What Your Soul Can Do For You Today

This article is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awakening.

Your Soul, also often referred to as your Higher Self, is an integral part of who you are and what you are.

You probably believe you have a Soul, yet, your Soul is probably something which you give very little or no thought or attention.

Perhaps, as a child, you said a nighttime prayer as you memorized the words of a famous children’s prayer “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.”

But now, as an adult, the concept of having a Soul may not cross your mind.

If you are a participant of A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) or N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous), you may have wondered about step 2 of turning your life over to a Higher Power.

You may even have relegated the concept of your Soul to only matter as the eternal part of you that only matters when you die. Then you may imagine your Soul may go to heaven, or return to God.

Welcome To The Beauty Of Your Soul

Today, I would like to make you aware of your Soul as a dynamic, active and vital part of your life. A part of your life that can make you more healthy, joyful, and empowered.

I would like to introduce you to your Soul, not as something you tuck away to call upon as your life is fading away. I would like to introduce you to your Soul as a source of wisdom, a portal to divine energy that can impact and influence every day of your life starting today.

I would like to bring you into awareness of a tool that can help you every day in your life. I would like to introduce you to your Higher Self and encourage you to begin a lifelong adventure of integration and awareness that will change your life for the better, that will ultimately awaken your life.

Your Soul is more than simply the part of you that is eternal and therefore grants you access to eternal life when your material body fails and fades.

Your Soul is designed to be an active part of the wholeness of your being. It exists to be a resource engaged in your life adventure, a companion on the quest for love, for success and happiness.

Empowerment

The reason that A.A. and N.A. teach that it is important to turn your life over to a Higher Power is that by so doing you are empowered. You are empowered by the part of you that has always been there, and will always be there to help and support you, your own Soul. You just need to awaken it.

Your Soul is not separate from God; however, you define God to be, because your Soul is the spark of Divine Light that was granted to you as you became an individuated life.

It is the part of your anatomy that maintains a connection that is eternal. No matter what you do. No matter how many mistakes you make. No matter if you stumble or fall, that connection cannot be severed.

Your Soul, like God, always works for good. It has the power to heal you once you have learned whatever life lessons dis-ease may have entered your life to teach you. From the perspective of eternity and the Divine, your life experience is designed to teach and empower you to reach higher states of consciousness.

Major Life Lessons

The Ageless Wisdom speaks of these life lessons regarding your Soul giving you the power and strength to overcome your lower urges driven by your material nature, to greater Soul control as four major life lessons.

In each of these four major life challenges, it is your Soul that stands by to help and support you in transcending the lure or temptation of your lower (animal) self.

These four major life lessons can be broken down into:

Overcome the Desires of the Flesh – the physical part of your nature. Among these are the needs and urges that are sometimes called the seven deadly sins. They include Lust, Gluttony, Avarice or Greed, Sloth or Laziness, Wrath, Envy or Pride. I would like to re-frame these seven human challenges as the issues you are faced with in life.

Although these are sometimes called sins, I consider that they are simply the result of selfish and self-centered identification. They are tendencies and mistakes that you make when you see yourself as separate from others and separate from God.

Managing Emotions – Inherent in life lessons are also learning to manage emotions by learning to transmute, transform and transcend fear, anger, jealousy, and Ego.
Mastering the Thoughts of Your Mind – Overcoming worries, fears, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs.
Surrendering to Your Spiritual Nature – Using your Soul to integrate and master your physical, emotional and mental full lower natures (ego.)

Because these are the urges and desires of your physical and emotional nature, your Soul is ready, willing and able to help you gain mastery over these aspects of life so you can learn what it is to express Love.

The Nature of Your Soul is Love

Learning to Love is what your life adventure is about. If you break down the seven deadly sins, they can all be summarized as not expressing the highest form of Love.

As learning how to Love is the business of life, so teaching you how to Love and opening you to Love is the business of the Soul in your life.
– Genevieve Gerard

Your Soul is available to help you transmute, transform and transcend any and all aspects of your lower-self that keep you separated from the highest forms of love. Among these lower-aspects are addictions to alcohol, food, sex, cigarettes or drugs. The power of your Soul to empower you to conquer these urges is why all of the Anonymous programs encourage step 2 in the A.A. model.

