Summary: God is Soul
“Crowds of disheartened people ask, “Who can show us what is good?” Let Your brilliant face shine upon us, O Eternal One, that we may know the undeniable answer. You have filled me with joy, and happiness has risen in my heart, great delight and unrivaled joy, even more than when bread abounds and wine flows freely. Tonight I will sleep securely on a bed of peace because I trust You, You alone, O Eternal One, will keep me safe.” (The Voice, Ps. 4:6-8)
Reflection: Consider that trusting the Eternal, trusting your intuition will bring more peace, more joy, more happiness and delight and satisfaction than any material thing like food, drink, sex, shopping, video games, movies, etc., could ever bring. Have you ever imagined something good and then felt that goodness permeate your senses as if it was right there with you? It is our true spiritual sense that satisfies, and not the thing that we think brings it. Experiment throughout your day with tuning into your feelings about the things you are giving and receiving. Now remove the “things”. Can you still feel the sense without it?
Spiritual fact: “Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind, and happiness would be more readily attained and would be more secure in our keeping, if sought in Soul.” (SH 60:29-31)

“To an ill-attuned ear, discord is harmony; so personal sense, discerning not the legitimate affection of Soul, may place love on a false basis and thereby lose it. Science corrects this error with the truth of Love, and restores lost Eden. Soul is the infinite source of bliss: only high and holy joy can satisfy immortal cravings.” (Miscellaneous Writings 287:8-10, 12-13)
