A Question of Soul

 The Wisdom of the Soul


Each one of us holds within a wisdom that has not come from any book or been taught in any school. It is a wisdom of truth and of knowing and it is held deep within. Asked how we know, we answer, we simply know, there is no logic, there is no explanation, there just is, and it is this is, that guides us throughout our lives and it is our Soul.

As people having been born at this time on the Earth where materialized styles of living have become applauded, we find ourselves slowly from birth being socialized into the ethos of ownership, separation and a belief in lack. We learn to believe in and give value where no value exists, and we learn to trust in a way of life and existence that does not resonate with who we are. Our inner most knowing strives to maintain our truth but life as we learn to believe in counter acts this knowing and blocks us from fulfilling our life path. This inner knowing of our 'Soul Self' continues to call to us, but it often contradicts our manifested reality, and so in desperation and confusion we turn it off.  We say to ourselves - there is no point giving room for my Soul to breath, this is Life, isn’t it?

Fear of Lack Imprisons the Mind

Fear of the imagined lack we have learned to believe in imprisons the mind to believe in its existence, yet there is no lack in the universe. The only lack that exists is in our own minds. We in turn grow up, from baby to child to adolescent to adult, forming and joining groups and societies that promote separation and isolation of organic wholeness and in this process we lose ourselves, and it is no surprise. Modernity has thrived on people being shackled to holograms of what they should prosper to be, and on attaining values and identity of who you are, based on what you do, what you have accumulated, where you live and how you speak. We learn to treat each other as separate, and in turn we learn to treat our own parts of ourselves as separate. In short we loose touch with who we are and we forget why we came to this Earth in the first place.

The Heart / Mind, Soul / Spirit Separation

Growing up in this environment naturally leads us to disconnect, and over the course of our lives we develop splits and separations within ourselves and with our own truth. The most common separation among people in contemporary society is with the Heart and the Mind. The growing emphasis on the hierarchy of the Mind has led to the Heart becoming something to be controlled, even denied. Placing such restrictions on matters of Heart lead to people becoming disconnected, split and lost in themselves.  Sometimes this separation becomes so sever that the two parts learn to work in complete opposition to each other. The Heart feels so much and the Mind thinks so much, yet often each act in a state of not knowing what the other is doing, or why it is doing what it is. This not knowing often occurs with the two parts functioning at a level of impatient intolerance with the other.

Add to this the loss of a connection with Spirit and Soul and you find that it is no mystery that a lot of human beings live their lives in disharmony with themselves, being thrown from one state to the other, living a life in confusion and bewilderment at what they truly want, what will make and keep them happy, what they’re doing with their lives and what they’re not.

Creating Harmony in Your Life

You cannot have harmony in your life if you do not have harmony in yourself. So even with the most basic level of separations, be it the Heart / Mind split and or the Spirit / Soul Separation you will find yourself living in a whirl of confusion, possible guilt, anguish, despair and conflict, and when in conflict you are in battle, only in this war the enemy is yourself. If this holds true for you, you will find you spend most of your life working against yourself instead of for yourself and this is simply because you do not Know yourself in all your parts. You may find you follow certain paths only to discover at the end of it that it is not the path you were looking for. You search for paths but really what you are looking for is yourself and your Truth.

Life in all its joys and complexities teaches us how to disconnect. Not knowing how to reclaim ourselves we keep going forward in whatever direction we seem to be pointed, whether that direction is what we truly want or not, this is also true on a collective consciousness level and on a planetary level.  Taking stock of ourselves and slowing down long enough to see, is the only way we can begin to step out and create the life we truly desire and aspire to live.

Reclaiming Your Truth

The answer to reclaiming your Truth is simple, just stop. Stop battling with yourself, stop ignoring yourself and start listening. You and all your parts have all the answers. You can live your life blind, hiding from yourself, or you can choose to want to open your eyes and see. Going within, with Heart, gives your Soul air to breathe and unfolds your own divine wisdom so that you can heal yourself and follow your own unique guidance. Healing awakens Spirit and frees your Mind to follow the journey of your Soul.