Connecting with your Soul and surrendering your addiction to the healing power of your Soul gives you the strength and ability to conquer physical desires and cravings.

Likewise, being guided by your Soul frees you from the emotional attachments of desire that led the Buddha to acknowledge that life was suffering and that attachment was the cause of the suffering. Attachment is not love, although it can easily get confused with Love.

Love is life’s greatest gift. Love is life’s greatest blessing. Love is eternal. It is perhaps the one thing we can create as material beings that open us to our eternal and Divine nature.

Your Soul can guide you to learning to Love, not the “sticky and needy” love of attachment, but rather the freeing and inspiring Love of the Spirit. It is that which is eternal, empowering and life transforming.

Your Soul is a resource to empower you to be all that you can be. Through Soul Awakening, you are open to who you truly are as a “child of God” who is also the “Son of Man (Human).” It is your Soul that keeps you connected with God, and with the whole heavenly realm of angelic beings. It is your Soul that is your internal and external source of truth and wisdom.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
– Rumi

By activating and engaging in a conscious awakening of your Soul, you activate peace, love, and joy in your life. By surrendering to the wisdom of your Soul in times of trouble and confusion, temptation or terror, you are opening to living life abundantly.

I leave you today with a little Mantram of Unification I have adapted that you may find helpful to affirm out loud daily:

I let my Soul control my outer form in my life and all events so it may bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of time.

Let wisdom come with insight. Let the future stand revealed. Let inner wisdom demonstrate and any outer illusions be gone. Let Love prevail in my life.

May all know love.

– Alice A. Bailey, Djwal Khul

Experience Soul Personality Integration

This article is a continuation of my ongoing series on Soul Consciousness, blended with my ongoing series on Love, and the Angels.

This blending of my Soul with the Angels occurs as a simultaneous act of invocation and evocation. In so doing I open my life to the fulfillment and furtherance of a great plan that is held in the mind of God. You can do the same by reading this next affirmational section aloud.

SOUL INTEGRATION AFFIRMATION

I acknowledge that the Saints, the Hierarchy and those who have served humanity to bring about the manifestation of this Divine Plan, guide and direct me as I put aside my personal will.

As I remain aligned and surrender to Divine Will, I realize that my joy, my bliss, and my fulfillment are found in that surrender.

Each and every time that I can harness even the smallest glimpse of Divine Will, I learn to Love, and I am continuously strengthened and supported by whatever resources I need.

Today, I call upon my Spiritual Inner Plane Guides, my Angels, and the Christ, to provide help and assistance in my life that I may fulfill my life destiny and purpose to manifest God’s Will for my Highest Good and the Highest Good of All.

I surrender to and invoke the wisdom of my Soul as I place my Soul in control. I do this to learn the lessons of Love and to teach others the transforming empowerment of Love.

As I sacrifice my little will and align my life and purpose with Divine Will, I assert and affirm that: “Purpose Itself Am I.”

To manifest this awareness in my physical reality: “Two Minds Unite.”

The Light of the Soul Descends — Soul Light Descending

And to let “The Highest Light Control.”

To do this, I must “See the Greatest Light.”

As this Soul Light descends, it permeates my entire body as I ponder these words of power.

Love is my lantern! Through Love, I can align in full faith and confidence knowing that Divine Will and Wisdom has a purpose and plan that is beyond what I can see from the vision of my individuated self. As I surrender to that Divine Will and Wisdom, I can relax and release all of the mundane needs that have burdened my life.

Through my open connection to my Soul, the Heavenly Hosts are available to provide the healing that those I encounter in my life so desperately need. Through my surrender to Divine Will for the Highest Good of All, I am assured that I will do no harm through the unintended consequences of my personal ego or desire nature.

To walk this path of dual consciousness and awareness requires vigilance.

This walk in life with a human body, buffeted with needs and desires is a new kind of human being, a new kind of Soul consciousness that is just emerging in the human experience. To let your Soul be in control, while still walking in the world of sorrows is a whole new kind of experience in human life.

The human personality, id, and ego sometimes are not easily surrendered to Divine Will. Human glamor’s and illusions spill forth despite best efforts to remain aware of the promptings of your Soul and the guidance that Love provides.

This journey requires Love, and Love changes everything.

Each and every time you can remain open to Divine Love and aligned with and surrendered to Divine Will, you are taking a giant step forward in human evolution.

