Day 7 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Our soul is infinitely complete

Lesson 7: Our soul is infinitely complete...

I realise that I'm running a day behind which is something I need to work on around time management more than anything. Weekend plans can really take up all of my time but I don't want to place pressure on myself to have to rush to post. I truly want to write with a genuine touch. So here we go...

Lesson Seven: Your soul is infinitely complete; it is your Divine container. We are always soul, one with One. Yet in earth life, in the human experience, we exist in human container. This includes the body, the sensations, emotions, and most importantly.... the heart. In the human experience, the heart is the way in which we grow.

Exercise: Do you feel your heart is open today, or closed? Close your eyes, breathe, and ask your heart to tell you.

I feel that my heart has been closed for some time and I am only just realising that I need to open up. I know I got this way after a series of let downs from other people, a series of unfortunate events that happened in my life and then I wanted to focus on just getting my life in check. I don't want to go into major detail but I know I closed myself off. I guess it's a defense mechanism to avoid disappointment, to close off from being hurt and placing a guard up was easy in order to protect myself. I know now, by closing off, it means I'm not really experiencing everything fully. All the emotions through experience should be lived in order to learn and gain perspective. Sometimes I just didn't want to feel.

As I started my spiritual journey (after a major connection to the universe), I told people that I want to live with pure love in my heart. That was the mission I set for myself. Let me tell you, it's the hardest accomplishment to achieve. I try to live to be more tolerant and understanding of others. There are times when you really question why another human does something to another which is hurtful and wrong. I am opening pieces of my heart to the world. It's working progress and I feel that I am slowly changing as a person by embracing this path. I want to give out this love for every being in order to receive it in return. If I don't achieve pure love in my heart then I want to at least try to be more open to it.
