Soul at Rest

This blog has been a way for me to sort out truth from fiction – as well as what is helpful or healing for my mental wellness – and perhaps more how it feels coming from a dysfunctional cult-like religious abusive family.  

It was a tool I used to bring my tangled thoughts and messed up beliefs.

A blank space that welcomed not only my messed up head, but didn't judge my new ways of being Me. 

The blank page is open and always welcome and oh so patient as I type, delete, type and re-write.

 

Often I start out with a stressful thought.

A thought that won't leave me alone.

 

Or, I bring what I feel are good books, podcasts and other things that have helped me find my way to a life that brings me peace, love and joy.

 

I believe we are meant to live lives where our minds, body and souls are at rest.

Rest in Peace is for the living – not the dead.

 

And, I also believe heaven is here and not when we pass.

Our challenge is to find heaven – the place where our souls can rest.

 

I don't believe it is a place; but rather a deep feeling of love.

Love of self and love of humanity.

A place where differences blend in an artful array of color and shape.

The tapestry of life holds many threads and we each hold up our part of what being a human being is.

 

To me, mental wellbeing is when you can be yourself in the reality of life.

The ability to accept what is and who you are completely – creates a soul at rest.

    My soul will never be at rest on this earth. To me… the missing link is a longing – an inner sense of being incomplete without God. I think what we are searching for will be found- complete- when we pass on and are in heaven . I think that is why- no matter what one accomplishes here on earth- there is still – something missing. How could i be completely peace on this wretched earth where there is so much evil and hunger and abuse? I care too much for others . I am not an island. Still- peace on earth- or peace in one’s soul is a wonderful state of being and to be desired.Complete contentment will be found when we become one with our creator. Just my own beliefs. No wisdom— no bible quotes- just a sum of my life experiences and my spiritual growth .

    I understand your way of being. Each of us experience life from our own viewpoints and experiences.
    I was at a funeral not long ago, and the sentiment that seems to fill the religious understanding, is that what comes next is better than here – that here is a place of suffering etc. That we are better off without a body.
    Interesting.
    Isn’t there a saying about on earth as it is in heaven.
    I just know I am happier outside of religion – and at peace, compared to being in it.
    I can’t know about the sufferings of others – my sphere of influence is my own life.
    I wonder if more of us cultivated our own love, peace and joy would not the planet be more loving?
    I get you though and we can’t know the real answer until we breathe our last.
