The Sovereign Soul

Welcome. There are a lot of reasons you may have picked up this book. Maybe something about it resonated with you. When you looked at it, you felt something, some energy, some excitement, maybe even recognition. You read the words “Sovereign Soul” and you may have heard it, faintly at first, but then getting louder. You weren’t even sure what it meant - what is a “Sovereign Soul” exactly? - but somehow when you read the words, they felt familiar to you, intriguing, and somehow strangely satisfying. Some part of you, deep in your bones, recognized yourself in those words “Sovereign Soul” even as you read them silently to yourself a few times. There’s a chance that you recognized yourself in those words, exactly as you are today. But there’s an even greater chance that you recognized the You that you came here to be; the version of yourself that you keep longing for, but somehow never quite get around to becoming. You know the one I am talking about. Sometimes you see her on the street; she walks right by you and you recognize her. Sometimes you see her in a character that you identify with on TV. Or maybe you’re reading a particularly powerful piece of spiritual work, or listening to a powerful speaker, and you can actually hear her voice inside of you, urging you to pay attention, listen closely. Sometimes you dream about her, and when she shows up in your dreams, (either as you or with you), you feel more energized, more powerful and more alive than you’ve ever felt before. It’s distinct and joyful and it stays with you for days after the dream. You can remember what it was like to be her, even if only for that short while. Other times she can be irritating, when you want something to be easy, when you want to fit in, when you want someone around to do that “heavy lifting” for you, but there she is, independent as ever, and pointing out all the things you are trying hard not to notice. She is persuasive and she can be persistent, this part of you. But she has to be. She is your Sovereign Soul and she has a purpose. She came here with a job to do. Her job is to deepen and strengthen your connection to God. She is your Divinity. She is your Highest Self. Your Sovereign Soul is the deepest, most connected, most powerful part of who you are, and it is finally time to actually welcome her into your life, instead of just dreaming about her. Your Sovereign Soul has been in love with you all of your life. Not just any love, but a deep and abiding love, a sustaining love - a Great and Mighty Love. And if you are reading this now, chances are you are ready to fall for her too. You are finally ready to love her back, the way that she loves you. This book is that love story. It is the story of how you embarked upon the journey home and with each step along the way fell more and more deeply in love with your own beautiful Soul. It is the story of how you finally came to really know her, and the more you knew, the more you delighted in her. The more you came to rely upon her, the more you came to trust her. It is the story of how she became your best friend and your constant companion, and in doing so began to direct your life in new and beautiful ways. It is a story about trust, and faith and devotion. This book is a love story. This book is also a guidebook. Throughout its pages you will find what I hope will be useful information, with powerful but practical strategies and a generous helping of inspiration all designed to help you discover and come to know the most beautiful part of who you are and find your way home. The quality of your journey will depend entirely upon what you bring to it. I encourage you to take what is useful, discard what is not, and try everything that appeals to you. This is an exploration. Your journey into the heart of yourself, your passionate love affair with your own Divinity - this is the greatest adventure – this is where the treasure lies! This is why you are you.
