What's Our Soul?

What's our Soul? That's a big question that many spiritual teachers and mystics have endlessly written about. When I decided to create Soul Driven Living, I knew I had to find a simple, clear definition. Books and books have been written about our souls, so distilling all that is an ongoing task. And, then, sharing my thoughts is another.

I was delighted to find that Webster's dictionary was a help. It clearly supports the spiritual essence:

Soul

  • the immaterial essence, animating principle or actuating cause of an individual life
  • the spiritual principle embodied in human beings
  • a person's total self


Those are the first three definitions. What a great start!


So, for today, I'll leave you with this question:


Would there be anything better than to have a life driven by the animating principle or actuating cause of life, living through the spiritual principle embodied in us, and, being whole and complete?


That would be Soul-Driven Living, wouldn't it?


Stay tuned. There's more...much more.


Many blessings,
Rhoberta
