What does this mean " searching for your soul " ? Have we lost it ? Have you found yours?I am not sure
There are some things in life we know. This is one of them. If you are not sure how would you know? So we have: 'searching for your soul' When we search and find what we are searching for; we know we have found it even if it it is momentary glimpse. Once we have seen it we never give up till we have not only had a glimpse of it but it becomes a permanent reality in our lives. Keep searching Divine Squirrel. Help us, as we all search for our immortality; our soul realization. In reality we have lost nothing. It is with us always. We just have to increase our knowing.

Sometimes this soul searching seems so abstract in translation this means I have a longer way to go than you, it seems you are closer in your search, your knowing working on increasing my knowing as I continue my searching thanx, Divine friend

Evaluation of where we are in regards to one another is a tricky thing that only god can really evaluate. People are valuable to one another in many ways. When it comes time for you to be useful to us or to anyone for that matter you will know and help. On the spiritual path some of us are sprinting others are dragging their feet. But there is much to life that can be turned into spiritual conditions. Just recognizing that we are all struggling along trying to find the answers to lifes difficult set of problems and circumstances often gives us pause to stop think and pray for one another. Compassion is a key element in opening the doors that expand our spitiatul awareness.
The best thing to start on if you have not already is to quiet the chatter of the mind. Because just behind the monkey minds' endless chatter is the pure consciousness of the soul. This can be done many ways but this may help you as it has helped me:
"The best way to find God is through technique. There is a method to everyting we study and religion is just as much a scientific discipline as are medicine and mathematics. So also yoga is a science of spirituatl techiniques."

"Quiet the chatter " ? do you not know, squirrels are known for their chatter ...... do I chatter too much ? interesting idea, finding God thru scientific technique let us keep mathematics out of the equation, otherwise you will have one squirrel lost wandering thru eternity without direction yoga ? yogurt maybe depends on the flavor

I get this monkey visual, swinging from the trees so bright one, how do you change channels ? to get rid of the monkey visual ? Help for Divine Squirrel and all those experiencing difficulty with meditation: http://www.yogananda-srf.org/lessons/index.html and/or http://www.iam-meditation.org/ For those interested in Buddhism: http://www.dhamma.org/en/bycountry/na/ "The remote control of our mind should rest firmly in the palm of our hand." Imagine one with such mental control. Emotions, ideas and memories are at his beck and call. If anger comes, he can change the channel. The same with jealousy and greed. He can recall any past event, like reversing a DVD. If he wants ideas, he only need turn to the "idea channel" and a stream of creative ideas will flow forth. No more staring at the blank screen of writer’s block. Total and complete mental control—this is what IAM Meditation offers. hey ! thanx for the visual so bright one, how do you change channels ?

Soul searching is an honest evaluation of your feelings and motives. An example of soul searching is when you take the time to meditate and think about the purpose of your life and what is most important to you.
The soul is the supreme in the universe, the existence of which is still a topic of controversy and debate. This soul as the supreme truth where lies all the answers are caged inside our own mind by our thoughts. This soul is the well humanity is searching for quenching its thirst about questions that we are seeking.
The soul, the light of knowledge resides inside us waiting to be ignited by flame of ignorance, cleansed by its nectar to shed away the clouds of ignorance and then we would find how marvelous and stupendous is the world, a creation surreal filled with marvels for us to enjoy and cherish.

Maybe we just get too used to this life and therefore the surreal marvels are extinguished under the weight of the minds sef created burdens.

Searching for your soul is like trying to find a cloud that has a face.
