Accessing The Wisdom Of The Soul

Imago1122 No same voice but using images of tech. and the lifeless which is so void of the living earth it'self. Thank you Imago 1122 for your input and response. It is good to know how work is read and interpeted. It is terrific that you are also posting your work, fun-:). Rolf

Thank you Doc for your kind words... While I marvel at the geniuses that have given us our incredible technology, an iPhone hasn't moved me yet like the frozen sunsets of Churchill or that moment when people cross deserts and realize that it too is passing through them, trying to keep itself whole for cactus and scorpions and whatever else needs it to survive...

Chuckling at your "digital or analog" signature..... I guess if an app could serve as a "cosmic 2 x 4", metaphorically speaking of course, that would be a good thing. The problem is, we are the ones who need to use the app. We need to buy it and apply it. And it seems to me that when we are most in need of that "rude awakening" that only the soul can provide, or in this case, an app could apply, we are also the most resistant to reaching out, the most removed from availability to a gentle tap on the shoulder. Obviously, this subject has stirred up a LOT in us. We're like the people standing on the shores, watching Columbus sail off into the unknown, convinced he would fall off the edge of the earth. I'm amused by my own skepticism in this matter. But let's keep exploring this topic. I think there's gold here....... Beyond digital, Judith

MOTH Unable to sleep anymore beside memories who lay hipless and silent, tubes tied, even as a lawnmower grazed over them in mid-afternoon, I rise late into the evening still faded like leftovers from last Christmas in August, a willowy yellowy thing crawling from the bottom of my throat and sticky with the need to confess the sea of millions and billions. In the gloom, I switch on minor machines and a moth begins to flicker before the night-white face of a computer it doesn’t understand and I think, Let it go, my soul, save it from windowless hopes, from God falling out of the sky; give it back to the winds of dreams because it was never really yours. --FXA

Hmm. Interesting. Is the soul "our internal GPS," or does it need a guidance system that's outside of itself? Even though I'm not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet on the benefits of technology's seeming invasion of our spiritual aspects, somehow I'm leaning toward the importance of preserving or making sacred space between "us" and the "machines." There's a reason we seek out the cathedrals of nature----deserts, the ocean voyages, the mountains, the cavernous silences of monasteries hewed from simpler times---when the soul's dark nights begin. While technology has improved our physical spheres, conferred us with longer lives and increased affluence, taken us to the moon and brought us together from many points on the planet, it has also served to fracture society as we know it, paradoxically driving us even farther apart than we were before. While people are on Facebook, the flesh and blood relationships around them are dying. But still food for thought, and an article packed full of insight. "The soul is about deepening." "Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body" (and hence why the soul is "the conduit to our true nature"). Thanks Doc! p.s: thanks again for your response to me a few weeks ago. You have no idea the impact your words made on me who was asking the pertinent question at that point in time. The true me is the person who is noticing that I'm changing.

Yes, it is just about the same thing, I didn't intend to sound refuting or I would have said it having enough space to say I was. In the English language there are several ways to say most things, I approved of how you said it, if gave me another way of saying it. Until our transition, metamorphosis or "new birth" we are *Crossing the Spiritual Desert* and after it we begin putting it together or as you call it, *Accessing the Wisdom*. The only disagreement is calling the lifeforce the soul and why I end it with it.
