Why do we have to fall into soul? Why can’t we fly or rise into soul? Why is the way of soul paved by disappointment and disillusionment? Isn’t there a way to skip all that? Surely we can outsmart the fall, if we could just tap into our highest and best selves and only act from there, we’d be okay, right? Rise above. Choose love over fear. Light over dark. Afterall, you are only one choice away from a whole different and better life, right? All you have to do is make that choice. What are you waiting for?

Wow, do we love these kinds of messages in our frantic and disconnected world hyped up on conquering anything that threatens us. And while there is some truth to these motivational sayings, the fuller truth is more complex and most of us have to fall from the heights of spiritual awakening in order to connect with and live from the depths of soul.

But why? Why is the soul down low? And what about the spirit that just wants to fly free? Doesn’t it also matter?

In this episode, let's explore:

  • The original lovers of the Universe--soul and spirit
  • The One Thing (Soul) and The One Mind (Spirit) and how they exist within us
  • The Ego as a tyrant and the Ego as a servant
  • The seven stages of alchemy and how they help us create a harmonious marriage between Soul and Spirit 

There's some meaty alchemy in this one. Belly up and dig in. If you feel pulled.

With love,

McCall
