Psychology and Soul

A friend is someone who sees through you

and still enjoys the view.

Wilma Askinas

The word psyche literally means soul and the word psychology was derived from this word.  So it could be said that psychology is founded upon our connection with our soul.

Psychology has been an important tool for me to use in exploring my experiences, behaviors and reactions.  It has helped me a great deal in understanding my ego and human frailties.  After years of study and application, I finally found my self led within to connect with my soul.  It is how my spirituality came to be.

Combining psychology with spirituality, my life path expanded and I came to understand my life purpose.  This enabled me to have an open and compassionate heart accompanied by forgiveness and acceptance.  I believe through spiritual practices I have integrated into wholeness.

And yet, I stumble in the darkness.  New shadows creep out and startle me.  And even though I know from whence they come, they are foreign to me.  Once again I am called to embrace that which was in order to understand that which is.

It matters not how spiritual we are as we are here for the human physical experience which is accompanied by challenges and lessons.  Through my personal struggles I will continue to grow and to remain happy with who I am.
