Eroded Spirit… Displaced

(Author Narration with musical accompaniment: Day of Innocence by Izz from their 2009 album The Darkened Room)

In this moment, I recognize Spirit as the internal source of all creative expression moving through me, from the inside out. The movement of Spirit through and within me follows the path of Life through and within my biology, this human body. I recognize Spirit as animated and spontaneous, creative and unflinching, and a reliable witness to my every word spoken, every deed done, every thought considered and every feeling felt. My Spirit knows itself as Life unfettered, unprogrammed by external investments in countless soul journeys.

I Now see that programming belongs to the lessons of the soul– what I’ve learned and believed cumulatively throughout countless lifetimes. The soul’s active programs are written– encoded– within the very cells of this biology; my body is the hard-drive. I can feel where my soul’s programming is incompatible with my Spirit’s true expression as pain, discomfort, unease or disease within my body’s internal reality. The habits of my Will, thus far, have often led me to identify with the teachings and beliefs endemic to my soul. However, in this moment, I Now choose my Spirit’s right to express creatively, from within, a Life free from erroneous and self-deprecating or otherwise spiritually-irrelevant programs.

As Spirit is the perfect witness to all that I AM in this moment, I recognize my Spirit’s ability to bring resolute balance to all the places within me where the programming of my soul–written within the cells of my body– is incompatible (out of balance) with Life– Life, as Spirit would otherwise express unhindered. The action of my Spirit, as I invite it in and call it forth, renders the countless memories of my soul relevant to my Life– and All Life. Spirit distills the epic journey down to Life’s terms: bio-regenesis for/of the soul. My soul has had all these external experiences… but what do they mean to me, to my Life, to my internal experience right Now? I Will allow Spirit to answer.

So… Hello Spirit, please show me how to best honour, nurture and express unhindered this Life moving through me… untrammeled by the seemingly endless conditioning of my soul…

Thank you.
