Soul living means to live each moment of the daily life with a keen awareness of the eternal part of our Being the Soul. This requires an effort and a discipline on our part to embrace the Truth of our Being at all times and in all circumstances. Yet this kind of work involves, not a discipline of restriction, but a discipline of expansion.
We know by natural law that where we place our attention and awareness, there will our life energy flow. Following this principle, the fundamental practices for Soul Living focus solely upon building new tendencies and habits into our lives. It is a truly creative endeavor.
These fundamentals can be grouped into four kinds of disciplines according to the four sides of our being: for the physical body, for the feeling nature, for the mind and for the soul level.
Fundamentals for the Physical Body
They are described as THE DISCIPLINE OF VITALITY AND MAGNETISM.
Their goal is a healthy, vital and sound physical body that can withstand the impact and the flow of the higher energies coming from the planes of Soul and Spirit. This includes, mainly, a responsive and sensitive brain that can tune in to and receive the intentions of the Soul, the Ideas of the Universal Mind and the Light of Spirit.
Fundamentals for the Desire and Feeling Nature
They are described as THE DISCIPLINE OF HARMONY.
Their goal is a calm and peaceful emotional, feeling nature that can allow the Love of the Soul to be perfectly expressed to the whole world in all kinds of circumstances. This is the state of Being described as the Peace that passes understanding.
Fundamentals for the Mind
They are described as THE DISCIPLINE OF UNIVERSALITY.
Their goal is to develop a truly open mind that is free from all creeds, doctrines and philosophies of any kind. In other words, their goal is a developed mind which is beyond all kinds of attitudes, opinions and concepts that separate one human being from another and oneself from all other expressions of Life.
Fundamentals for the Soul Level
They are described as THE DISCIPLINE OF UNION.
Their goal is to be the Divine Self in manifestation upon the physical plane. This means to integrate the energies and potencies of our Soul into the personality life so that we may express the qualities and faculties of our Divine Self at every moment and at every level.
