reality of life, as viewed from the
perspective of our soul is bound to be different than when viewed from the
perspective of the body because our soul lives eternally. The soul views time
in a continuum, unlike our rational mind that is governed by limitations of the
body which dies overtime.
The soul realizes that if one body dies, it
can reincarnate in another body and continue on its journey of evolution.
A physical body is like a house, the soul
chooses to inhabit for the period of a life-time. It is said that souls pass
through different life-times as clouds pass through skies. Each life experience
helps the soul evolve to a higher dimension.
In human bodies of different kinds, colours, creeds
and genres, the soul plans a variety of experiences which help us evolve in
unique ways.
One life, for the soul, is just like one step
in its ladder of evolution. The difficulties which seem fatal when viewed from
the vision of limited time and space of one life-time, appear as challenges to
be overcome when viewed from the perspective of our eternal soul.
Understanding the
working of this alternate reality, that is, reality, as viewed from the
perspective of the soul, is particularly useful when everything in life appears
to be going wrong, when one does not understand why life is taking the turns
that it is, and when the WHY ME syndrome takes over - often, deluding
reasoning.
When we view our life-time as part of a
journey and not as a one-time experience, then we can view difficulties as road
blocks, driving through which enhances our expertise. Overcoming difficulties helps
in soul evolution.
Realizing
happiness in life for the soul is like winning an Energy War between negative
energies which block our happiness by making us focus on fear and competition
and the opposing positive energies within us. As souls, we seek to express our
inner pure self freely, so that we can experience joy and laughter while going
through the walks of life. But, usually we lose the war when we live feeling
stressed and die feeling diseased.
The soul continues on the same journey of
challenges till it can radiate its light fully i.e. till it realizes happiness
in the path chosen, even if the process takes several life-times.
So, if we make choices which make us feel
pangs of emptiness often, where we keep questioning why we do what we do but
keep feeling obliged to remain bound by a system of organization in order to
meet our financial or traditional commitments; then, we need to be aware that
if our body dies feeling compromised in any area of life, we would reincarnate
with similar problematic circumstances. Death will not solve problems.
Our soul would not die with the body and the
thought we die with would remain with us in the next body till we can transcend
it. The energy which makes us feel negative never dies. Only the physical
matter dies.
The energy remains and tries to free itself
from feeling bound or compromised again, in whichever area of life it dies
feeling negative.
Hence, as souls, we keep repeating experiences,
which make us feel incomplete, underutilized and helpless till we can transcend
the difficulties, as obstacles to be overcome, find what happiness means to our
individual sensibilities and realize it.
Our soul seeks to
win the Energy War it finds itself entangled in the ups and downs of life, by
defeating the negative energies which prevent it from feeling happy or content
from within.
The soul has to succeed in feeling happy,
successful and joyous in order to evolve to a higher positive frequency; and
usually the war is more within the self than external since how worthy or
powerful, we feel internally affects how we make our choices and compromises
externally.
