A Natural Movement
A Natural Movement
Spiritual practices help us move from identifying with the ego to
identifying with the soul. Old age does that for you too. It spiritualizes
people naturally.
Thich Nhat Hanh: Answers From the Heart
How would you define the
soul? I would put it this way: it is the awareness of being aware.
I live in that awareness
when I drop the ego for a while and remain in the present moment, feeling my
breath and my aliveness. When I am aware of what is happening inside and around
me, without defining it with my mind, that’s when I’m in touch with my soul. That
is also when I am most alive.
These insights have come
through meditation, reading “spiritual” books – and age. It comes quite
naturally now to drop the cravings and strivings of the ego and remain in a
state of simply being aware. It is like a natural movement towards that place
of pure awareness - which we might call our soul - where we are at one with
life itself.
