Soul and Brain : A marriage made in Heaven?

There is a lingering, illusive assurance dwelling deep within our being assuring us that our life has been predetermined, and our origin has its genesis far beyond this current physical existence.

This whispering reassurance reminds us that we are the very essence of Source itself, incarnated in a particular human form within a physical realm of existence.

But many people remain unaware or have lost touch with the proddings of this innate universal truth because creaturely egos have a natural propensity to overshadow and superimpose their own structured belief patterns and constructed meaning to try and appease their own existential anxiety and uneasiness.

Ultimate truth and ego could be considered as ‘uncomfortable bed fellows’ living out the precarious tension of two different worlds, rather than coexisting in a ‘hand in hand’ harmonious relationship.

Ego is primarily concerned with the biological processing of organic information and emotional based issues, whereas our deeper universal Authentic Self is the recipient and beneficiary of our human experience and its relatedness to Source.

Unfortunately, the more that we place our trust within the creaturely human processes of rational justification, the more we may tend to overshadow our eternal purpose.

The way of the soul is to be the beneficiary of our human individuation in order that it may develop a unique individual consciousness and appreciation of self within Source.

The Soul is far more willing to work with the ego, than vice versa.  The ego likes to ‘go it alone!’

The good news is that our eternal core, the primary orchestrator of ultimate significance, will never desert us.

Throughout our physical sojourn, the incessant prodding of our eternal core comes to the fore, particularly during those fragile, broken times in our lives. Unfortunately, many still continue to address these emotional upheavals and moments of insight at a purely intellectual level.

The paradox seems to be that our eternal significance may only be able to be rediscovered and reclaimed during physical trauma and decline. As the years pass and the human condition deteriorates, the delusion of ‘rational integrity’ slowly dissipates and we are brought to realise that all intellectual answers offer little solace and comfort from a physical perspective. The good news is that this can be the precursor in rediscovering our true cosmic nature, an eternally orchestrated process that eventually saves us from our physical mindsets and clambering for rational certainty.

It is important that that we come to understand that ‘enlightenment’ happens when we accept that most of our answers are a direct reaction to existential moments of physical and emotional insecurity and change.

And the further good news is that ultimate salvation (the saving of ourselves from ourselves) is always operative, and comes with comforting arms, again and again, penetrating the rigid veneer of our existential rationalisations, even though some of us will literally be ‘dragged screaming’ back to our true source beyond the insanity of rational comfort and ill-conceived answers.

Till the next present moment
