Slice of Thoughts

With my understanding as a believer, I believe that human has body, soul, and spirit, and that each of them has specific needs to be fulfilled. Dr. Clarence Larkin grouped them into three circles; body as our vessel in the material world and works through our senses, soul is a part where we can work our psychological functions, such as imaginations, conscience, memory. Spirit is the deepest part of us that work through faith in the spiritual realm. Well, I will share later about body and spirit. But let first talk about our soul.

The main problem about listen to our soul is that most of the times we are too busy to go in-depth with our own soul. We are too busy take care all the outside sources of our life. Our family, job, children, boss, parents, our foods, clothes, etc. The list can goes on for more hundred words and in the end you will find reasons to ignore this subject.

Why is it necessary that we have to listen to our soul first? Because we are living creature! we are human and every little thing about us is valuable. Each of us has our own unique way of think, feel, express, love, and we need to be listened because each of us is special. . Why should we seek people’s appreciations externally, before we can appreciate the voice of our soul? I don’t say that other people’s opinions useless, but we should know where we stand on our ground first to start make a positive and harmonious changes.

Let’s say our journey of life is a big map, you know you want to go to a place called “success”, or may be “happiness” or can be something else, a place or thing where the unique treasures – according to your values – are waiting for you to be revealed. Your soul is your first simple GPS to know where you should start, who to ask, what tools you will use to go to our destination. It will make everything easier to understand, and also we can choose methods which go along with the real inner us.

Will give an example, which based on my own experience. I used to think that i am weird because I am not a good speaker, I tend to feel that I am a boring person since I don’t do small talk, feel awkward when meet new peoples, I do not watch TV shows, movies, serials or update any new musics, absolutely not a cool kids of the society. What I know is work, work and work, since I have to make a living for my family (will share about this in another writing). However, that was when I compared my inner self with another peoples. Then, I started to dig more to the inside. Started to listen to my soul and reminisced all the experiences, memories, feeling, dreams I have ever had before. Booommm! Now I know where I stand in my map. One year after that, I consciously and subconsciously met peoples, prepared, read, listen and do things which I enjoy, but also bring me further to the short-term goals! (I still can’t believe this sometimes, but research shows that 95 per cent of real us take decisions in our subconscious mind).

I believe listening itself is a skill, and I am sure that listening is one of the greatest and powerful built-in skill of our human body, yet been forgotten most of the times in our life. Why? because there is a tendency in the modern world that speaking louder about who you are is more important than to listen. We know it is gonna be so cliche when we hear term like “we have 2 ears to listen and only 1 mouth to speak.”, but personally, I think this statement is also on purpose.

Hope you enjoy my personal thought and sharing, and happy listening time to your soul! 🙂
