September 13th, 20th and 27th
‘The soul’s authority’ is a phrase I heard in passing this summer in Ireland—one that went right through me like a knife. The phrase seemed to both identify and immediately activate a central ground of knowing inside me, located at a very fierce centre of my body, and I just happened to hear it when I was ripe for a deeper understanding.
The phrase speaks to the centre inside us but also the way we can make a path to that centre, and the way that centre lies in all of us as a still point that amazingly, can also order and organise all the restless complexities of the world that surround us.
We can look at the soul as the faculty of belonging in each of us, that part of us that is trying to belong to the world in the largest way it can. The bravery of the soul is often disturbing to the way our surface life is arranged, so shifting our identity from surface to depth, from complexity to radical simplicity, from immediate barriers to a guiding star beyond, is a necessary part of the journey.
Join me for Three Sundays in September along a journey into ‘the soul’s authority’, the blessed inner star of navigation that carries the ability to draw us through all difficulties, shining brightly, even through the clouded skies of our everyday confusion.
