Give Thanks Part 3 11-18-07

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

What is the soul

Where do we usually live

Noise/busy is the enemy of the soul

We cant expect to live in the world of souls or grow in the world of the spirit when we are so worried about things that don’t matter

You are not your job, your car, your home. You are a soul created by god. Your eternity will not be marked by your profession or your social status.

This image of self is a distraction from the real you, your soul.

There is a God-part within each person, which is the soul. It's magnificent; it's divine; it's perfect; it's aware. And the soul's natural state is joyful and loving and pure. When you experience joy and love, you are experiencing your true self, your soul

Many people have said that a human being has a soul - but it is closer to the reality to say that the soul has a human being body which it is temporarily housed in. The soul, being Spirit, is more enduring than the human consciousness.

The soul is the breath of life, the very essence which makes things alive. The soul give life and removes itself at the body's death; without the soul there is no life. The soul is life itself and animates all living organisms.

Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

For I will not contend for ever, nor will I always be angry; for from me proceeds the spirit, and I have made the breath of life.
Isaiah 57:16

And as her soul was departing (for she died), she called his name Benoni; but his father called his name Benjamin.
Genesis 35:18

(Elijah) cried to the LORD, 'O LORD my God, let this child's soul come into him again.' And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1 Kings 17:21-22
My soul doth magnify the lord

And do not be afraid of the one killing the body, not being able to kill the soul.
Matthew 10:28

Put a candle out on a chair, dress it up……………..

So what, so what is the difference.
How will I think differently?

Salvation is no longer something that is pie in the sky in the sweet by and bye
I am aware of the eternal nature o fmy core being and of its partnership with God

I see you totally differently.
I relax with those who are unhappy, they are doing what they know.
They have created a system of rules that makes sense in the world of egos…selfs
I see in you the image of God
I am more aware, more awake, more alive than I have ever been……

1. who are you? A soul.

2. therefore, I am not the following: tall shor fat thn, mu fan, ku fan

3. what doe sthat mean?

And man became a living soul

What if your life is a journey- a discovery of the soul

The ego, the fake self, the earthly man

Is how we interface with the world because it s all we know. The worry abou the earthly man causes us to rush around and try to fix or repair

Use every scripture on the soul

What matters:
Every person, every encounter

What doesn’t matter:
Church doctrinal fights, what kind of car you drive

Man I have dressed up this soul pretty well…..maybe too well.

Paul dodds story….we were brothers in heaven

Music and the soul
