The Ukraine War and The Soul?
As the Ukraine war rages thousands of miles away from the comfort of North America, it has becomes a topic that we discussed quite a bit at in our yoga teacher trainings.
Essentially the topic comes up that the war itself is the battle between good and bad. In essence, per Hindu culture this is true. But how does the soul relate to the Ukraine War specifically.
What is it
The soul is formless. To attempt to describe it in words limits soul’s true nature and its true potential.
In the same way, it is impossible to capture God’s essence into a few phrases. Information and understanding about the soul can only be realized.
This means the human mind must become aware of something greater than itself. It must recognize the observer of the mind/ego.
The soul, unlike the mind, is unable to judge and perceive the world in terms of likes and dislikes. It simply understands a higher perspective that all is love and all is one.
Formless
Being formless yet entirely complete, the soul must incarnate into a body to experience anything outside of oneness with all that is. I believe the soul does this because it has its own evolutionary journey that exists beyond this lifetime.
The soul is part of the source of God, it is our truest form, yet it cannot be seen with human eyes. This idea reveals who we are outside of this body and realm. We are formless and eternal. The soul lives in the body and keeps the body alive through the life force energy that flows through the body.
Life Energy
This life force energy is a direct connection to God; it is an extension of the One Infinite Source. Even when the soul is within the body experiencing the illusion of separation in the physical realm, the soul is always connected to and one with Source.
As humans, we learn about the soul at a relatively young age, but our society and lifestyles do not recognize and honour the soul.
Mundane
Over time, we may begin to function without much thought about the soul at all. Life can feel mundane, lonely, and unexciting when we are disconnected from the truth about ourselves.
However, once the mind recognizes the soul and begins to listen within, life starts to change. Ordinary things start to seem more beautiful, loving, and exciting. We gain a sense of purpose.
Purpose
We can tap into this purpose by bringing complete awareness to our souls and learning how it communicates. Our external actions, liking fighting aganist evil, helps us to become more like god.
In aligning our souls with our bodies and minds we transcend the illusion of separation in the physical world. Alongside this, we can allow our souls to guide our lives. In doing this, we open our consciousness to new ideas and experiences.
Source
We allow ourselves to feel and experience the eternal love and support of Source while still in the physical realm.
We can heal ourselves and experience the life of our dreams. When the soul is in control of our lives, we can trust that we will be led in the right direction.
Benevolence
Being connected to Source, the soul has similar qualities of benevolence and love. It wants to express itself its benevolence and love authentically and creatively while in a physical body to learn and evolve.
