The End of Yearning
Adapted from The Deeper Wound, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2001).
In India it has been taught for centuries that the soul has two faces. One face is turned toward God and knows itself as being made of the same holy essence. The other face is turned toward creation, and although it knows itself as divine, it can experience birth and death. Although both are aspects of your soul, without one you would never have left God and eternity to enter your body. Without the other you would never know that something sacred lies behind the mask of the material world.
I often marvel at the ingenuity of grace, which contains infinity in the finite, bliss inside pain, clarity despite the fog, love despite conflict. This is God’s magic act, to make us so that we will be both born and undying.

You are probably familiar with the work of Gregg Braden - who has discovered the Sacred Name of God encoded in the genes of each and every person on this planet ! This is not to speak of some "Holy God" on high . . . whom we should fear.
This is THE GOD who made and IS everything and everywhere. That means that s/he - by definition - CANNOT NOT be in YOU !
That Sacred Name has been hidden from the common man for thousands of years, but I feel that it is now time for this "Name" to be available to man . . . for his use in his hour of great need.

I have foind my soul again and though I cannot put a name to a craetor I believe in one. I was broight up in a judeo christian tradition and if that works for some I honour and respect that. I find that I am returning to my celtic roots and see life and death as two sides of the same coin. I don't want to limit my creator by naming, if that makes any sense. My understanding of God/Goddess is netiher male nor female nor anything inbetween. It is far greater than my imagination can fathom. Each and every individual has to come to their own personal understanding and each is valid.

According to the Urantia Book, the divine self lovingly builds our morontial soul since the age of discretion. Later on we fuse and become one, with divine and eternal status.Frederico

My mortal half and my eternal half are very close friends, like tree and blossom. I love the life-trip and my earthly-vessel too, and only Soul-Captain knows where the passage to further journeys is. There are interesting comments here and I most enjoyed Victor's, for I feel the same.

It seems to me that in most Christian beliefs today the part of our own divine heritage is left out and we are made to believe that we are less than what the creator intended us to be which tends to separate us from and isolate us from the knowledge that we carry within us the DNA of the Creator. We seem to have pushed aside the attempts to learn and progress into our divine heritage. We call God, "Father" but reject what this means.

As one "raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition," this makes perfect sense to me. It strengthens my sense of the Oneness of Creator and the created.

One way to look at it might be to compared it to Jesus Christ leaving heaven and coming to earth and then returning to His home with God. Jesus was both Spirit and man at the same time.

God creates the whole Universe in where we live. Also gave us the animals, birds, vegetation the whole atmosphere to live with it. We are from our antecestor parents Adam and Eve. The Holy Bible is the sacred book, where we set all our creeds and guides as christians.

I am a World war veteran of the Royal Navy there must be a divine being looking after all, as from experience I have been near death many times in my 83 years of life,and at the last nanosecond something has saved me, why ?? I think it is because I prayed for help, and I am not a church goer or over religious,but I have God to thank for still being on this planet today,I feel sorry for the sceptics , Take care ,Victor
