What Does Your Soul Want?

You need to know what you want.  It sounds simple, really.  But of course, it's not, or we wouldn't be writing about it.

Your desires occur on different levels.  Some are so shallow that they can easily be disregarded as chaff.  Some basic ones deserve your attention, but not a lot of thought.  You are hungry, you need to eat.  You are tired, you need a place to rest and the time to do it.

But there are more obscure, quiet little needs whose temerity belies their importance.  These are the needs of your soul.  You soul needs to be fed and nurtured in order to grow.  And your soul needs to grow in order to be happy.  The very act of growth makes your soul feel glad.  Stagnation hurts.  Backsliding hurts, perhaps more.  (Backsliding is often caused by pain.) 

Your soul needs your consideration and attention, for only when you pay attention are you likely to hear its quiet statements of need.  This is another reason for the value of quiet time, contemplation, meditation.

Too many of you are virtually divorced from your own souls.  This is sad to us, because your soul is well worth knowing, and you cannot really be complete without making its acquaintance and forming a warm and loving relationship with same. 

Your soul is well worth knowing by anyone, but this goes double and triple when we speak of knowing your own self.  Your soul has many things to tell you, and not just about its wants and desires.  Your soul carries much of the wisdom you have acquired here and there along the way.  You have accumulated more than you suspect.  Wouldn't it be great to access this?  Can you even imagine the benefits?

Turn your thoughts and attention deep inside yourself.  Set your intention to make this acquaintance, the most important friendship of your life.

You'll like what you find there, surprises and all.  And again, you will be the richer for it.

We love and honor you this day.  Some day you'll know why.

Namaste.
