The Battle For Your Soul
Many of us don’t even know that we are in a war, a war for our souls. The battle rages on between the material world and the spiritual world, the battle within ourselves as well as the battle outside of ourselves. In our western culture today the materialistic world is winning the battle over our soul and our humanity. As we become more and more obsessed with the realms of the material world, our soul’s are beginning to wither and recede. Instead of following our soul’s path, we choose to follow the path of materialism, wealth, a sports car and a house in the suburbs. We feed our souls with cheap toys from China, hamburgers from McDonald’s and endless amounts of superficial television on a daily basis. We then wonder why our lives feel like hell and why our souls are screaming for an exit. Sometimes this exit comes to us as a sudden illness or a near death experience. These negative events change our lives drastically and we are forced to make a change, and I use the word ‘force’ very symbolically. The soul actually needs to force a change in a person’s life by creating a life altering event or catastrophe. Some souls choose the quick exit, marked death. The soul sees that the personality of the person isn’t going to follow the soul’s path, and instead of enduring 50 years of a soulless path, it decides to start the journey over again, kind of like a “do over”. So hitting a tree at 80MPH is off to a fresh start from the soul’s perspective. The majority of souls take the slow suicide death method. Instead of the soul taking any kind of quick exit, like hitting a tree, the soul hopes that at some point over an 80 year period the personality and ego will finally let go and give up control over the soul’s life. The soul patiently sits by waiting for the ego and personality to get with the soul’s program. Is your soul waiting for you to get with the program? Where in your life is your soul battling with your ego and personality? Maybe it’s time to let your soul win and finish what it needs to finish in this lifetime.
