I met someone recently who was proud to call themselves an atheist - because belief in a divinity of any kind was not logical. For them the world was pure logic - emotion had no part to play in it at all.

It was interesting to explore with them their experience of faith - they had even studied Christian theology in their own personal quest for enlightenment but had remained steadfastly atheistic seeing neither sense nor reason in the belief of something beyond our understanding.

We chatted around things over a drink and gradually it came out that they placed little value on emotion. That, for them, logic was stronger than emotion every time. As we discussed this I asked “if it is perfectly logical to self-preserve, to serve only oneself where does the motivation come from for a father or a mother to willingly sacrifice their lives for the lives of their children. To place themselves in harm’s way, even death itself, to protect those they loved? Surely that demonstrated that love was beyond the self? That logic was not the stronger power but emotion? Is it not emotion that gives us the strength to act selflessly, to act when everything screams not to?”

Then they shared that they had not yet experienced love - that this was still a journey that awaited them.

Love is a powerful force - it can cripple and break us or it can raise us to new heights of existence - and between those levels there are many other levels of what we term ‘love’. But the absence of love itself is a terrible thing.

I’ve always believed that the Creator - however you may perceive it/him/her - speaks to us through our dreams but sings to us through our emotions.

A friend and colleague’s father died recently in Australia - when she was just hours from touching down and being at his side. It struck me as very sad. Not just the death - that is after all not something to fear - it is a transition between levels of being. What was sad was her being so close, having almost seen the journey to its end and then not being there for that final goodbye in this world.

Death and taxes - the two sureties of life they say. What is inconstant in death is the manner in which it comes for us but what is constant about death is it’s transformation to a new place for the dying, the freedom from fear and pain and the sorrow for the living left behind.

Do we know what exists beyond the portal that leads us from this life to the next? No, not with any certainty. But I know this - energy can neither be created nor destroyed merely changed from one form to another. If this principle holds true, then the soul energy that lights our body - that gives it consciousness and emotions and purpose and passion - can only be released to another place when the body that carried it, for however brief a time, has reached it’s own natural span.

Death is a tranformation only, a freedom - a continuance of the adventure and not it’s end. It may be time before the souls that knew each other in this life meet again but meet they will. If life is energy then each life, each consciousness, is bonded by the frequency of the vibration of life - the harmony, the soul song - that they shared in this one.

Those we love share our thoughts, our emotions and our souls while we share the light of their lives in this world. Why would not share that same song in the worlds to come?

Welcome to the new home of Rebel Souls. This blog will focus on spiritual matters and reflections on our journey through life - it’s purpose and meaning. As things grow it is planned that a book, a social network and then a quest-site where people can engage with the site and walk the path of a Rebel Soul can join, connect and share their unique live and spiritual experiences.

A Rebel Soul is a person who is prepared to step out of the beliefs that we inherit as a result of upbringing or custom. A Rebel Soul consciously questions the beliefs that others may hold and commits themselves to their own personal spiritual evolution. The seek a new perception of faith and soul for a new r’evolutionary age.

It’s about intelligent spirituality - the concept of spirit-centredness independent of religious dogma or dictat. It’s about someone who wishes to walk their unique and personal path towards enlightenment and self-actualisation. There are young souls, old souls and rebel souls - people who are aware of a purpose and meaning to life or who are actively seeking it out and are prepared to ’step outside the norm’ in the pursuit of knowledge and experiences that connects their soul to the Divine.

We are all on journey of perfecting. That is our reason for being. Welcome to the journey.
