The Soul Knows Where it Belongs.

Not some of the time. All of the time. When you strip everything away and get bare this fact sings.

In the deep interspection of belonging and faith and acceptance and honesty I found the intersection of my soul and my thinking unhampered by what I knew. Beyond feelings unhinged the truth. No matter how many lies others tell us or how many lies we tell ourselves. Truth is truth. In listening with an open heart, hearing is guaranteed.

Jungian Soul expert James Hillman talks about the distinction between the soul and spirit -- "the soul resides in the valleys of life and not in the peaks of intellectual, spiritual, or technological efforts."
