Attempts to connect karma, soul, heart-energy and energy field to heartache, grief, illness, setbacks as well as to ‘lucky’ breaks, good news and momentary lulls in our lives just don’t work. Although the deconstruction of a situation from a spiritual angle is meant to explain differently what needs to be understood – as well as empower – it usually falls on fallow ground and annoys more than placates.
What glimmer of understanding might be cast along with a necessary shift of perception from within are mostly overtly or covertly dismissed as drivel leading to what is unattainable and I understand why it is so.

Souls_No Such Thing as a Lost soul [part 2/2]
by C.C. Saint-clair • • 1 Comment
Remember, we are souls in disguise. We are disguised in our body, in a body suit or, as Alan Watts called it, in our ‘bag of skin’. Remember, too, that though we only have one lifetime to act out, our soul is already loaded down by a heavy string of lives, past incarnations, anchored in the Dawn of Times.

It is through a soulful link to our spirit and through the underlying principle that, though each challenge comes uninvited and is always most inopportune, we need to ‘actively’ accept all our disappointments and setbacks with an open heart. Accepting under duress and acquiring a ‘poor me’ victim status are not viable options. It doesn’t score us any points but this resentful passivity does make us sick. It forces us to make mistakes – sometimes irreparable ones.

We are as hypnotized by the Dalai Lama as if he were the only one who can remind us that an honest and ongoing acceptance of the karmic tests, as they present themselves in many of our days, is essential…

Like a recurring itch that keeps annoying me, there something about the compassionate and bubbly spiritual figurehead of Tibetan Buddhism – the one that reminds so many of the kindly, cuddly and wise grandfather they had or wish they had had – that makes me want to scratch … below the surface.

Edited to include survivors of the New Zealand earthquake:Today, I’m doing a quick edit to add that, sadly, I’m once again feeling quite unspiritual because I still don’t get why being alive for so many victims and survivors [this time it’s of the massive earthquake that, yesterday, crumpled the city of Christchurch, in neighboring New Zealand,] is a simple matter of ‘luck’ or ‘miracle’ – subtext: “i’ve got no f -ing clue why I was spared.’
Destiny/Fate_What DOES keep us alive-or NOT [part2/2]

There is a quirky English colloquialism referring to the chest deep, often overweight sopranos, that states that it ain’t over till the fat lady sings but, truly, those of us who are open to considering that real control upon our persons is not ours to yield, we can agree that it ain’t over till soul says so.

Maybe it was the dark appeal of the vehicle itself that swayed my thinking, but I felt the slogan had strong whiffs of ultra-rightist ideology. I then pondered the impossibility for anyone to truly justify their existence.

I then pondered the impossibility for anyone to truly justify their existence.
I mean, we can’t get away with it simply by saying I need to exist because I’m a good person or Because it’s my right or Because i was born or Because I’m a mother or Because the work I do is important … can we?

Earth is surrounded by a huge magnetic field and we cannot but react magnetically to every aspect of it in our days. We react magnetically to fauna, flora and to minerals, just as we react emotionally, mentally, spiritually and philosophically. Our attraction to each other is magnetic.
