Inner Nature

Each person has his or her own inner nature. It is a like a fingerprint that distinguishes that person from every other. This nature is a blueprint for the tasks and challenges we experiences in our life. It is not simply the soul, but how our soul relates to the world and its unfolding. Our nature is a reflection of the soul in the mirror of the world.

The soul’s capacity for impacting the world is determined by its level of development. We are burdened by our person karma, our ancestral inheritance and our own limited awareness. These determine how much the material world influences our experience and actions. They hinder our ability to move ourselves and the world toward greater conscious evolution.

Development depends on our level of awareness, our understanding and wisdom, our intention and surrender. In our being, these are blocked or limited by the influence of material forces on our consciousness. These act through distraction and clinging causing fear of losing our ego identity. As we unburden ourselves of needy attachment, so we become free and alive.
