“When have you felt happy?”
“I don’t like that question,” I thought.
Why do I have a problem with that question?
Let’s pause.
Do you clearly know what makes you happy? Are you getting it? Have you settled? Or given up?
Maybe, you’re similar to me. You just feel tired.
My cat just leaped into my lap. I’m hugging him. Okay, I’m feeling happy.
But that’s not the whole story.
For one thing, he just shoved his tail into my face. I sneeze.

I have three insights for you.

1. Shift from What can I get? to Why am I here?

“What can I get?” is often connected to survival mode. Have you noticed that kids sense the competition that’s going on?

You have to push to get what you want.
It can feel exhausting.

In 2012, I received from the God and Goddess the directive “start a blog.” What? With my dyslexia?
I started the blog anyway. I get a lot of help.
But at the beginning, I did not know how things would go.
Recently, I’m thinking about “Why am I here?”
My thoughts include: “I’m here to support others in their learning and their individual path.”
Some of my favorite moments with my blog posts and podcast episodes include:

I appreciate hearing from readers.
I like discovering new topics and ways to synergize ideas and learnings.
I like editing my podcast episodes. I like the moments when an interesting assembly happens. For example, I’ll assemble the first part of one sentence and then use part of my second take to make things sound right.

When I’m doing my blog posts and podcast episodes, I feel connected to “Why am I here?”
How about you? When do you feel on purpose? This is part of your Soulful Need.

2. Sometimes, your Soulful Need is connected to release from something that shackles you.

At times, fear shackles me.
I find that I feel free of fear when I am doing my blog and podcast work, and I have a team member supporting me. So, my experience of freedom from fear is connected to “taking action while receiving support.” That’s a true revelation for me.

What do you need a release from?

Old ideas? Thoughts of limitation? An old identity? (For example, family members can try to hold someone as cemented to an old role of “the shy one.” … The truth is: You can be shy and still be an actor. I know someone like that.)

3. Have you given up a “positive expectation”?

I went to college because I wanted to be an animator using a computer. You know, someone who works at Pixar.
I am working with someone now so I can do some animated characters. (Groundwork is happening for that.)

I have not given up on the possibilities of animating material.
Have you become so tired that you have given up on having any “positive expectations”?
Your Soulful Need can arise as you answer questions like:

What would feel delightful?
What might cause me to stretch and grow?
What could be a positive possibility for me?

Your Soulful Need is connected to the divinity the God and Goddess placed within you.

Here is a prayer you can use:

God and Goddess,
Lead me to delightful discoveries.
Help me fulfill my Soulful Need with ease.
Show me the way to untold possibilities.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“What is a soul?” one of my Facebook friends asked.

This is a powerful question. In fact, I’ve had a number of conversations with elders in the Wiccan community on this topic.

I’ll now share a view that has formed for me out of those conversations and my own intuitive understanding:

In the beginning there was nothing but the Void. Then, with a single thought of “I AM!” the ALL created Itself. But soon, the ALL wanted a new experience, and so the ALL separated Itself into Two. The ALL did this by making a mighty scream. The Dark Half became the Goddess. She in turn gave birth to another entity that, at first was only a wave, but soon, It had thought, and so became Illumination. With illumination, the entity became intelligent, and He was the God, the Light Half to the Goddess.

The God slowly drifted away from the Goddess. Soon after his illumination, the God realized He had been created. He was curious about Who had created Him. He began a search, looking in a circle for the One who had made Him. Soon He realized that His Creator was no where that He had looked. The only place His Creator could be was in the center of the circle. So he went there and met the Goddess.

The Goddess found him brilliant and irresistible. She fell in love with Him. They made love and created all we know and that which we do not yet know.

We start with the ALL and then have the Goddess and the God.

How does this relate to you and I as souls?

A soul is the energy that resides within everything. From people to trees, everything has this sacred energy.

Where does this sacred energy come from? – from the ALL which yearns to learn about Itself. To understand Itself, the ALL creates small pieces of Itself, which are Its children.

The soul radiates the life soul energy. Further, the soul is connected by the different chakras located throughout our bodies.

I’m fascinated by the detail that the life soul energy manifests outward from the chakras as one’s aura. Some people can see this aura energy.

A few can see the aura and appreciate it as a guide to heal people. The healer sees via the aura whether the person has health problems. With this knowledge, some healers have clues as to how the person may heal.

It helps to have a view of how things are interconnected.

We, Pagans, understand how all people and beings are essentially connected.

Blessings,
