WHAT IS YOUR SOUL?
“The soul is partly in time
and partly in eternity.”
(Marcelio Ficino)
Your soul is the deepest essence of who you are. It is what makes you a unique human being.
It is the particular pattern of characteristics, qualities, and potentials that are unique to you, and that make you You.
Your soul is also the spiritual essence at the core of your being.
To embrace your soul is to embrace all of who you are… your darkness and your light, your body, your feelings, your mind, your personality, your spirit, your wounds and your history, your qualities and potentials, your fears and your love, your shadow, your gifts, your heart (and your ability to love and to let love in), your family and ancestral lines, your past life patterns, your soul-mate relationships, your star heritage, and your essential Being - your spiritual nature that is One with the All…
Put all of these together and you begin to get a sense of the mysterious vastness that is your soul,
YOUR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SELF.
No two souls are the same. Your soul is utterly unique. And your soul seeks to express itself through your particular life, through your specific soul journey in this world.
You are here to live your unique soul path, to express your particular soul potentials…
TO BE THE YOU THAT ONLY YOU CAN BE.
Your lived expression of your soul is also a unique piece in the extraordinary and mysterious puzzle that is Life. Your soul’s journey and expression in this life is your specific contribution to the unfolding of the wider human story, and of the story of Earth herself.
Never before and never again will the particular expression of Life that is YOU exist as you do in your life right now. What an opportunity. What a gift. What a challenge…
“You are not undergoing this journey alone. You always have an indispensable partner - your Soul. You are not wandering in the dark unaided, left to your own devices, your own wits - even if at times you feel this way.
Your Soul is constantly reaching out to you and offering support. But you must make yourself available to Soul, and you must make your own choices while wandering through the mysteries of nature and psyche.”
(Bill Plotkin in ‘The Journey of Soul Initiation'‘)
