Welcome to the Jenni Carroll Perspective. Today we are going to continue to investigate our purpose as we look at some of the ideas found in one of the most important spiritual books of our time, The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav. We will further explore the principle of Authentic Empowerment, which we mentioned in the last episode. We will also closely examine the differences between our personality and our soul. Finally, we will discuss the difference between a Five-Sensory Perspective and a Multi-Sensory Perspective and touch on the subject of intention.
There is little difference between our humanness and our personality. Without our personality, we wouldn’t be present on earth. Nevertheless, like a costume, our personality also serves to keep hidden our truer, whole selves. Our soul embodies our true self. The soul is immortal and isn’t limited by the strengths and weaknesses of our personalities because the soul is connected to Source, to the Divine.
The relationship between the personality and the soul is founded on the goal of Authentic Empowerment. Authentic Empowerment is achieved when the personality is in full alignment with the soul, making it difficult to see “where the personality ends and the soul begins.” The personality is tasked with the hard work of healing in the physical world, our earth school. Everything we do, all of the choices we make on a daily basis are opportunities to align with our soul.
The foundational principle of Intrinsic Worth is better understood when we recognize the relationship between our personalities and our soul. When we are connected to our Intrinsic Worth (to the greatness of our soul) the easier our lives become. Not only do we experience more joy, more peace and more love, but we also are supported in more easily and more quickly fulfilling our greatest purpose.
In order to better connect with the Intrinsic Worth sourced from our soul, we must shift from a Five-Sensory Perspective to a Multi-Sensory Perspective. Operating from a Five-Sensory Perspective limits us to being focused on all that we don’t like and the negative emotion and experience it creates. When we learn to connect with our greater selves, we become Multi-Sensory. We are no longer limited by a perspective that is based on physical senses alone. Even as we continue to use our physical senses to function and participate in our lives, we begin to understand ourselves differently.
Gary Zukav reminds us that there is so much power in our intention. Intention sets into motion the experiences that can fulfill our purpose, bringing us closer to alignment with our soul. Or, unfortunately, can instead serve to create more problems taking us farther from Authentic Empowerment. If we are not aware of our underlying intentions, they will play out unconsciously. The principle of intention is another foundational idea and one that we will explore in a future episode.
