What’s my soul’s purpose now? It has to involve expression, I know that much. My spirit is insisting that I start taking steps. She doesn’t let up, like a hum that is always present. My body feels ill-equipped and near unwilling; yet my soul stirs. Perhaps those opposites are what creates the stirring? Perhaps that is the point? What creates the force for action? Is it created or always there? Is that the battle on this plane in this body; to embrace expression? To move toward it?I have gone headstrong and insisted on higher thinking for years, I have felt bogged in the mire of this life. If both always exist perhaps the goal is to figure out how to balance them both. I recently learned that according to Rudolph Steiner, that which we do not transcend of the human condition and learn the spiritual (higher) lesson, we cannot take with us when we leave this body; it won’t go and therefore we’ll have to repeat it again and again until we learn to ascend it. Is that the path, to transcend our conditions? joyscouts feels like my path. My soul knows it is being called to transcend my condition and take what I HAVE learned and share it with others. I don’t feel ready in the sense that I know what to publish, but the more steps that I take in this direction the more the path seems to appear. Hence the compass [in the logo]. I guess we only need to start expressing, that will lead to the start of the path, the trailhead, and as we hike (or trudge) along, the path unfolds. Noteably, as I am working on it, the yuck of the mire that I otherwise feel, fades away.
