Wholeness Part 6
The two things that once gave us that sense of wholeness when we were young children, our external holding environment and our natural connection to the soul, seem difficult to recover in adult life.
Unless…
Unless we begin to consciously increase our awareness of them.
Yes, we can cultivate a new kind of holding environment, not one dependent on perfect circumstances or the ego’s making, but one rooted in a spiritual way of seeing. A way of perceiving life as ultimately meaningful, benevolent, and purposeful, even when it is difficult. Some have called this way of living “the Kingdom of God.” It is not something we build from scratch, but something we learn to see, to trust, and to enter. At the same time, we can return to living from the qualities of the soul. These qualities have never left us. They are still within us, just waiting to be remembered and expressed.
As the faithful, our current holding environment is the Kingdom of God. As our container, it is not predictable in all ways … perhaps in only one way is it always eventually constant … in its overall benevolence and in the fact that we are never left alone. This is not always a feeling of safety, but of being carried by loving hands, through all that may not feel safe. It is not a feeling that everything is wonderful, but a feeling that eventually we will see the goodness and mercy in all things… even those that appear to be their opposites.
Returning to our soul qualities, we are no longer children, but that fact doesn’t prevent us from expressing our pure nature. We have an extra advantage this time … we carry with us the wisdom gained through the decades when the ego leads us… the lessons of failure, struggle, limitation, and even our mistakes. What once felt like obstacles and even failures are now part of our understanding, our compassion, our strength, our wholeness. This wisdom became part of our soul. This is where true wholeness deepens. It is not a return to childhood simplicity. It is a union between the soul’s original goodness and the wisdom gained through the ego’s life experience.
In this union, the ego no longer needs to pretend or protect at all costs. It takes its rightful place, not as the master of our lives, but as a servant of the soul. And in that alignment, something settles within us. We are no longer striving to become whole. We realize steadily that we have been whole all along.
Spiritual practice: Look for your innocence. Pray to sense your soul and its many other qualities. Feel the oneness with your spirit. Speak with a trusted person about what you experience in terms of wholeness.
Self-inquiry: What do you remember about your first bliss?
Prayer:
For the bliss of your Kingdom, I pray, Oh God. Amen
