Eternity... is it on Your list of needs?

"Something deep in the human make-up needs and longs for a taste of eternity--at least a momentary release from the relentless pace of time. We don't usually place eternity in our list of needs, but the soul is only half satisfied with the things of this world.”  From Thomas Moore THE SOUL OF SEX.

This longing for eternity as he calls it is why there is religion in the world.  This longing is essentially our search for God.  We aren’t left here in the physical without something that calls to us urging us to find out who we are and where our eternal home is.   But this longing is also the why people turn to addictive behavior whether it be alcohol, sex, drugs or even fundamentalism.  Making the best use of this longing requires choice and intent.   It means making a decision to want to know the truth.  The truth that will set you free.  Also there can be many truths depending on who you are and your level of understanding.  The soul longs for that from whence it came. 

Dreams of Heaven...

In the movie, What Dreams May Come, heaven is shown as a bright, over saturated technicolor landscape of meadows, lush grass, beautiful flowers and green trees.  Our oh so inadequate languages have developed words for heaven; Eden, paradise, nirvana, more.  But no word can come close to the ultimate reality.  But we might ask, if the spirit world is so great what are we all doing here?  Believe or not we choose this sojourn on earth.  We forget when we come here, forget who we really are and where we came from.  But we are not lost.  Built in to humans and our cultures is the longing and the drive to remember who we are, that we are a spirit having an earthly experience.   We are also aware that no one is imprisoned on earth.  Sooner or later we all go back to where we came from.   We still make the choice to come here and have the experiences we have. 
We can make our lives better by paying attention to those longings to remember our spiritual home.  We just have to start letting go of the notion that this body and this life is all there is.   All we need is the intention to find out more and the willingness to let go. 

Encore.... Have You Ever Felt a Longing?...

The Soul longs for growth.  It yearns to grow, to learn, and to find its way back to the perfection from whence it came.   If you feel a chronic dissatisfaction with your life.  If you feel there has to be more...
It is probably the promptings of your soul.  But, you ask, what do I do?  The answer quite simply is to listen to those promptings.
In a quiet moment speak to your soul.  Ask it to communicate to you what it wants and what it wants you to do about it.  And in whatever way you choose, prayer, meditation, spending time alone, possibly in nature, put out to the universe that you want assistance and to show you a next step, what to do. 
You have done all of that, now start paying attention.    Start watching for synchronicities.   The veils between the worlds are thinning.  I think you will be surprised at what starts to happen.

The Longing for Home...

It has been said that the motivation for all human endeavor is the soul’s search for home.  When we are born we forget what life was like in Spirit but our soul remembers enough to create a longing for what we have lost,  what we once had in Spirit.  It is this longing that is the underlying motivation for the human search for God, happiness, money, love.  There is such a longing for our Spirit home that many of us are willing to believe anything that claims to provide us with a fulfillment of that longing.   It accounts for overachievers, fundamentalists and yes the creation of saints and mystics. 
Now if  we understand this and take into account that there is this underlying motivation we can use to become creators of heaven on earth.  One more way to work toward Peace on Earth and healing the earth and it’s inhabitants.
