Whose at the Helm?

I was reading a passage in a book by Deepak Chopra called, Reinventing the Body; Resurrecting the Soul, when I was compelled to create a blog ... for myself mainly ... to track my thoughts about my body and my life, and how my spirit is willing all aspects of both. Then I remembered ... I had a blog! When I found it I was delighted by the name I had given it, so I am now resurrecting the blog. Now, to it!

The passage in the book said: "Ninety percent of people believe they have a soul, and that it gives their lives ultimate meaning." And then a few lines later it said: "If you look into the wisdom traditions of every culture, you find that the soul has other meanings. It is the source of life, the spark that animates dead matter. It creates the mind and emotions. In other words, the soul is the very foundation of experience. It serves as the channel for creation as it unfolds in every second." And it hit me clearer than ever before ... my soul is leading this parade I call my life, and as the leader it calls the shots, so why not surrender the body part of my life to what the soul has in mind and stop trying so hard to control everything in that regard.

The soul will know exactly what to do ... what exercises will delight me and work on what needs working on, what foods will be optimal, etc ... and if I can line up with that (think Law of Attraction), I'll be in great shape (both literally and figuratively) sooner than I can imagine! If the soul gives ultimate meaning, it is striving for ultimate meaning and will, in its natural state of striving, like water, find the most obvious course to take to reach its objective.

I like this idea that has meandered across my mind! Yes! That is what I'll do!

Okay, Soul, time for you to take the helm.

Here we go! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
