EMPOWER YOUR "TRUE SELF"

Many people live and die without ever realizing the full power and potential of their soul. At some time in their life, they may wonder about the soul, about God, and about the purpose of their existence. Many people pass through life never realizing who they are and never certain about the purpose of their existence. In times of trouble or in the face of death, they may raise these questions, but may not follow them through to a fulfilling conclusion or else may abandon the process when the bad times pass. But those who have a burning desire to find the answers to the mysteries of life can find therm.

This search for meaning and purpose- the spiritual quest- is one that people pursue in different ways. Some seek answers in scripture while others search in places of worship. Some go beyond their own religion to find answers offered in other faith. Whichever method one adopts, the direction one follows to find answers to life's questions is known as the spiritual path.

It is the spiritual path that leads to the realization of the inner self, to the soul.

There are two ways to view ourselves with regards to soul. The first is to view ourselves primarily as a body and mind that "have a soul'. The second is to see ourselves primarily as a soul who " has or wears a mind and body". If we think that we are a mind and body, then ours is a journey to find the soul. If we realize that we are the soul, which has been given the mind and body to maneuver through the physical world, then our goal is to further empower the soul. By empowering the soul we recover its natural control over the mind and senses.

The mind, the senses, the body, and the pulls of the physical world have placed the soul in a state of forgetfulness from which we must awaken. Within us are the riches greater than any we can ever accumulate on earth. We have inside us a source of knowledge from which all other knowledge flows. A love far greater and fulfilling than any we can know in the outer world is waiting to embrace us with open arms within.

At our core is a strength and power that can enable us to overcome any fear. Underlying our separateness as individuals is a connectedness and oneness to all life. Awaiting us inside is a bliss and joy so fulfilling that we need no other intoxicants to make us happy. All these gifts lie within us in the empowered soul.

The soul is a source of tremendous wisdom, love, and power, yet we remain ignorant of its treasures when we allow it to be overpowered by the mind, the senses, and the physical body. When the mind and body assert power over soul, the soul forgets itself. But the empowered soul is our true nature, and it is time we reclaim the soul so that its gifts can enrich our life. There are simple techniques for accessing the riches of our soul. We need not search the four corners of the earth. We need not travel into outer space. These techniques can be practiced in the comfort of our home. Through meditation, a whole new world opens for us. By learning meditation, we can gain entry to worlds of bliss, light and love within. Tapping into the soul and its powers can enrich and transform our life. When we empower our soul, its wisdom, immortality, love, fearlessness, connectedness and bliss add a new dimension to our life.
