An increasing number of our contemporaries are beginning to show interest in spirituality, self-development and are asking questions about the Universe, about the higher mind, about the universe, about the strength of the soul ... They seek and find answers in literature, religion, in various esoteric knowledge and other sources. From the Bible we know that the soul is the breath of God into the physical body of man. By accepting this breath, the body gains Life. Having lost it, it dies. About what the human soul, its qualities, strength and manifestations will be discussed in the article.
Soul and Spirit
The concept of soul and spirituality is closely related, but they have very serious differences.
The first is enclosed in the body at the time of birth or conception. The strength of the soul gives a person motivation for existence, knowledge of the world. Three lines of action - feelings, desires and thoughts - connect the identity of its owner with the world. They, like blood, permeate the whole body and penetrate into its smallest components. The strength of the soul allows a person to continue to live. And besides, to feel, see, breathe, speak, desire, dream ... A person has a soul as well as a body. The soul is the essence of man.
The spirit is called to revitalize the soul. And it cannot belong to the body. He strives for the Supreme and calls for the soul. He is not attracted to earthly joys; he easily leaves the human body and also returns easily. It is his presence that puts a person at the highest level in the hierarchy of all living things.
Spiritual qualities
Psychologist Oleg Gadetsky states:
All higher qualities are a manifestation of the soul; all lower ones belong to material nature.
Positive spiritual qualities are virtues inherent in her from the creator. It is easiest to recognize them with the help of affairs that a person commits:
- Help neighbor.
- Respect and courtship of the elderly and infirm.
- Charity.
- Hospitality.
- Internal and external purity of one’s own body and its environment.
- The ability to celebrate and enjoy.
- Fulfillment of promises and vows.
- Caring for children. Caring for pets.
- Compliance with moral and ethical standards.
The strength of the soul directs consciousness to commit good, pious deeds and deeds that help develop the best spiritual qualities.
And people are coming ...
It is also worth recalling the statement of St. John Chrysostom:
Nothing gives the soul so much strength as freedom from worries, and nothing makes it so weak as the burden of worries.
Many people do not think about their soul. They are more concerned about gaining various kinds of material values, obtaining bodily pleasures and other things. And it’s not their fault. Social standards and life values of society impose on us from early childhood that a person needs to acquire as many things as possible and achieve a prestigious position.
And only experiencing suffering or experiencing difficult times, we think about the forces of the soul and body. We turn to the Higher for help and support.
Few people consciously go in search of their spiritual beginning. Fortunately, there are more and more of them. Those who complete the spiritual search come to the knowledge of their own soul. They talk about the path traveled, bring Great Knowledge, and provide invaluable assistance to those who are on a quest.
Find your soul
The soul has an invisible connection with the body to the eyes. In some teachings, it is described as a silver thread, which at the time of the physical death of the body, releases the soul to freedom.
Can a material description of the soul be given? In some practices, they use their own tools, with the help of which they describe its color, size, flaws. The veracity of such information will prove time.
We believe that the soul is invisible, because it is consciousness. And it belongs to a dimension where only true Light and Sound exist.
The outward expression of the soul is our attention. The mind is constantly busy commenting on the life report and distracts attention from the door leading to the Higher. The endless stream of thoughts can be stopped with the help of various techniques (prayer, meditation, trance, and so on) and look inside yourself, discovering the power of the soul and the coordination of will.
Her tongue
What do we feel when we say: “the soul is sore or aching,” “the soul is getting colder,” “the soul is screaming,” and so on. Anxiety, fear, pain. Where does this come from? How else can the Universe or God communicate with us? We ask them for protection, help, but often do not pay attention to the signs that are sent to us.
We are constantly cared for and protected. The language of the soul is different from ours. This is a language of subtle feelings that describes our emotional, energetic state. It is important to listen to what they want to tell us. It is important to keep an eye on what signs are being sent to us.
If a person is calm or joyfully excited, then he is on the right track. And his soul sings! If, on the contrary, the feeling of depression and anxiety does not leave, it is worth reconsidering your path. Perhaps they want to save a person from something.
- Tongue kicks. These are incredible random events. For example, you stammered, broke something, or you were “hurt by a living” phrase accidentally dropped by someone.
- The language of the situation. Example: being late, breaking an important meeting, breaking an agreement, and so on.
- The language of failure. In this case, the person who is "taken" is the most important attachment for him. For example, money, relationships, career.
- Language of direct contact. In search of an answer, a man goes to grandmothers, clairvoyants. Or suddenly receives a book, or an invitation to classes. With this help, he finds the reason for the negative happening to him.
- The language of addiction. From bad habits, slot machines and so on.
- Language of choice. Severe illness, accidents.
Creator, like a wise parent. Starts with a little shake. But if a person rejects information, does not change his attitude to what is happening, does not want to take lessons, the punishment is toughened, up to the termination of any independent choice.
Love
Words of the famous writer Erich Maria Remarque:
If a soul reaches out to someone, don’t resist ... She is the only one who knows exactly what we need!
It is impossible for a person to live without love. Each of us feels the need to satisfy emotional and sensory needs.
