Your Pure Soul Presence

Take a moment to become aware of who is reading this page. Do you feel a presence? That presence is not your mind; it’s your soul. The mind might be saying, What am I going to have for lunch? or I wonder what time it is. The inner dialogue happens in the presence of the soul.

Thoughts come and go, feelings come and go. The molecules of the body come and go. But they come and go in this presence.This presence, the soul, recycles itself as your memories, your moods, and even your personality, because you don’t have the same personality today that you had when you were 5 years of age, or when you were 15.

You personality is an expression of the evolving universe; it’s constantly changing, growing, evolving, transforming.

Who is going through this experience? The real you–the you that we call pure consciousness, the field of intelligence, the inner self, the soul, the spirit, the infinite consciousness, the Being within you. Here, we have used all of these terms synonymously.

If you get in touch with this presence, if you really become intimate with it because it’s your own inner self, then you will know experientially, without anybody telling you, that this presence was there before you were born, and it will be there after you die.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid there are a lot of people out there who emotionally are the same now as they were at 5 or 15. I don't know why they have not evolved. Trauma perhaps, or illness, or just a life based on beliefs that started with flawed premises to begin with. And some people are still fighting that worn out battle over atheisiam verses religian. It's a stage we go thru on the way to the real thing.

Oh Deepak what a wonderful post again today. I believe this is also the reason that so many of us return to these pages on a daily basis and comment, it's a dialogue between 'souls'. Your messages resonate within our soul....it's our soul that steers us back here.....my daily dose of Soular Energy. A wonderful way to start the day......a few minutes of total awareness of all that is within /without.....and simply is. Life if beautiful......enjoy your day everyone. Thanks again Deepak, Namaste.

Ah, Dee Dee W, I know so many atheists and agnostics that display a truer love than many professed followers of Jesus.

I've heard this explanation many times but still haven't been able to disassociate the mind from the soul. Must be lovely though.
