"Regeneration" Definition:
· (biology) growth anew of lost tissue or destroyed parts or organs
· the activity of spiritual or physical renewal
· re-formation: forming again (especially with improvements or removal of defects); renewing and reconstituting
When we bid farewell to the prior calendar year, we symbolically close
the door on our past. With lessons and experiences completely behind
us, moving in a new direction with new opportunities and possibilities
provides us a chance to regenerate our lives and our spirits. In
addition to beginning a new year, we start anew spiritually. The soul
we tamed last year, becomes a feral, primal foundation for the rebirth
of our human covenant with life.
Starting fresh, with a wild, almost primeval soul we place ourselves in
the jungle of growth and development. Forgetting the past left behind
in the dust of lessons already learned, we begin again, as raw energy,
seeking the wisdom of life’s travails to mold us into our highest and
best expression.
The soul, ever changing, always existing, stays with us from life to
life, gauging our progress and balancing our behavior with our
achievements.
Life offers repeated chances to “get it right” and we
welcome the chance to begin again, as a wild soul, to absorb the bounty
of what we see, hear and do.
Man is distinguished from animals, as many religions tell us, by
virtue of having a soul. The unseen, intangible and integral component
of human life, exists primarily on faith, yet intrinsically an inner
knowing. A soul cannot be measured or quantified, viewed by medical
technology or palpable by manipulation. The soul persists in spite of
bodily limitations and despite our choices!
Regeneration
With central disk intact, a starfish regenerates itself from just
one remaining limb. Like the starfish, when our souls suffer damage
from life experiences, with our spiritual core intact, we regenerate
anew, as well. The new components of our soul, untested, yet very much
a part of our being, are feral and wild with the viability and
flexibility of new growth.
As our soul progresses through time, the reformation of our character
augments our disparate nature and bonds together to progress on a new
path of development.
The soul cannot renew itself as a mature, polished and capable self. If
so, it would look exactly like what we dismissed as the truth about
ourselves. Like the rest of life, renewal often originates from pain
and disconnection with spirit. We then, detach from our dis-eased past,
and regenerate a new inexperienced part of ourselves, allowing our new
feral, or student, soul to emerge, eager to learn and grow in a
positive direction. The new part of ourselves, merges with wholeness
and completeness with our basic spiritual core, and we move forward.
Like a cherished discovery, our feral soul distinguishes itself as
a natural power in our continuing existence. The wild, untamed beauty
of pure potential, emerges, whether or not the man-made calendar says
its time to leave the past behind.
May you enjoy the freedom of your feral soul, as you regenerate your spirit this coming year, and always!
