Soul is our connection with Spirit, with God.
Few people have actually experienced their souls because they assume that the task would be difficult, arduous, and just more work to add to their daily lives. But experiencing our soul is the easiest thing we can do. "Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be open."
The starting point, says Ernest Holmes, is a love that cannot hurt, and a faith that will not be denied.
The force of conditioning pulls us toward a life of effort and struggle; the force of soul pulls us toward a life that is effortless. Most of society accepts that life is difficult, so the first force has many allies behind it, making it seem overwhelmingly strong. In contrast, the soul's force is so incredibly subtle and intimately experienced within us. The soul is us. It is who we are. The power of transformation exists, and it operates from the centre of our own being. It is an infinite goodness that wants to be expressed. And it can only be expressed through us.
