What Are You Doing To Improve Your Soul Every Day?

Citizens of developed countries have gradually moved away from the quest for soul improvement. The very term “soul” is no longer used, such that the concept has vanished from people’s minds and hearts. For some, it is merely a philosophical idea; for others, it’s an outdated relic that doesn’t really belong in the “modern” era. Yet, the soul very much exists and neglecting it can harm you in this life and possibly beyond.

Contemporary school is a place of incomplete teaching

The secular and republican school was designed to develop our minds and bodies (through sports) and possibly our emotions through literature, for example. Essentially, the school overlooks an important dimension of being if one is to be complete: the soul. Indeed, a well-formed mind and a well-built body can help to be a good receptacle for the soul, yet the soul itself needs to be specifically cultivated. The soul requires daily care, or it risks withering like a flower neglected by water or sunlight. To work on your soul, you must act with awareness of it and knowing that everything you do can tarnish or illuminate your soul.

Improving your soul

Your soul behaves somewhat like your body, that is, it is sensitive to its environment. If you are in a warm room, your body will start to feel warm. If you are in a place with a high pranic level, your soul will feel strengthened and in harmony. Conversely, if you regularly frequent places or people with a low pranic level, your soul will begin to suffer. The first thing you can do to improve your soul is to start associating with the right people and go to places that promote your harmony. If this is not possible for you, another thing you can do to achieve peace for your soul is to abstain from committing bad actions such as lying, stealing, misusing your sexuality, killing or contributing to death, as well as intoxicating your mind (drugs, etc.). The first troubles of the soul start when this basic rule is not respected. Each of these bad actions can take a slightly different form:

• Lying: misleading, appearing different from what one truly is, etc.
• Stealing: causing someone to pay more than they should, etc.
• Misusing sexuality: not cultivating modesty in our gaze (ogling people, etc.)
• Killing: eating meat (and indirectly contributing to the death of animals)
• Intoxicating the mind: indulging in an activity that makes us dependent and from which we cannot free ourselves.
