Soul - between restriction and expansion

05/12/2010

The soul has a need for space; in the vastness of space it is able to breathe, to expand and rejoice. If you restrict the soul, it is stifled, and it withers and languishes. And that is what happens to human beings who allow themselves to become absorbed by all the material details of daily life without taking any time to dive into the vastness of space. For the soul suffers from having had to accept the restrictions of a body. A child that is born is a soul restricting itself, and this restriction is essential in order to allow manifestation. But at the time of death, the soul returns to the vastness of space. Life is made up of these two processes, restriction and expansion, and to lead a balanced life you must know how to apply them to your existence: you enter your innermost being to connect to the universe, to the universal Soul; then you come back into a restricted state to work. But don't stay restricted for too long, or you will get bored and suffer. Remember to open yourself up to the vastness of space.
