Soul Truth

Mindful Minute

Today, take a minute (or more) and think about soul truth. We all have heard the adage, “The truth will set you free.” It’s also true that the truth will set your soul free. Many of us live our lives, suppressing our truth. We may be afraid for others to see the real “us.” Yet our soul wants us to be the person we were born to be. Matthew Fox talks about it in the “Handbook of the Soul.” He says, “The soul needs to take in, like food, experiences of truth about oneself and the world. When we allow in the experiences of ourselves and others as they really are, the soul is being nourished.” He goes on to say, “We need to find a philosophical friend whose main interest in the relationship is truth.” But then the catch is, and I love this line, he says, “This is sometimes hard because we often turn to friends to support our illusion.” Let’s think about that for a minute or more.
