The soul is the very essence of who we are. It sets the ground rules, guides our behaviour and creates our inner being. Our soul rules our head, heart and emotions, and is unique to the individual. It directs our personality and enables the connection we have to each other. The soul can keep us under a tight rein, be confined by negativity and oppression, remaining so unless we release it. Or the soul can remain a free spirit, embracing all the goodness and beauty within our surroundings. Only we can choose. The soul is our teacher, lover, guiding light and does not need permission from any religious, political, economic or any other outside force to be able to function in its highest form. Our soul forgives, loves and continues to guide us through our unique existence. Upon death our soul is then released into infinity.
I am my soul.
