The Rings of the Soul

Posted : 26 March 2019

Nature can teach us interesting lessons, when the time is right for you to understand them.

For those who do not know, a tortoise develops a new ring for each year, and is distinctively white at the last row of their shells.
This morning, I remarked to my mom, how prominent it was this year … “He must have had a good year”

This got me thinking. Even trees have year rings. Both are ancient creations. Maybe the Ancients are trying to tell us something. On a tree, the rings are on the inside, and we cannot see them, unless we cut the tree down. On the tortoise shell however, it is external and we can see it.

For us humans, it is on the inside like the trees, but we all have them, even though it is not visible to all humanity. The rings are on our Soul, our essence. Every event and experience is imprinted on the ring for that year.

If you recall my article on Life Challenges, some parts of the tree would harden more than others if presented with a challenge. The rings of your Soul Year would be exactly the same. It is in most cases the hardest part of the wood that had the most challenges. If we are speaking in the Soul sense, it would be the hardest parts of your life that is imprinted into your Soul Ring together with other events.

I think that it is everyone’s duty, to oneself, to explore these rings we have, and to understand why they are as they are, and to learn from them. They are there and cannot be altered, but one can understand them. They are after all there as part of whom you are today. Embrace the Soul Ring for what it is … A library of Self Knowledge.

As nature has Her seasons, so do we! Once we start to understand this, we will understand ALL!
