Being Soul in Material Existence

All of creation, look around you; let your mind visualize what your memory and senses bring – all of it, every living organism, everything, even the virus and parasite in or on the body of man, animal, wood, trees, is life/soul manifested in material.  (There are merely different levels of existence and this directly results from our Karma and True Dharma, but this is a different topic)

Accepting this as an Absolute Truth is implies that we are a subtle being carried in gross matter.

This creates an immediate opposite or diagonal opposing “elements” or “experiences” for me and you manifested in a human body.

Spirit enters body.  The human potential is to see beyond the mundane of existence (the dull, the boring, the stale and gross, to go beyond experiences that leads to dread but being able to seek fulfillment).

Humans also can reflect,  do introspection and debate on deliberate philosophies on one’s personal condition and the condition of our community and the world we life in.

We have the inherent aptitude to seek our origin – this applies on all levels, material manifestation and soul manifestation – we want to know where we come from and to where it is we are returning to.

All of this gives us the potential to be inquisitive and receptive to our own truths and Universal Truths.  And this makes us the creation that holds power on and over all other forms of life on earth and also puts us in a power struggle against each other.

We as humans holds these qualities and then also share four other qualities with the rest of creation – eating, sleeping, mating and defending or survival instincts – we share this with plants, animals, bacteria, viruses – with the whole of creation, both the darker side and the enlightened side, and the in-between spirits that has manifested with us in this material world.

We as humans feels purpose and the only way we can move closer to our purpose is to see the body, and what we have materialistically, as a vehicle and tools, for the Soul, to refine to the finest of Being in this lifetime.

If we lose the balance between the diagonally opposing elements that we are – the body and the soul – the gross and the subtle. The deteriorating versus the eternal. We stay unfulfilled and unhappy.

We accept that our material body and existence is temporary and subjected to constant change – civilisations has risen and fallen to dust – and this is true for every single living organism. The body will diminish and we have it to serve our personal/spiritual refinement.

Without Soul and Intellect, the body lacks all forms of consciousness, awareness and purpose.

Pleasure we invested in the body,-keep on buying things, seeking thrills and prestige, seeking approval, eating mindlessly, shaping the body to fit the approval of society, is short lived. It is giving power to your own deterioration.

Any endeavour in material happiness results in pain and suffering.

We are in a contradiction of soul and body and need to seek the fine balance between the two.  We need to see that refinement brings the finer pleasures.

We refine ourselves by living according to the Yamas and Niymas.  By only taking and keeping what we need for comfort.  By looking out and taking care of others.

By not accumulating anything is more than what we need to sustain ourselves, not in our bodies, on our bodies or around us.

We celebrate the fruits of our fellow beings, – the art they created, the beauty of this world, the gifts of composers, doctors, scientists, students, yogi’s, spiritual leaders, the fruits of souls that has brought effort towards living their true purpose and now their fruits is a gift to all of humanity and living beings.

If we seek happiness in money and in prestige, we will only encounter distress.  Let you find happiness in your purpose. We are here with the certainty of death – of a body that will deteriorate and turn to dust.  The Soul is Eternal.  Celebrate, joyously, create and refine your inner Calling.  This is never-changing and ongoing.  Your actions and Karma accumulate,

In learning and seeking knowledge.  In Compassion and Love.  Love is the only creator there is.

Create your wealth, happiness, pleasures and spiritual being, shape and learn from the basis and heart-space of Love.  This is the homeostasis-miracle to heal body and soul.

Enough for today…May all Beings Be Blessed.  May all Beings Love and Be Loved.  May we, as Creation, find Homeostasis between the opposing forces of Material and of Being Soul.