But how often he is deceived, taking for a true feeling simply physical dependence on another person, the ability to possess someone else's will and feelings. The love of a person makes a man a slave who is attached to the object of desire and sees in his beloved the meaning of life, only with him he connects his future.
True love is the achievement of soul power. Unconditional, quiet, filled with trust, freedom, warmth and wisdom. She gives wings to loved ones, does not impose any stereotypes or opinions.
The power of the human soul is able to hear the thoughts of the hearts of other people, to see their unity. And to find true happiness in this unity.
Health
Our own health and the health of our loved ones is the most expensive and important for a person. This is something that is difficult to buy, but very easy to lose. This is a state that allows you to accomplish what is intended or to carry out what is felt. Soul power and human health depend on two main components:
- Maintaining a balance of actions of filling with power and actions of cleansing from unnecessary.
- The unity of body, soul and spirit.
The second - the unity of the physical, mental and spiritual - is manifested:
- in the feelings that a person is able to experience;
- and what emotions evoke these experiences; what is their manifestation.
The greater the strength of the soul and the stronger its health, the higher the feelings experienced by its owner and, accordingly, the emotions expressed by him are brighter and more positive.
Filling and purification
John Holland believed:
Your soul is very wise and always attracts to itself what you need to learn in life.
To maintain mental health requires serious work with the body and thoughts. It is thoughts that cause us to manifest both positive and negative emotions. And thoughts are born from experienced feelings.
The strength of the soul weakens from the anger that destroys it, envy, anger, hatred, resentment and the like. And vice versa, it becomes more when a person experiences joy, admiration, gratitude, sympathy, love, tenderness.
Experts recommend a unique set of "tools" for cleansing the body and filling it with strength, which will help get rid of negative thoughts and, as a result, lead to mental recovery.
Cleansing Tools:
- proper therapeutic fasting;
- fast;
- physical exercises and exercises;
- bathing practices;
- massage;
- hardening of the body.
Filling Tools:
- proper, healthy nutrition;
- travels;
- walks in the open air;
- creation;
- hobby.
In a healthy body healthy mind. Trite, but simple and true.
Work
The soul goes through certain stages of development and growth.
Having a baby is a real miracle. Communication with babies brings a huge amount of positive emotions and causes the birth of high feelings. How can this be explained?
The baby’s soul is pure. And the same pure adult soul reaches for her. But she was imprisoned by strong walls, consisting of past negative experiences, which contain resentment, failure and loss, anger and intolerance towards others.
To free the forces of the soul to achieve a state of love and peace, trust in the world and the Supreme, and joy in life is the goal of many seekers.
Awakening
Man created in the image of God is a powerful being. It contains the colossal forces of the spiritual and energy sphere of the universe. But, unfortunately, the majority leave without knowing their higher nature, without awakening the hidden powers of the soul.
But this is not difficult. Take a look around! There are so many in need of your help or participation. Do good. Provide support to loved ones and friends. Sometimes someone really needs to just say: "How good that you are!".
The great strength of the human soul was shown by those who, without fear of death, saved others. From fire, from water, from bullets, hunger, cold. Those who defended their country, people.
Three ways of life
Pay attention to the words of the Monk Maximus the Confessor:
When the three powers of the soul: reasonable, irritable and desirable - from the simplicity of the one and only good, they turn to the consideration and discrimination of evil and good things that exist here in the world. Then desire, and thought, and feeling inseparably rush to that which is contrary to the will of God. For then the irritable force moves only towards these and among these things.
A person combines three ways of life:
- plant life;
- life of animals;
- life of angels.
The plant (lower) component is manifested in the awareness of the physiological functions of the body - nutrition, respiration, reproduction. The ego reason (emotions, desires) is characteristic of a bodily state.
Animal (intermediate) - in the appearance of sensory desires, the implementation of voluntary activity. The state of mind is characterized by a moral mind (feelings, will).
Angelic (higher) rewards a person with the ability for spiritual life, for communion with God. She has a spiritual mind (experiences, intentions).
Needs
According to the Creator's Conception, a person must have spiritual needs as the leading ones, so that the spirit controls the soul, and the soul - the body. Violation of this hierarchy is a perversion of human nature. Spiritual needs are above all, without their satisfaction we cannot find harmony.
The great power of the soul of man leads him to the realization of his essence. To understanding the unity of everything and everyone on Earth. Gives him a sense of responsibility for everything that he did, thought, felt, felt.
Soul recognition
Probably, everyone happened to get into a situation when, when meeting a stranger, it seems that you know him well. He is so close, painfully dear. This meeting awakens you to experience the strongest, amazing to the core, emotions and feelings. This phenomenon is called soul recognition.
It is unlikely that this person will “recognize” you. But this fact serves as proof that our souls communicate and are closely connected with each other. And it does not depend on our consciousness.
Esoteric science describes two types of connections that lead to each other and unite them with one fate:
Karmic connection is part of the usual order of evolution. Cosmic communication is super normal in that it belongs to a completely different set of laws. This is one of the Great Sacraments. It is the destiny of the initiates and is mentioned only for the reason that so many try to approach it without being initiated. That is, they are experimenting with the great forces of nature in complete ignorance of their character and power, which is very unsafe.
