I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of the imagination. -- John Keats
That which we dwell upon, we bring into our experience more and more. We may have complaints; emptiness; meaninglessness; vague depression; disillusionment about marriage, family, and relationships; a loss of values; a yearning for personal fulfillment; and a hunger for spirituality. In that, we reflect a loss of the soul and what the soul craves. We cannot solve our emotional problems until we grasp the mystery that is honouring the Divine and the Departed (our ancestors). The Divine and the Departed is part of the basic care that, as human beings, we have to bring to life.
Soul-work is not adjusting to the norms of society but, rather, the goal is a richly elaborate life connected to society and nature, woven into the culture of family, nature, and the globe.
