A. Just as the body is already in the
soul and the soul in the body, so, too, God is already in the
soul, and the soul in God.
B. God is always present to the soul,
giving it life, loving it, attempting to lead it to become what
God has created it to be.
C. Attachments and addictions create
disturbances in the soul which prevent one from knowing God's
presence and responding to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.
D. Nevertheless, even in this state of
disturbance, one can begin to relate to God in whatever way is
most meaningful. Jesus Christ is God's invitation to a return to
full union.
E. By loving God and others while
dropping attachments and addictions, the false self will be put to
death and the True Self born. This is a painful process--a cross
which heals the soul.
F. Through the dark nights of
transformation, the soul is drawn into deeper and deeper realms of
silence which transcend thought and feeling. Here, God's presence
is known intuitively, and the soul
becomes increasingly free to follow the
leadings of the Spirit without being disturbed by attachments,
addictions, and other worldly influences.
G. Thus it is that the soul is
divinized, or made able to know God as Christ knows God. This is
the fruit of the spiritual journey, and the reason for which we
were created. Home
