From a Spiritual perspective we have an evolutionary goal, and that goal for us, as a human family, is now to become Soul conscious. We, as awakening Souls, we can set the initiative and create sub-goals to help us get there, and even a seemingly mundane goal such a losing excessive weight and getting fit like a yogi is a step towards Soul consciousness. Because you as the indwelling consciousness – Soul and consciousness are synonymous terms – are saying, “I, the Soul, will make it a focus now and master the matter aspect (the body of appearance).” That’s really what it is from the perspective of the Soul, and that’s what we are supposed to do from an evolutionary perspective.
One thing that’s new about the New Age is that we, as a human family, are awakening to the reality of the Soul and to the need of the hour to develop Soul consciousness, and a new year’s resolution – a new month’s resolution, a new week’s resolution, a new day’s resolution – is a wonderful tool to help us develop our consciousness, step by step, every day a little more, so we may indeed become Soul conscious in the here and now.
So, in conclusion, don’t just have new year’s resolutions. Treat every first day of the month and every first day of the week and really every day as you would January 1st. Keep setting goals, every day, every week, every month, every year, because the purpose of life is to evolve our consciousness, and goals help us to evolve our consciousness, they help us to stretch and to grow.
