We are not humans with a soul

Posted on by philipdodson

We are not humans with a soul.

We are a soul having a human experience.

If we see life as that, an experience, then everything is new, different, exciting, an opportunity, learning, growth. Good or bad is only so because the mind makes it so.

When we are children we run around care-free, with wonder, soaking up each new experience, we are conscious and awake. Then comes the conditioning, the mind develops an ego, the thought patterns start and grow. Soon we become unconscious in thought. Life is no longer an experience of wonder.

If we live in the moment, then we can wonder at life, our soul can shine its light through the physical carnation it is currently in without attachment, total freedom.

‘normal’ life

When we enter the mind and our thoughts, then our awareness of the world around us and our own self disappears. We are in a trance.

We do not notice anything other than our thoughts, even though we might be driving a car, eating food, walking in a beautiful place, working, in a meeting, or whatever else we are doing. Even the sounds, smells, noises and so on fade away and our entire ‘reality’ becomes our thoughts. People speak, but. we do not hear them, only through the filter of our mind. Our thoughts are still the dominant focus.

So actually we miss the thing we are doing and instead our focus is on the thought and the train of thoughts that drag us along, further away from awareness and consciousness.

This can last a few seconds, a few minutes or a lot longer. In fact, intermittently, it could last an entire lifetime. If we were offered at the beginning of our life to just spend it in our heads, in our thoughts, most of which repeat, again and again, we would all decline it.

Yet, this life of thought is what is seen as ‘normal’ life.
