The Instrument To Heal Is The Soul

Aug24

Relaxing By The Water

The soul is the instrument that needs to be healed.
But what is the soul? Let us walk up to the door
Of the soul and knock gently. Who answers may be
One of wisdom or ignorance. If you can see
Past your sorrows you’re able to tolerate more
Of life’s contrast wherein your power is revealed.

Think of someone you truly hate and can’t forgive
For the harm they have done you. Now what if they said,
“What a bummer. I’m sorry. I never meant to
Do you harm. Let’s just call it a day.”? How would you
Feel about it? Would negative thoughts fill your head
And your heart? Can this be the way you’d want to live?

Now let’s change the story a bit. What if this one
That you hate so much came up to you and said, “I
Really screwed up and I did it all consciously.
I knew that it would hurt you. That didn’t stop me
From behaving improperly. I don’t know why
I committed this act. I hate what I have done.”?

Each scenario knocks on the door to the soul.
But which one does the healing? And which causes pain
To resurface. Both victim and victimizer
Can experience healing. Which is the wiser
Choice to make? Which way can net spiritual gain?
In each moment you can play the enlightened role.

Spiritual Whirlwinds

May29

Spiritual Symbology

The spiritual warfare that has to take place
Due to our human nature becomes ever more
Obvious. No longer will there be subtlety
In the battle between hate and love, and to be
Of either is to be quite acquainted with war.
Is there something the matter with the human race?

Governance is an issue. We can’t get along
Because of our diversity. We’re a nation
Where the Civil War continues to be fought and
One where the sick among us will not understand
That all people are part of divine creation.
There’s only the difference between right and wrong.

How does spirit and warfare end up in the same
Stream of consciousness? Scripture declares there will be
Commotion in the end times, but apparently
This time is one of many throughout history.
It’s not hard to look at it spiritually
When complete understanding alone is your aim.

The whirlwinds of spirituality are such
That foundations can be uprooted. Temptation
To be swept up in drama will always exist.
Spirit may not want you to be an altruist,
But it does offer insight. The elevation
Of the consciousness of this world is needed much.

Salvation

Consider The Earth

Salvation is the state of being protected
Or saved from harm or an adverse situation.
In religious contexts it’s the deliverance
Of the soul from sin and it’s most dire consequence.
By God, good deeds, and faith one receives salvation.
It implies that something needs to be corrected.

Salvation is transcendence from circumstances
That destroy the value of human existence.
The nondual ultimate reality of
All existence is oneness and infinite love.
We’re creatures of magnificence and effulgence.
What comes by naturally one’s faith enhances.

As individual units of spirit, we
Are all interconnected. Inseparable
Are we from each other. It’s the illusion of
Separation that keeps us from rising above
The narcissistic ego. We seem unable
To let go of the harmful negativity.

We’re delivered from ignorance and the lower
Levels of consciousness. The ascended masters
Describe the general populace as being
Lost and trapped in a dream because we’re not seeing
What we do to cause spiritual disasters.
Salvation helps one to become a true knower.
