Cells, Souls, & the good of the Whole

cellsThe Angels – You have more cells in your body than there are people upon your earth.They form a vast and complex civilization. They know that their existence depends upon one another and they work for the good of the whole.

It would be absurd for the heart to say to the toenail, “I am more important than you! Without me the body would die.” If you ask anyone who has lost a toenail, being in heaven due to a failed heart is certainly easier than coping with the pain of losing the nail on earth!

Likewise it would not make any sense at all for the bone to say to the skin, “I am more important! If I break, my person is disabled for several weeks. If you break you heal more easily.” The bone knows that the skin gives it a protective barrier, is more sensitive, and therefore has to heal more quickly.

Reach Towards The Soul And Your True Identity

bodyVeronica – In physical reality it is so easy to forget who you are.  The great focus needed to be in that body supersedes the clear vision that all of you possess.

Decide to take time each day to simply ‘Be’ in that body you are currently residing in.  Each action, is a reflection of the soul and its desire to grow and expand.

Your spiritual identification does not reside just in the physical body.  It emanates from the source energy from which you came.  You will remember the body, but more like a costume than a singular identification. Continue reading

Mind, Self, Spirit and Soul: What’s the Difference?

soulMateo Sol – Matilde, one of our readers from Switzerland recently asked:

“What’s the difference between the mind, body, spirit, soul and the self? In an article, you say that we should question who we are and that we will discover that we are not our minds, but that we are nothing and everything at the same time. But what about the soul? Is the soul individual? Are we all separate souls? Or are we the self, and we are all one?”

I’ve come across this question a few times on lonerwolf.com. Knowing the difference can liberate you from who you think you are, to love who you truly are.

The Difference Between the Mind, Brain and Body?

In order to understand the difference between the mind and the self, we must first learn to distinguish between the body and the mind. Continue reading

The Body’s Natural State is Health, Not Disease, as We’ve Been Led to Believe

diseaseMarco Torres – There is a reason for every disease state. It is the body’s attempt at restoring balance. A healthy body is incapable of maintaining a state of one disease and healing another. The body heals holistically, and the processes that create each disease affect the body as a whole.

From the time we are conceived until the time we die, the cells in our bodies are endlessly working to maintain a natural state of homeostasis or equilibrium. When we turn to medicine or medical technology to manipulate our own body systems to heal us, we are really only facilitating our natural ability to heal from within. A diseased body is no coincidence and the natural state of every human being is health, not disease.

The duress of disease can influence our ability not only to deal with the pain but also to express it. In specific states of disease, some people cannot help but wonder if their body is working to maintain its natural state of health. Continue reading

Tailor your Voice for different Purposes

voiceJill Mattson – Our voice is a “many splendored tool,” which we do not use to its full potential. We don’t even know it can be tailored for different purposes. Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Master, suggested that you could tell a successful man by the quality of his voice alone. The quickest way to be successful is to alter his voice. Wow, could that really be so?

Why not try it? It can’t be that hard. Listen to the voices of highly successful people that you admire and notice what you like about their voice and then incorporate it into your own voice. Watch your life change!

A powerful voice technique is to practice tailoring your voice to the purpose at hand!
