This journey to realization and integration of Your Soul
is somewhat like going to an unknown land.

Introduction:
April 2007
There are eight places that you can come to know, or know better. You travel from one place to another; learning from each place and finding relationships between them all. Eventually places will become well known and the paths between them will be well trodden. One place often reminds you of another place, and you begin to see how this is all indeed "one land." The good news is that there is never an end to the exploring your soul in Our Beloved.
Some of these places may be familiar. Certainly rest is something most of us know, but never get enough of. Creating is also something that we love to get to, whether it is wood working, dance, sculpting, scrap booking, etc. But typically, it is a place that all too often we have to look at from afar. Some people have learned what the old saying " It is better to give (serve) than to receive" means. This great gift can be received in activities such as tending gardens (which can also become very creative), helping another with our skills, even providing birds with food and nesting boxes. Most of us have experienced the satisfaction of serving another life in some small way. Perhaps in giving a special present to someone or doing a chore for someone sick.
You may find other parts of this "land" are somewhat familiar also. Whatever the familiarity, please begin with the first section if you are new to this website. Terms are defined and vocabulary introduced that you will find helpful. Also, each section represents a "step." If you try to just "jump in" you may quickly, and unfortunately, "lose your balance" and undermine your journey. Click on each part underlined for more information. It is highly recommended you keep a journal of some sort, recording something from each time you travel to one of these places . it will also allow you to note what section you have just read.
A way to look at the eight parts to soul realization and integration is as a land that is all yours for you to explore. You can even make up your own map, placing these eight parts in various ways.
