Reaching For The Light ... p. 47

THE TRUTH OF OUR BEING

The ever-present veil that conceals the Truth of our Being, that keeps us from knowing ourself, is of our own making; a man-made desecration of the soul. It has its genesis in our failure to acknowledge our two separate though interdependent beings: a) the divinely immortal soul and b) the physical body.

Throughout life, with little or no thought otherwise, we allow custom to install in us aught but the ways of the world, of itself destructive of our inborn harmony. Meanwhile, the life-giving soul finds itself gravely undernourished. Left unattended, we come to know a life all too often troubled with chaos and sorrow.

Were we but to listen, we would hear God’s “… still small voice …” warning us of the disquiet within. Once having heard, we are at once overcome with a deeper sense of calm, certain of God’s overwhelming presence. We know then that all is well. — Garry D. Kilbourn
