Reverend Whitney's Homework for the Day

My darling friend Whitney occasionally sends out missives from her higher self as daily exercises for meditation work. Below, is the one she sent today and I felt spirit move me to share it with you.

The druids believe that the soul encompasses the far extents of time and space, unencumbered by temporal dimensions. For the Celtic peoples, the physical world is seen to be made up of three elemental dimensions: the depths of the sea, the breadth of the Earth, and the airy regions of the heavens. Fusing these three dimensions together is the fiery Sun, whose diurnal circuit maintains the life of the apparent world.

Each soul lives within the dispensation of these dimensions; but the soul is regarded as yet greater than these, able not only to move through water, earth, air and fire but also to travel beyond these modes into the wider domain of the unseen world. For the Soul, the passage of ages is but a day in cosmic time; there is no sense of time passing, only an eternal present to soul-travelers who enter the otherworld.

When we begin to pay attention to our soul, rather than ignoring its needs and urgings, we experience a sense of inclusion within the Universe. When we learn to pass beyond the limits of our body as soul-travelers, we discover that the constellations and planets that spin within the soul are qualities, intelligences, and allies we have always longed for.

Look into the depths of your Soul, as into the immensity of inner space.
How is the cosmos reflected within your soul? What constellations and planets are featured therein? Within the Solar System of your Soul, what major features do you recognize?
