This Week’s Quotation:

What first occurs when the sun comes out in your experience is that your emotional body basks in its radiance—the waters of your soul are warmed. The radiance of the sun that we bring is the power of love, and whenever love is received by the waters of our soul, we feel a blessing that nourishes us like nothing else. In some respects, it does not seem to matter how love is received in the emotional body. Whether it seems to be from another person, from within, or from the eternal reality beyond space and time, blessing—a deep spirit of love and care—is given and received. And the deeper the fire of love enters the waters of our emotional body, the more powerful the impact.

Soul Work

It is clear that the soul of humanity is undergoing a huge change in this era. The outer forms of human culture show it—our politics, our human relations, our health and much more. And we can each feel it happening in the depths of our own soul.

Here is what I have learned about the process of human transformation. It is always easier when you learn to let the deep waters of your soul be warmed by the radiance of the sun. This is the warming power of love within you. It is the power of all the atoms in your body and all atoms everywhere. It is your own fire in the belly and the radiance of the sun of our solar system. And it is the sun present in all the people you know.

When we expose the deep waters to that warming power, what is hard and frozen melts. And what is melted can flow and reshape. It can change easily to take on the forms of the next stage of our human evolution.

Ice doesn’t flow. It breaks. 

Cold, hard steel is brittle. No matter how hard it is pounded by the blacksmith, it cannot take on the shape he has in his mind’s eye. Steel warmed in the hot coals of the smith’s fire become malleable.

So if you know your life is calling you to change… If you know you are part of the body of humankind who is being called to its next stage of conscious evolution… How will you expose the deepest waters of your soul to the warmth of the sun? Because only then will those waters melt.

This is the soul work we are called to today. We are becoming a sun.

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