We all have the power to create a heaven here on Earth, the first step is simply a stepping back, back into ourselves and back into our Truth.

Heavens Door II




Poem

 ~ Heavens Door II ~

           by Charity Amy Murphy


"Sitting here by heavens door
the waves roar more and more,
In they come and out they go
taking with them all they know.

Wisdom lies beneath the sea,
its held in deep captivity,
The blue of sky protects its awe
as birds of heaven fly above.

Deep within her loving soul,
is our journey to unfold.
Sit and watch the crashing waves,
Let yourself go as they cascade.

Dive deep within your soul
And you will know all that she knows".


~ Charity Amy Murphy ~

Prayer, SERENITY NOW

  Prayer, SERENITY NOW

                         Dear

God please grant me the
Serenity to accept the
things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things
I can; and
the Wisdom to know
the difference.
Living one day at a time
enjoying one moment at a time.
And living with peace and
Love in my heart"
~ Namaste, Amen ~

Prayer, 'Serenity Now'

Harnessing the Wisdom of the Soul

Sit quietly amidst your thoughts and dreams and let your Soul speak to you. Find the inner voice of your Soul wisdom and listen to it. Ask it for guidance and allow your self to hear the whispers that are always there. Stay in silence as you learn to give your inner spiritual self the time and attention it so craves and when you do, you will find the answers you have been looking for lying within waiting to be heard.

Does a Butterfly feel happiness...

I smiled with delight as a small lilac butterfly flitted past me. I turned back to follow it as my heart brimmed with happiness at the sight of this small delicate beautiful creature. It landed on a leaf of a tree and I was suddenly acutely aware of the impact this precious creature had on me.... and I wondered. Do Butterfly's feel happiness.
Or do they simply exist, spreading their wings and taking flight, filling the world with their lightness and beauty.

The Art of Meditation

Meditating is the act of simply being still, still in our thoughts, still in our emotions, our worries and our ego. For when we are still we allow a channel to open that connects us with our Higher Selves. In this state we are free to exist in the realms of consciousness and with practice we can use this space to bring healing and awareness to our Soul.

There are many ways in which to meditate. Some people like to use guided meditations. Others use mantra or sacred verse to help ease their Mind and bring themselves into stillness. Everything in this world holds a vibration and flow of consciousness. Allowing stillness to emerge within allows you to align with the vibration and flow of the consciousness of what you are wishing to work with. Therefore when working with symbols and sacred verse allow yourself to slow-down within yourself so that you can feel the resonance of meaning and Truth that lies within the energetic core inherent and alive within each and every act of creation, be it conscious or not.

Using the sacred chant of OM is very powerful, as it awakens the higher realms within us while helping us to become more grounded in our own being. To engage in a deep meditation you may like to relax by sitting comfortably, perhaps even lying down, or to sit cross-legged while holding your hands either palm up in your lap, in prayer position by your heart or by linking your thumbs and index fingers and resting them in your lap.

Always start your meditation by calling in your Higher Self and connecting with your Heart. Your Heart is the gateway to your Soul; learning to live with an open Heart will further assist you as you step back into the Truth of who you are. Learn to be in your Heart more and more each day, sit with it, hear it and be conscious of it as you bring yourself to stillness and be in meditation. Use this space to ask questions of consciousness and guidance from your Soul and enjoy what comes up for you. Record your findings in your Journal of Consciousness and carry yourself forward in your own enlightenment.

Always end your meditation by giving thanks for any messages or assistance you receive. Giving thanks affirms our connection and interconnectedness to the oneness of all that is.

“Step into your Soul and find your way back to your Self. The Beauty of all creation lies within you. You are a manifestation of your Soul-Self-Truth experiencing the joyful expression of life”
