This book is the experience of integrating the life of the human
with the life of the soul and unveiling the one as the other, and the
other as the One. Each of us is an awesome and profound
Divine mystery. An amazing miracle story of the life of a soul. Yet,
our stories remain hidden behind the guise of human littleness until
the superhuman act of self discipline reveals the superhuman soul
beneath.
A good life story is the soul's life story and it begins with
self discipline. Where there is no self discipline there is no
personal story worth telling. Who wants to hear one more sad story of
ceaseless human struggle?
Self discipline is really soul discipline because it is the
gradually unfolding act of Self-revelation. It is the conscious
exchange of what is for what could be. A willing release of what never
was and a grateful embrace of what always will be.
Self discipline is the self-forgetting act of loving the mundane
human life into a state of soul consciousness. It is the steady and
poised polishing, grooming and civilizing the lower human nature until
the luster of the soul beneath begins shining through.
With the soul so liberated to the surface of existence, the
amazing miracle story of the life of a soul may begin. The human and
the soul, now united as the human soul, may begin her joyful journey
ever upward, homeward, Godward.
Soul discipline is not the work of the fist clenching, teeth
gnashing human trying to improve his life. Soul discipline is the
magic sculptor at work in the act of revealing the dazzling diamond
life hidden beneath a common piece of rock. |
