I Want To Be My Whole Self

I Want To Be My Whole Self

Be Your Whole Self by Genevieve Gerard

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

When your lower-self (your personality [body, emotions, and mind]) merges with your higher-self (your Soul which is the essential part of you into which your Divine Spark is embedded) you become empowered by your whole-self.

In your natural life journey, there is a development process that goes on throughout your life between your lower-self (personality) and your higher-self (Soul.)

This developmental process occurs naturally but for you may be unconscious.  When you invite the integrative process of your Soul to merge with your personality, you bring into your consciousness a greater awareness and empowerment of your life’s purpose.

Most likely, inviting your Soul to be an active player in your life is not something you learned to do in Sunday School.  After countless hours in churches and listening to countless hours of homilies and sermons I can say the Soul is rarely mentioned.  Even the Bible does not specifically teach you how to activate and engage with your Soul.

Although throughout your life, your Soul may have opened to you its presence, your conscious awareness of your Soul may have well been hit or miss.  You may have felt your Soul most present in times of heart-wrenching sorrow when a loved one has died.  And, that pain and compassion may have driven you to your knees and opened your mind and heart to the Presence of your Soul, although it’s doubtful that you were consciously aware that your Soul was the comforter.

I believe your Soul may have given you insight through your intuition that may have saved you or a friend from harm’s way.

I believe that your Soul is willing to step in at times of crisis as an act of Love or Grace, but to really provide the power and majesty of which it is capable it requires a relationship.

Most likely you have been raised from infancy to focus on your five material senses as the way you experience the world.  Any insights you may have experienced beyond the reality of those physical senses is usually discouraged by parents, adults and those who are not seeing or feeling what you might be experiencing.  This limitation is factual across most cultures and is especially true in the Western world.

This emphasis on the physical and material world has led to a long span of evolution that denies awareness of the spiritual realm.  This tendency has limited the education and knowledge of the Soul to mystics such as Hafiz, King David (in the Psalms) or Osho. Without this spiritual education, you are left with a part of you that is missing.

You may have unconsciously longed for contact from and connection with your Soul, while steadfastly ignoring or denying the reality of anything spiritual.  You may have turned to religion to find out about your Soul, but religion, unfortunately, is currently usually not the source for learning how to develop a relationship with your Soul.

All religions are true, but none are literal.
           – Joseph Campbell

The core belief of these spiritual writings of King David, Hafiz, Osho, and other spiritual writers you might cherish is that within every human heart is the longing for connection and relationship with your Soul.

No matter which religions or religious beliefs each of these inspired writers serve, their words call to you because the Soul, your Soul, is calling to be part of you through their wise words.

How To Be Whole

If you listen to the yearning of your heart, you will find a longing to love and be loved.  Your Soul is the portal of Divine Love.  When you bring your Soul into active relationship with your personality, body, emotions, and mind, you start a process of integration that brings joy and wisdom to your life. This Soul integration with your personality makes you whole.

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

The Soul is universal and beyond any dogma or religion.  Connecting with your Soul, and engaging in the process of merging your Soul with your lower-self “personality” is also beyond any dogma or doctrine.  It is universal and the next step in the spiritual journey of humanity.

Almost everybody agrees that you have a Soul.  When touched, that awareness opens you to the true nature of the Divine and the unifying principle of Love that transcends religious bigotry or dogma disagreements.

When you consciously open your life to increased Soul awareness and Soul control, you are engaging in what I have referred to as Soul/Personality merging.  Something I have called “The Greatest Merger and Acquisition Project Ever.”  This is when you can live a full life that is Soul infused.

Advantages of Connecting With Your Soul

Connecting with your Soul connects you with your internal source for Divine Wisdom and Divine Guidance.  Your Soul is the teacher that always knows and understands what you need at every phase and step of your life.  Your Soul as your teacher and guide aligns you with the Divine, however, you understand the Divine to be.

PHYSICALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your physical body facilitates healing on many levels.  For some, it is resolution and relief of pain.  It can also manifest as a sense of deep and profound relaxation.  When aligned with your Soul, it might be that you realize that your breath is more accessible, more profound and each breath you breathe is more fulfilling.

EMOTIONALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your emotional body frees you to forgive, let go of deep and troubling resentments.  It fills you with a profound peace and calm that releases closely held negative emotions, such as fear and anger.  As your emotional body fills with Soul Light, there is also an activation of Love, deep in your heart.  That Love brings you awareness of unconditional love and Divine Love.

MENTALLY

Inviting your Soul Light into your mind opens you to insight and ignites your intuition.  It also activates more creative thinking and has a dynamic impact on problem-solving in your life.

It is because of all of these powerful advantages that with every guided meditation that I create I invite you into the meditative state by asking you to “Calm Your Mind,” “Open Your Heart,” and “Invite the Light of your Soul.”

Your “personality” is the integrator of those three significant energies of the human experience.   When you consciously and with an intention (supported by meditation) affirm these embedded suggestions you are taking a significant step forward in your human evolution experience.

You are embarking on an adventure to become a new kind of human being, a human being who is aware of and in touch with their Divine Spark and their co-creatorship with God. When your lower-self merges with your higher-self you become empowered by your whole-self.

This awareness begins a quest not only to live life but live it more fully.  The adventures on this quest may bring you in touch with much that is unknown to you as you start down this path.  That is true of any great quest or adventure.  There is much your Soul knows and wishes to teach you about your true nature that is beyond the current knowledge of humans at this time.

Merging your personality with your Soul opens your life to new possibilities.  It is a magnificent adventure upon which humanity is only now embarking.  You can be the explorer of this merged awareness.

I invite you to join me in this exploration into the full power of what it means to be a human being, a being that is a part animal man but is also a creative living evolving spark of the Divine.  I invite you to Be and Become All You Are Meant to Be.

I invite you to experience the Touch of Your Soul!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Your Soul is Always an Integral Part of Who You Are

Your Soul is Always an Integral Part of Who You Are

Read Your Soul is Always an Integral Part of Who You Are article by Genevieve Gerard

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

As I was reading a previous post, I came across the phrase “a life that is soul infused.” 

The phrase “a life that is Soul infused” stayed with me in my morning meditations because in this dance through life’s adventures it is when you can let your personality and ego be infused by the love and wisdom of the Soul that the real power and resounding joy of a spiritual life are experienced.

It led me to ponder how life is different when you are “Soul infused.”

In the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, your Soul is not only an integral part of your essential nature but is also a resource you can draw upon to empower and transform your life.  That your Soul provides support and power in the overcoming of physical addictions has long been an essential element in the success of Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step programs.  The connection and surrender to the “Higher Self and Higher Power” have been a source of strength and comfort to many who have struggled with addiction.

This transition is so deeply embedded in the spiritual journey that the Ageless Wisdom refers to it as a step in your spiritual evolution.  With each spiritual initiation, there is an increasing amount of atomic energy that the Soul gains control over.  The first initiation helps and supports you in achieving mastery over your physical cravings.

Likewise, what is referred to in the Ageless Wisdom as the second initiation the individual can use their Soul influence to transcend the domination of the emotional body.  This use of your Soul as an integral part of learning life lessons is esoteric.  It clarifies ways you can gain mastery over your life through a dynamic and active relationship with your higher self, your Soul.  It takes you from being powerless in your physical cravings or vulnerable to your emotions and desires to being able to integrate and fuse the wholeness of your being in a way that allows you to manifest your full potential as a human being.

As I write these words and consider the struggle and pain that life is for so many, I cannot help but take this opportunity to assure you that within you, within the depth of your heart, within the promptings of your intuition, within the essence of your being, is your Soul.  It is and has always been with you.  Your Soul has always been a part of you.  And, most miraculously you can call upon it to help you in your life.

If, before reading these words you have through your life come to know your Soul, even in glimmers of peace and comfort that may have come to you when you prayed or meditated, then these words will resonate with you.  You might find a smile coming spontaneously to your lips.  You could feel yourself relax a bit even though nothing has changed in your life at all.

