The Location And The Form Of The Soul (Part 2)
Whenever I say: I feel something within me, pointing to the heart, obviously it's
not something within the chest. The physical heart is just an incredibly sophisticated
pump for blood. It can even be transplanted – it does not create feelings! Within
the real me, the living and thinking being, the soul (situated inside the brain),
there is a centre of emotions, moods and feelings. The sensations that I very obviously
feel around the body are due to the total connection that exists between the soul
and the body in which it resides. For example, when I am afraid of, say, a dog attacking
me, the whole system is activated. From the control centre in the middle of the
brain, the soul sends messages out all around the body. Adrenalin is secreted to
give extra strength to the muscles (so that one can run). The heart starts to pump
faster, the breathing becomes shallower and the palms begin to sweat. While it may
seem that all the different organs have their own sensing and feeling systems, the
whole operation is so split-second fast that the coordination of sensations and
responses by the soul from its own special cockpit in the centre of the brain passes
unnoticed – it so seems that the body is creating the sensations and responses,
but they are actually coordinated and controlled by the soul. In this way, if I
feel something in my heart for or from something or someone, it's really being processed
by me, the thinking being, the soul and then reflected in my heart.

Message for the day 14-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The best way to change others is to remain peaceful.
Expression: When there is behaviour seen which is not to my liking or approval,
there is a tendency to get upset and worked up about it. So immediately, this is
brought into words and actions also. Getting agitated or excited doesn't however
solve the problem. When there is the ability to remain peaceful, the right solution
is found and there is the right response to the problem at hand.
Experience: When I am able to maintain my inner peace under all circumstances
and with all people, I am able to use the power of my thoughts to bring about a
change in the mind of others too. I find myself discovering the power of my inner
potential and am able to use it for my own benefit and that of others.
