EXCERPT

THE LIFE OF A SOUL

How little we understand the life of a soul. Usually, when we hear the word life, we imagine the ability of our body to move. Life means movement, an endless chain of movements and thoughts. However, even a tree and flower have their own movements. Their life is a life of silence, modesty, and inconspicuousness.

However, beyond the life of matter and movement, there is hidden a more gentle life, covered with everything which is visible and material. Completely inconspicuous and invisible, this life is a golden pearl of the substance of our existence. The life of a soul, as gentle as the most gentle summer breeze or vibration of the net of the spider’s web, is impossible to be touched by the hand.

Soul is the word of a thousand possible explanations and imaginations, and, even so, it is impossible to express its exact meaning. No philosophy can make a precise definition. It is invisible, but, in the deepest silence of the heart, it is the greatest certainty. The soul s radiation illuminates the cave of our inward being.

Soul is, in fact, the substance of our life, resting as an eternal, silently flowing stream of the Spirit, in our body. Some of us are not even aware of its existence because we don’t want to lower ourselves into the mirror’s depth of our inwardness, where the matter of the body ends and starts the realm of the Spirit.

The life of a soul is a vibration of the mysterious and the unknown, with its hesitations and uncertainty. How little sometimes we believe in the soul’s presence and, at the same time fail to notice that, without a soul, there wouldn’t be a life, there wouldn’t be a human existence. What would the Universe be without the souls, without the sparks of God? Only a pile of star dust in the eternal circulation of break up of matter.

Death is existence without the Spirit, life without the soul. Therefore death, cannot exist, because it would be proof of nonexistence of the Spirit and soul, which are the main reality , the vibrating existence, which has its origin in the Light of God. Death, as an end of continuity and evolution, doesn't exist because the space of the Universe, even in its smallest grain, is filled with the light of life, with the energy of the Spirit and with the presence of God.

With every birth of a body, the soul, as a silky yard descends into the body s substance, in order to fill it up with the energy of life and become part of the stream of immortality. In the chain of thousands of lives, a soul fulfills its purpose of eternal life, even though sometimes quite unnoticed during the whole life. The stream of immortality can never dry out or disappear. Its energy is here and continues to shine the same way as the light of billions of stars on the dark firmament of the Universe. Even if we don’t see their physical body, we are able to see their light.

Sometimes, there are days, weeks, years or decades, when we don’t hear a bubble of the springlet of the life of the soul and we are letting it, by our ignorance, almost die out. The springlet, however, is protected by its own eternal substance, which is in itself everlasting and eternally alive. It continues to flow, waiting for the time, when we will be touched by the Providence and wake up into the world of the Spirit.
