If we are going to play the game of life, we need to know what the rules are.

Please join me in learning life principles.

Reasons for the Soul’s Departure

Trauma

Have you ever heard the term, "Someone was beside themselves?" like when a traumatic event happened or something that was emotionally challenging to face or go through? That is what it is like when the soul leaves the body. It is a temporary coping mechanism to a challenging event. However, if the soul does not process the feelings of the event and re-integrate, then they need someone to intervene and help them do that. Otherwise, the emotions will be trapped in the body and turn into illness.

Other ways that a soul may leave the body or become fragmented or depleted in energy is from any form of abuse. For example, if a child has a hostile caretaker, the child will try to escape back into the spirit world where they feel safe. This child will get spacey at times. They will daydream frequently or "check out" and live in their own world of safety.

If someone is in an accident, they may leave their body. The trauma is too great to deal with, so they leave.
War or violence can also make the soul leave. Any time we feel overwhelmed with an emotion from trauma and we are not able to process the feelings, we may check out of our bodies.

We, as a society, have developed dysfunctional ways of being and relating to one another. Sometimes we are not allowed to have feelings or express ourselves. Other times, we fear offending or hurting someone, or we have to follow the rules of polite society. Sometimes, we are manipulated by loved ones to "stuff it" because they want things their own way because they need to feel in control.

When emotions are not felt in our bodies or allowed expression for fear of ridicule, humiliation, wrath, or hurting someone, they can turn into physical illness. Some of the illnesses are things like asthma, urinary urgency or frequency, high blood pressure, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome.

What do you think about this? Are there other examples you can think of that might apply to the soul fragmenting or leaving the body?

Ego Defence

If I am able to express authentically, from my soul, I am kinder to myself and others. If I feel like I need to protect or defend myself, I have created ego defenses. An ego defense would be something like, come here, go away. Or, it could be like wearing armor and having to fight others because I am afraid, mostly of ...being hurt. More to come . . .

Heaven in my little world

That is my goal . . . to create heaven on earth. At least in my little world.

Heaven on Earth

What greater plan can there be but to bring a realization of heaven within us and on earth and to have the soul express with increasing perfection through our human personalities? In this manner the material world becomes spiritualized and proclaims the Kingdom of God as a reality in the hearts and minds of humanity. Rosicrucian's

Relationships

People grow through time. In relationships, we either grow together or grow apart. When we enter a relationship, we do so for different reasons. At an early age, it could be to fulfill a nesting need. At an older
age, it could fulfill a need for companionship. How are we to grow together over time in a way that is fulfilling to both people?
