Mind and Soul
by Susan-Ananda Kramer
Are mind and soul one and the same?
My mind can think, create, plan.
I experience my soul as my feeling or emotional mind.
Looking at the attributes of soul and mind this way I
think they are part of the Great Mind that created us.
I don’t experience this all the time, but when I do,
it is a state of uplifted consciousness. For example, when sitting in the
library, looking east out the window, basking in the morning sun, I notice
bodily feeling slipping away in my stillness, and my reality becoming elevated
in peace and joy.
While living on earth we have a body and mind to use
in regaining awareness of the everlasting reality, our infinite home.
My mind is always aware of what my bodily state is.
Even when asleep, I’m aware I’m asleep.
Waking, my body follows the direction, the instructions
of my mind. This leads me to realize my mind is controller of my body and motivates
bodily action.
Because my mind expands in meditation, but my body
does not, I think my mind extends infinitely, not restricted within the bounds of a physical form.
As I progress in deep and loving meditation, my mind
expands in greater awareness of the Great Mind.
My goal is to merge my individual mind with the Great
Mind in infinite love for all.
Happily
ever aware.
