Knowledge of the soul

"Knowledge of the soul is the only universal truth and the only wisdom- all other knowledge is transient."  -- Plato

The most important knowledge that we have is the knowledge of our soul, our innermost part of us.  Acquiring this knowledge can take years because we tend to hide our flaws and shortcomings from ourselves and others.  We do not face our faults.  We do not delve deeply within that part of us that makes us unique.

We spend so much time lying to ourselves that who we really are eludes us.  We can not know our souls because we put a barrier there between real life and our innermost self.

What we really need to do is examine our feelings and how we really feel about our actions and our thoughts and our deeds.  Do we have a clear concept of right and wrong that we feel we can live with in our lives?

The soul is the conscience and is our pre- programmed guide to daily living.

What is it that you think, say or do that makes you feel whole and at peace with yourself?  What is it that you think, say or do that makes you feel a sense of discord about yourself?

Your soul is guiding you in the direction that you need to go to feel peace and harmony.  Learn how to choose the right pathway or wisdom and all the other knowledge will combine with what you feel you should be doing.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Know what makes you feel comfortable and do it.  Everything else will fall into place for you.
