In the bible we are told that G-d formed man from the dust of the earth then breathed into this form the breath of life and man became a living soul. A form was created. The form (man) was made in the image of G-d. I have not totally grasped all this means but it has me pondering.
To add to the mystery in understanding this created being, scripture tells the story of Adam and Eve and they're removal from the Garden of Eden. So in my thought process, we dwell in the place they (Adam & Eve) were displaced to. Perhaps a realm more than a location. oh and one more minor detail. This man who was formed and became a living soul was provided a covering when man became aware he was not covered (naked).
I have experienced moments where I have felt trapped and yearned to be free. Free to soar, fly, move and dance. Free. Not contained within this body. One of those moments occured when I turned the stairs and my eyes beheld the sight of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. From right where I stood, my soul wanted nothing more than to soar from this body and be at that place. This almost indescribeable emotion, need, desire was one of the most intense moment I have ever had.
When I explore the inate thoughts and questions I tend to come up with, I talk with G-d and meditate on HIS word. Lately I have been hearing answers and being led to places where I find new understandings. I want to talk about them and share them with you. Thank you for being a part of my journey...............................