Each and every time you put your Soul in control you are fulfilling your destiny as the spark of Divine Light that you were created to be.

When you put your Soul in control, you automatically align with Love. You activate your co-creator potential that came from the Creator with the Breath of Life.

When you walk through life as the powerful and amazing being that you truly are, you are thinning the veil between heaven and earth.

You are demonstrating the consciousness of Love. The Angels come to you to support and comfort you.

Your whole perspective changes when you are integrating your Soul with your personality. Harmlessness becomes effortless.

Kindness and compassion flow from your heart as you are moved by the sorrow and suffering of others. You are aware of a unity of Spirit that makes clear your Oneness with all of Life.

SOUL-PERSONALITY INTEGRATION

The resistance you have to surrender and integrate your personality with your Soul is what makes you human. Although simple, it is far from easy to surrender to Divine Love and Divine Will.

The longing you have to be able to remain in a state of Love and aligned with Divine Will speaks to the Presence of your Soul. The nature of your Soul is Love. It is with Love you can open to the wonder and wisdom of your Soul. Ponder on this.

Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes.
– Paramahansa Yogananda

The integration of your Soul with your personality is the result of lifetimes of lessons of love and karma. The surrender of personal Will to Divine Will is a lesson learned long ago on the angelic realm and much easier when the illusions, glamor’s, and desires of the world of matter are not factors.

Humanities next significant step forward is to master this dual perspective, this dual consciousness, and then bring it into the world. This is an important step forward in the consciousness of humanity. Is is the evolution of a new kind of human being. One who is in relationship and communion with the Divine.

Imagine, for a moment if you will, just how this world would be different if Love were in control. Imagine, if governments and societies followed the Law of Love. Imagine, if the guidelines for the laws were crafted and passed with the principle of the Highest Good of All.

That would undoubtedly usher in a “Heaven on Earth.” That would fulfill the prophecies of old of “Peace on Earth,” a time when the lion could lie down with the lamb. These prophecies and dreams have fueled all world religions because they are the plan in the mind of the Creator that humanity was created to fulfill.

It takes only a moment of both self-awareness and life awareness to see how far humanity is from manifesting that vision that has been foretold. It is by learning to Love, by bringing you Soul into control and by surrendering your personal Will to Divine Will that the best chance for humanity manifests.

Many of the solutions to life’s challenges are simple. That does not make them easy. Free Will is an essential part of the human experience. The personality, the “lower self” must make the conscious choice to surrender to Divine Will. Without that conscious choice, the choice to choose Love, the choice to put your Soul in control and work with the Angels and the realm of Spirit to harness the world of matter, real enlightenment cannot happen.

By the very word, enlightenment requires bringing Light into the substance of matter. This is the destiny of humanity.

The merging of your Soul, with your completely human body, emotions, personality, and mind is what I have called the “Greatest Merger and Acquisition” ever.

It was to fulfill this blending of Spirit and Matter, Light and Dark, personal Will surrendered to Divine Will, that the human adventure was created. It was to bring Divine Love into manifestation in this world of matter that the struggle of life exists.

Matter, by its very nature, is devoid of Love. Only through humanity learning to Love and surrendering to Love can this dual consciousness of Soul and Personality through the denseness of matter be infused by Love, and the denseness of matter be inspired by Light.

This is the fuel of miracles and the purpose of life. Not just to learn how to Love, but to let Love so fully into your life that the very atomic matter of your being, your heart, lets your mind merge with your Soul, whose nature is Love.

Your human adventure offers you the opportunity to learn and grow until Love is clearly the answer. Surrendering to Love is your path to joy. When surrendering to Love becomes your personal Free Will you automatically align with Divine Will.

When you choose Love,
you are allowing your personality access to
the transforming power of your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

Today, I invite you to choose Love and reach for your Soul Consciousness. By making that choice, you have activated your Free Will on a path that brings you into alignment with the teachings and wisdom of your Soul.

When you choose Love, you become an agent of Divine Will here on planet Earth. Each time you choose to give Love, you are winning a victory. Each time you win, access to your Soul consciousness becomes cumulatively easier. Your Soul becomes ever more in control until the Soul, in control, can bring to Light the Love that underlies the happening of the times. Soul personality integration is the destiny and fulfillment of humanity.

Namaste,

Genevieve
