Providential Guideposts ... p. 12



       REAWAKENING    OF   THE   SOUL
That we are known by our words and deeds is an oft-quoted truism: one not to be taken lightly. Our morals, our principles and our philosophy of life are all rooted in truth and right conduct. These principles shape our character and determine who we are.

Character traits are not alone determined by a process of the mind exercising reason and will. There is another element, that of our own spirituality which greatly influences our state of consciousness. Spirituality, we know to be an effusion of the soul, the final determinant of who we are.

A reawakening of the soul, which for too long has been veiled by mankind’s unhealthy obsession with materialism, is fundamental to our well-being. Such reawakening, which in turn begets fellowship with God, can only be made possible through purposeful meditation/reflection—love for oneself and others its enduring tenet.
