Inner Conflict

Inner Conflict


Soul is not some disembodied entity-it is part of me, part of my struggle. When I bring deep conflicts housed in my unconscious to a conscious level, I am making more of soul conscious as well. Every aspect of life or thought has soul present within it. Conflict that is locked in a frozen state in my deeper mind locks soul along with it. To free my mind also frees soul and life energy. Soul is a mighty phenomenon, as big as all creation. I need to expand my mind to be able
to contain it or be with it.
I study inner conflicts to expand my soul.
To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner
dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.
