Talking about your “soul” and
deeper things in life is so frequently considered as spun out or weird in modern, take-away-eating, order-it-on-the-internet life, but if you are one of these people, you’ll find that letting go of socialistic trends like these will free you in a way that you simply cannot be freed in a materialists world.The end result is inner peace that no material possession could ever come close to. No, really.
How do I acknowledge its existence?
It starts by simply observing your own nature, or
actions and reactions you exhibit to different situations. Your thoughts from day to day, loves and hates, etc.
Ask questions. Not about
happenings of creation, but internal questions. Question your nature, and in doing so you will gain a greater knowledge of self.
Your soul is
part of you that makes you unique. Remember, your body is quite common. There are over 6 billion examples on
planet at this particular point in time, and at least on a biological level, they all function in
same way.
It is your mind that separates you from those around you, and mind is manifest. Your mind is your souls mind, and your strongest link to your soul.
Meditate.
It's simple.
Just quiet yourself and allow thoughts to bubble to
surface. Don’t dwell on them. Let them go and move on. Clearing your mind will open your eyes to
existence of your own soul and those of
people around you. To be conscious of your soul is to be on a higher level of consciousness.
Why would I want to acknowledge its existence?
To put it simply,
world we live in is at least as spiritual as it is physical. If you are confined within
boundaries of just one then you are missing out on at least half of what life has to offer. By simply acknowledging your soul, you're enabling yourself to become aware of
greater things in creation and life.
So many people move around from day to day only believing what they see and hear around them. Life to these people is temporary. Their meaning is to acquire as many physical possessions as possible, as this life -- consisting of but one lifetime -- has no definite meaning and hence they are forever filled with a sense of why. Why am I here? Why do I feel empty? Why do I have everything yet have nothing at
same time?
