our spiritual essence and create our Soul (Goddess) and Spirit (God) connection.
Our Soul essence is an extension of the Divine Feminine (Goddess), and our Spirit represents the Divine masculine (God) within everyone regardless of their gender. Every human being has masculine and feminine energy; everyone who is alive has a Soul and Spirit. When these energies unite, they give birth to inner power, strength, and personal peace.
Anyone who has learned to value and integrate their masculine and feminine will experience wholeness and empowerment. Isn't that what each of us are seeking in our endless search outside of ourselves? The person who is looking for their "other half" to somehow make them whole. Wholeness and inner power come from our Feminine-Soul-Goddess connection, and genuine security and understanding is found within our Masculine-Spirit-God relationship.
The Soul and Spirit cannot function in our physical world without each other. It is a vital relationship. The Soul is the substance and space, like oxygen. The Spirit fills the Soul's space with light, like a burning flame. The Spirit needs the space (oxygen) of the Soul, and the Soul needs the warmth and light of the Spirit to coexist in harmony.
We live in a world that starves our Soul by denying our feminine Soul energy. When we deny our Soul we become separate in consciousness from the Love of the Divine.
We are never really disconnected from our source (Soul-Spirit), but it can appear and feel that way when we devalue our Soul. Our inner being becomes polluted with negative emotions leading us toward greater levels of emptiness and pain. The light and life of our Spirit dwindles into a tiny spark. Our motivation, energy, and purpose in life diminishes and our lives reflect this denial with loneliness, fear, depression, and despair.
Valuing and Supporting Our Soul Initiates Our Great Awakening & Return Home
Our Soul essence is manifested within our passion, intuition, feelings, and imagination. The Soul seeks to feel the love and Oneness of life. When we deny Soul, we also deny our feminine qualities and replace them with artificial substitutes. Addictions replace our passions, feelings become apathy, intuition is hogwash, and the imagination often becomes captured in fear and negativity. Our natural state of being is supposed to be one of balance, harmony, concern, and love. However, they becomes distorted into stress, anxiety, apathy, and pain when we deny our Soul.
When we see the beauty of life to remember the innocence, we nourish our Soul.
Passion is the part of your Soul that seeks the Oneness of connection with the Divine. The artist who becomes one with their canvas is experiencing the true passion of their Soul. Being at one with the flow of creativity, s/he step outside of time and space and experiences Oneness with the Divine. That is the passion of the Soul. Explore what brings you passion to tap you into your Soul's majestic power.
Spirit's dynamic energy emerges from masculine energy. It is comprised of freedom, choice, joy, and understanding, all of which are masculine qualities. The Spirit within each of us seeks to feel alive and be in the present moment. Spirit wants to connect compassionately with its eternal partner, the Soul. It is always searching for greater freedom, deeper understanding, joyful experiences, and understanding the secrets of life.
We say animals are spirited when they are energized and dynamic. We say someone with charisma has a beautiful spirit. A desire for freedom, happiness gave birth to the Spirit of America. Our Spirit is motivated by understanding and is the part of us that won't settle for complacency. It wants to know truth. Our Spirit keeps us exploring new ways to be free, grow, love, and express ourselves in life.
When we deny our Spirit our very life-force dwindles and low energy prevails. We can't be fully in the present moment because we cling to the past or worry about the future. We don't take time to taste the food we eat or feel the touch of a lover's caress. The Spirit-denied person becomes filled with emptiness, anxiety, and confusion. The fire dies down, and eventually, its search for understanding and freedom will wither.
When we deny both our Soul and Spirit, We End Up In Dis - Ease. Out of harmony and balance with ourselves. Our life force weakens and we become susceptible to illness, insomnia, depression, and hopelessness.
To awaken your inner power, you must begin feeding your Soul.
What are your passions? What puts you in the zone with the Oneness of life? Begin to feel your emotions and value them. Explore your imagination, creativity, and intuition. Engage in activities like meditating or daydreaming. Journal on these topics or meditate about love and caring, and you will discover their soul-full meanings.
Once you have fed your Soul, turn your attention to Spirit.
• What represents your freedom, and what brings you joy?
• Do you feel the freedom to express your talent?
• Connect with others and know you are valuable and have something to share.
• Commit to yourself to experience greater joy, dignity, freedom, and aliveness everyday.
As you begin to breathe the breath of Spirit into your Soul, you will activate your inner power and align with the light of your Divinity. Everywhere you go, your very presence will inspire, soothe, and heal the people in the world all around you. This becomes the grace of your spirituality, you help life evolve, grow, and align with source (Love).
