Who We Are As Souls

We are all beautiful souls made in the image of God, full of inherent value, dignity and worth. Yet, we may struggle to accept this truth because our attention is often diverted to focus solely on outward appearances and behaviors. In other words, we all live with some degree of ignorance of our soul consciousness. We may get glimpses of it, but never attain the full extent, because physical, emotional and psychological issues cloud our vision of who we truly are. 

Listening To Our Ancestors

The greatest effect hearing the cries of our ancestors has on us not only comes from getting in touch with our own soul’s voice, but also it awakens us to hear the cries of those who have no voice today. There has always existed in society a pattern of disenfranchising the weak and wounded; people who have been labeled as unloveable, untouchable and therefore, unreachable. For some, disenfranchisement was due to their disease or illness. For others it was due to their poverty. Still, for others it was due to their gender, race, religion, politics, or social class. Many in society preferred such people not to be seen, let alone heard from. However, just as the cries of our ancestors, and those who have been the victims of crimes against humanity, can never be silenced, so too are the cries of the disenfranchised heared above the din of everyday life. Their cries are not only heard deep with the soul, but also their pain is given a voice through those who speak for them.
