The Long Journey of the Soul – A Coat of Many Colours

We walk alone on our journey to the light. In physical form we rest anew, a chance to lose the thunder in our hearts. Watch and learn as children play. They know true well that joyous laughter and fun to share is the purpose of their existence. As life becomes wearying and burdens set to rest, be assured that the choice is yours to follow the light, the path of hope, or surrender to blackness, pain and despair. We all have ‘free will’ to choose our path. In knowing haste we come to learn that greed and hate are the enemies of the light, they lead the way to darkness and despair.

For what price the burden on your soul? What price Jesus Christ to come again to bear the burdens of mankind? You see, there is no price, no cost to pay, for love and virtue are the currency of the soul. The sins of mankind are a burden to be borne. The soul is made of love, pure and simple, in woven threads like silk and gossamer, a lightness and purity all dazzling in extreme. We are parted from our souls. This is rarely known, for it is ‘spirit’ of which you often speak and interchange with ‘soul’ – misleading and erroneous. Our souls are not to own but to earn! Oh yes, this is the way of the truth. In all good deeds and blessed lives we purify our souls and get closer to the light.

Our souls contain many burdens, like holes of blackness, smudges of pain. We work to cleanse our souls and earn their release from the dungeons of despair. We are in debt to our souls, can’t you see? We have to earn them in eternity. We must strive to love, to forgive and be joyous, to do good deeds, think pure thoughts and help our fellow human beings. Over many lifetimes the scorecard is balanced. There is no cheating, no sleight of hand. All is known by God the Father, Creator of all, and we will judge ourselves.

So what is the shape of your soul? Mankind is more concerned with the size of their wallet, the make of their car, the colour of their money. What shape is your soul? Can you imagine this? Is it glowing and pure, radiant and light, or is it a haggard mess of fraying threads of bitterness, held together by worn threads of golden light of leftover love and mismatched loyalties, stained by murderous hate and racist bigotry? Try to imagine the state of your soul. Would you willingly wear it to dinner? Would you be comfortable to have it on show – many a lifetime’s collection of deeds and thoughts, with each ragged hole representing a major transgression for which karmic debt has accrued? Or is it a coat of many colours, full of joy and love, forgiveness and light, a multifaceted rainbow of good deeds, loving thoughts and caring concern for all?

You are the seamstress of your soul’s destiny, try it on for size. Are you happy? There are no returns, no exchanges, no refunds, for you have had your soul on layby for eternity and the fashion will never change. Jesus Christ our Saviour will come again to wear our burdens well. He’ll cleanse our souls with his selfless acts and carry our burdens once more. Mankind’s souls in the cloakroom of Heaven can then return once more to the stage of life to carry us to our home, our home with our Heavenly Father. Oh joyous act of love to share, to carry our burdens and cleanse our souls! Does this dissolve us of our responsibilities? Think not, for sure as our soul reflects our heart we will again be tempted by greed and plunder, hate and sorrow, curses of the land of ‘morrow.

Pay no heed to those who seek to founder your intentions. They know no other light but their own ego star, beckoning as a lighthouse in the waters of time, where many will be dashed against the Rocks of Plenty.

We must resist and lead the way. Our souls are precious, eternal life. Our hopes, our dreams, our sweat, our tears and our agonies all reside t
