		<description><![CDATA[Hi Maura, 

I&#039;m glad you are finding my reading worth while. I would like to ask if you could look at this from a different perspective for a moment. If not, then I honor your path just as you are. 

Imagine a world where no one argued or killed eachother over the name of God. No one tried to put a name to God or a gender or there own idea&#039;s of who God is. Imagine a world rather just living in the presence of God in each moment. 

I do get the thought of changing Soul to God, but as your consciousness deepens you will begin to realize that they are one in the same. The &quot;Soul&quot; is an individualized expression of God. Currently, many people still live in a world of separation. Where they are separate from God, as if God is somewhere high in the North....but when you read any Holy scripture we will realize that all the great teachers have taught us of our Oneness with God. 

It&#039;s like God is the ocean and you are a drop of the ocean. When you take the drop out of the ocean by itself, the drop still has all the same make-up as the ocean. You are the presence of God right now. 
Now, the problem is when people&#039;s Ego takes that idea and run&#039;s with it. We then have people becoming controlling and using there power in an arrogant way. 
When we truly recognize our Oneness with God, we see that it doesn&#039;t matter the name we call it, or it doesn&#039;t matter if someone chooses to have different beliefs. 

No matter how far you feel you are from God, you are always God right now. Your mind (which is not who you truly are) might tell you other wise, but you are always the Love that God is. And the person sitting across from you always is that very same thing, no matter what religion, race, or belief. 

What are your thoughts on this concept?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have enjoyed reading some of your blog.  I just happened upon it scrolling through wordpress.  If you were to replace the word Soul with God himself than I would say you are right on.  I have those &quot;off&quot; days and find that when I am not in tune with the Holy Spirit, and I have neglected to include the Lord in my day that is what causes me to be out of balance.  The Holy Spirit and God himself is the only provider of substantial food for the soul through a one on one relationship with Him.  You are almost there, keep writing, I enjoy your blog.]]></description>
