WORKING THROUGH THE MAZE: BY LOLA WHISNANT

Sometimes it takes working through the maze of unbelief to find our strength. Yet, the soul mind can create all kinds of monsters. We can bring forth a multitude of thoughts that eat away our very reality of living. We can create a wilderness that takes us farther away from the truth that we really are. We make steps into the unknown and take hold of fear and all its manifestations of doubt. Mankind in soul thinking has created the ultimate separation from the true world of reality. Soul has taken upon itself all guilt and shame, unclothing its own innocence, and wrapped itself within the illusion of disbelief. Now, the very essence of its spirit self seems to elude it. God seems so far away. Man has robed self within the wilderness of his own deluded thoughts. Fear lurks in every facet of thinking. He feels so lost and outside of the will and purpose of God. There seems to be such a gulf between where he is and where he feels he should be. He is forever trying to find himself. He blames self for his own descent into death.

Soul has lost its innocence and now believes that its own dream of creations is more real than the reality from which it sprang. The negative force is more eminent than the positive. The dream has become more about man's failures and his unruly disobedience. The great power of love has become darkened with greed and hate. Soul feels overwhelmed within the senses of the physical man, for they are filled with pain and suffering.

The creative power that once came through life and love is swallowed up within the dream. Soul has become a wilderness of mixed emotions and thoughts. It feels helpless, unworthy, and deformed of value. It struggles toward the light, but with no avail. It no longer knows the infinite, unconditional love of the Father, that part of itself that makes it complete. The wilderness of mind has caused soul to be unaware of its real purpose. It measures God after the dream that it is dreaming. It feels that God is a man that is judgmental and full of blame. The thoughts built up of the lie, has caused soul to be an accuser, so it feels that God is always accusing and condemning, so it feels weak and distraught.

Mankind is lost within the wilderness of his own limitations until he catches a vision of the love that makes him whole. Once he begins to move out of the dream into the greater knowing of his true self, he will know himself within a greater purpose. He will find that God is a spirit and that spirit is the very life of his own existence. Then he will know that the wilderness that he has walked in is a type of an illusion, a dream created within the chambers of souls mind.
