Your soul is here for you to experience and become aware of your immense magnificence. Your soul does not want you to live a safe life behind closed doors, with only half of you expressing itself and living according to the tenets of an outdated and limiting belief system, imposed from the outside and handed down through the generations.
Your soul wants you to experience your power, your genius, your courage, your independence- it does not want you cowering in the corner or shortchanging yourself. Your soul will lead you into your fear so that you can find your trust, into your disempowerment so you can find your empowerment. It will lead you into your oppression, so you can find your liberation and into the your sorrow so you can find your joy. It will maneuver you into a position of being completely stuck, so that you throw off the shackles of your righteous positions , access your humility and walk the pristine path of Truth. Your soul’s greatest joy would be for you to seek and retrieve and restore to its former glory fearlessly all the parts of yourself that you banished, vilified and made wrong and forgot about so long ago.
You have a choice. You can live according to your soul’s agenda, working in harmony with that part of you, seeing your life through the eyes of your Divinity, or you can continue to live your life through the lens of separation, struggle for survival , where there is never enough, where you are never enough , where people and circumstances in your life are there to be fixed, vanquished or avoided and where your best laid plans are routinely washed away like a wave washing away a child’s carefully constructed sandcastle. Here is your choice: Get with the big picture, the deeper truth or suffer some more.
Most often your soul brings you into relationship not for a ‘happily ever after’, but so you can see yourself. The parts you love and the parts you hate. You are in relationship to find balance, to find equanimity, to retrieve the lost parts of yourself and to love all of you, the dark and the light, the Divine and the diabolical and then and only then do you gain the opportunity of meeting yourself in that field that exists beyond all notions of wrongdoing and right-doing, alluded to by the great poet, Rumi.
