All men may be created equal, but when it comes to Souls, not all are at the same stage of evolution!
In this lifetime, some of us are here just to "BE"; others to have fun, and yet others to enjoy the "fruits of our labor." Then there are those who are here to re-connect closer to the Soul within them.
According to author and spiritual teacher, Gary Zukav (see upcoming Book Review, Seat of the Soul, on March 22), we know we are on a Soul connection when we are able to plug into multi-sensory perceptions vs. only those of the five senses. So, if you know you "sense" things beyond what you can hear, see, touch, feel and smell, and you have a magnificent obsession with discovering more about what you "sense," then you're here on your Soul's journey of reconnection.
And when it comes to the work of your Soul, there is NO timetable!
The process is the thing.
That process can take many, many years, and there can be many stops and starts. ONLY YOU know the truth about you and your Soul and your "becoming!"
Don't ever, ever let ANY ONE stand in the way of you and your Go(o)d on your way to that "becoming!"
Many times the road is dark and lonely. You feel all alone. Compounded with that, there are those who would want you to begin to doubt yourself, who would try to ridicule you and shame you, because you're no longer occupied with "things" of the world! They would have you think that they are blessed and you are CURSED, because maybe you're not as outwardly successful as they seem to be. A few, really unconcious and presumptuous ones, may even try to suggest that THEY, not your Soul, not God, have "things" to TEACH you!
Don't get distracted by such nonsense...because that's ALL it is! You are on your way to BECOMING! You'll be much freer than they could ever dream of being!
Don't ever let ANYONE put you on their timetable or schedule for becoming ...ANYTHING!
The work of your Soul is between you and your God, i.e. your Soul!
Matthew 8: 23: "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead!"
This has oft been misinterpreted, but what Jesus essentially meant here is: "Let the things of the past remain there!"
I know this to be true when I've gone contrary to this wisdom...
Don't drag along someone from your past into your future...if he or she doesn't belong there! People are in your life for a reason and a season! Few should be invited to accompany you in a lifetime.
KNOW this!
Indeed, even if your family stands in the way of you and your Go(o)d, leave them behind, too.
Matthew 12:25:"Every kingdom divided against itself shall not stand!"
Matthew 13:57:"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own house!"
Jesus also said you cannot find the kingdom of God, unless you're willing to give up father, mother, wife (husband), children, sister and brother. Even your own self...and your OLD values!
Luke 14:26: "If any man come to me and hate not his father, and mother and wife and children and brethen and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
If your family and others in your life are seeing life from the inactive side of Infinity, they will never fully understand what you're up to. So sometimes, walking away from them is necessary in this walk with the Soul! Send them love from a distance!
Mark 9:47: "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell fire."
Don't let anyone, with his or her own agenda, intolerance or ignorance, stand in the way of your connecting fully to your Soul!
Please enjoy the poem, below, written after a long night with my Soul!
Namaste',

Oh, my SOUL! by Che'
Oh my soul!
How lost I was to Thee!
Oh my soul...
When I could not see the truth of what you were to me!
Oh my soul!
There were so many barriers
Placed to separate us...
First, there were people
Next, there were places
Then, there were things...
Objects of my desire
If Only I knew then
All that you meant to me!
Oh my soul!
Without you I was lost
Life had little meaning; it was all a farce
Oh! My soul!
How lost I was to thee
When in people, places and in things
I placed my faith
Not knowing
Only claiming
A life as empty as it could be
When the truth
Of you to me
I could not see
Oh my Soul!
The years of your absence have taken a toll
Now I’ve grown old
Yet in my Spirit
I’ve found a life...
Worth so much more than Gold!
Oh my soul!
How treasured you will be
In all the years left in me!
I’ve searched the fields far & wide
Through all the places you had to hide
I’ve found my pearl
I’ve found my wealth
I’ve found the riches I thought I’d spent!
About the years ahead
I feel a Glow
And now the world we must Show
Oh my soul
The power in me that you
Flow
Through me
As me
Oh, my soul!
Che’
