2. Reflecting on being SOUL

Hello, and welcome to this sacred space. Welcome to a quiet moment.

Welcome to a short meditative time together!

I’m Bill Bauman …

and it’s my honor to spend these few precious moments with you.

Today, let’s reflect on … being SOUL!

Let’s sit together now … right in the middle of your soul—

that invisible center of your human presence!

This precious, mystery-filled soul—your personalized realm of pure light within you—

is right here, present to us, right now.

It’s always here, always present, always operating

as the silent power behind your human throne.

It’s here to inspire you, to awaken you and to motivate you.

Perhaps most of all, though, it’s here to remind you of the TRUTH.

YOUR truth!

Yes, whenever we forget who we are or what our human dream is all about—

or whenever we start to take it all too seriously—we need to be reminded.

Here … now … today … let’s sit in your soul’s truth—your deepest, highest truth!

What might your all-knowing soul be wanting to remind you of right now?

What aspect of yourself, your life, your priorities, your mindsets,

your assumptions, your human orientations, etc.

might your loving, dedicated soul want to talk with you about?

What is the “topic of the day” that your soul has called you to here,

in this moment, to invite you to?

To find out, let’s just let go …

leave our human concepts and ways of thinking behind for a few minutes.

Let’s move anew into our soul’s light-filled mind, where thoughts are few

and light is plentiful … let’s unpack our earthly concerns and just relax …

letting go into our soul’s deep embrace.

Notice how, right away, your soul just takes over, puts itself in charge,

assumes its rightful position as inspirer and manager of your human condition.

Notice how your dedicated and powerful soul, as it sits with authority

on the throne of your inner being, is whispering these words to you:

“I AM THE REAL YOU, THE BIGGER YOU!

I AM WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

I AM YOUR CENTRAL IDENTITY!

EVERYTHING ELSE—your human identity, beliefs, preoccupations

and orientations—IS SIMPLY THE HUMAN STORY.

I AM THE BIGGER TRUTH BEHIND THE STORY!”

Ahh, could this be the truth that your soul wants you to know more clearly?

Could this be the bigger reality of you, the soulful reality,

the reality that your all-knowing soul is inviting you to digest,

to own and to live at this special moment of your life?

As you take in your soul’s words,

notice everything within your human-ness awakening—

as if it’s hearing your soul’s words clearly, taking them in deeply,

feeling moved by them, realizing that this is the moment—your moment—

to claim soul as your grander identity … as your bigger source of truth …

as your internal center of power. As the bigger you!

Let go. Release anything human in you that feels ‘other’ than your soul …

or that seems to think that it is who you are.

Now, just melt into your soul. For now, just be soul!

Become its invisible-ness … drink in its enormous light …

taste its pure inspiration … delight in its over-the-forest truth …

marinate in its bigger-than-life wonder …

feel uplifted by its mighty spirit …

become soul … yes, become soul.

What is this moment like for you? Being soul?

Looking at everything through your soul’s inspired eyes?

Delighting in creation just as only a soul can do?

Being above and beyond the human story while

continuing to live within it?

You are soul … and your soul is you!

You are a soul—a pure being of light, while appearing to be human.

You, soulful you, are ever blessing this world and everything in it,

including and especially yourself, with your always-present light.

You, soulful you, are filling your apparent human self with that very light,

right now … and in every minute of every day and night.

Let’s spend this moment together, being soul together, you and I.

Being pure light … pure truth … pure knowing!

Being the power of light … the love of light …

the consciousness of light—right now.

Let’s watch our soul-fed light moving through our bodies,

our energy fields, our chakras, our many-leveled minds!

Let’s experience the amazing effects of our soul’s light on our bodies,

our energies, our chakras, our minds.

Let’s witness everything within us humming the tune of pure light,

the tune that our souls are now toning within us.

Let’s experience what it’s like to be a soul-inspired body …

a soul-propelled energy … a soul-rich chakra … a soul-conscious mind.

Yes, you and I are souls. Indeed, we’re so many identities

in addition to our human one. We’re souls—pure light.

We’re also essence—pure being.

In addition, we’re quantum non-beings—pure nothing-ness.

In this moment, though, we’re celebrating the wonder and magnificence of being SOUL—

being pure light … where we find the internal library of our real truth …

where we have an inner-sanctum-like holy home …

where we are filled with our light’s inspiration, its blessing, its empowerment.

May I honor you as a ‘being of soulful light?”

May I cherish you as a soul who has lovingly joined the rest of us

in the human dream … bringing your invigorating light to us and our world …

blessing us daily with that light … spewing its healing power onto us,

empowering and enriching us.

May I thank you, great soul, for gracing our human world

with your lighted presence … and for being a mighty soul in our world!

As you and I are now ready to leave this reflective moment,

may you, wonder-filled soul that you are, take your soulful self

into what we call the human world

and have a beautifully rich, soulfully charged day!