What it is empowering to understand about yourself and your Soul is that although your Soul is an essential part of your spiritual anatomy, it is most often silent allowing your personality and “lower self” to control your life.  Free will, which is an essential part of the “rules” of spiritual life require that you reach for the connection to your Soul before it gets involved. 

To have a relationship with your Soul is a choice.
        – Genevieve Gerard

In times of great sorrow, great duress, and great danger it is common in the human experience for you to reach out for that higher source connection unconsciously.  Since you are on an archetypal and intuitive level aware that your Soul is an integral part of who and what you are, this is natural.  Your consciousness is, on an ongoing basis most likely functioning as a duality that exists between your Soul and your personality ( and ego.)  What is most often the wisdom and perspective of your “Higher Self” is often unconscious.

Flashes of intuition and awareness of what is right action bargain for control of what you do and say.  Your Soul is always available to respond to your invitation and invocation.  Otherwise, it stands silently by as you explore the university of learning life and spiritual lessons from your mistakes and mishaps.

The Soul does not interfere.  It may give flashes of insight through intuition, but it leaves the control for what decisions you make firmly in the hands of your personality and ego so that can choose to listen to the intuitive nudge, or not.

Ultimately, in your life, there is a myriad of choices that need to be made.  They fall into choices you make that relate to the key aspects of your anatomy.

There are many choices and options.  There are decisions of what you eat or drink.  Decisions about whether or not you choose to indulge in the vast variety of things that are known to be bad for your body, whether or not they are addictive.  There are throughout your day a bevy of seemingly insignificant decisions that have an impact.

There are emotional choices you make.  How you express or limit your expression of your emotions has a significant impact on your life.   These are all selections you make throughout every moment and day of your life and how you make them influences your experience in a way that little else can.

Whether you are trapped in your fears or worries effects your health and your overall well-being and your personal happiness.  Your emotional choices have a dynamic influence on your life and so, calling upon the guidance and wisdom of your Soul as you strive to manage and master these volatile and dramatic parts of your being make sense.

There is also a myriad of choices you continually make that activate your mental powers.  As I have written many times in a variety of ways your thoughts are energy released into the world that has creative and magnetic power.  “Energy Follows Thought.”  Even in the most ancient of times, spiritual teachings from the Bible (Proverbs 23:7) declare “As a man thinketh so shall he be.”

As I review each of the parts of your nature and being that influence who you are, how you live and what you experience it is evident to see that your Soul can help you master every area of your life.  The incredible miracle of your nature as a human being who has been endowed by your creator with the spark of Divine Light (your Soul) is that integrated into your nature is a resource to help you through all of life’s challenges.  That is your Soul.

Expressing your Divine Spark; is a significant way to demonstrate your love and your service to others.

Your Soul is uniquely yours and always available to you to help you, guide you, support you, and empower you.  It offers you unconditional love and understanding.  It is a limitless resource that is available to you whenever you need it.

You can open your life to this love, this source of wisdom and this Divine blessing through meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

Your Soul speaks to you in the silence, through your intuition, in your dreams, and through your consciousness.
      – Genevieve Gerard

Your Soul is always an integral part of who you are.  The more you can recognize the voice of your Soul within your being, the easier it is to let the Soul’s perspective of love and wisdom direct your life decisions, physical, emotional and mental.

In so doing you invoke and invite “Soul control” and Soul infusion into the miraculous blend of your life.

There are words from the Mantram of Unification I like to use in my meditations and invocations that talks to this way of living.  I invite you to add them to your affirmations or meditations when and where you will.

Let the Soul control the outer form, and life and all events,
And bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the times.
      – Alice A. Bailey (Djwhal Khul – Discipleship in the New Age Vol II)

If moved to do so, you can also invoke the balance of the mantra, “Let vision come and insight.  Let the future stand revealed.  Let inner wisdom demonstrate, and outer cleavages be gone.  Let love prevail.  Let all men and women love.”

I find this mantram empowers and influences my life in dynamic and dramatic ways. I encourage you to take a few moments throughout every day to connect with your Soul so that you can lead a life that is Soul infused.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
