The Inner Environment

The most powerful environment that affects every human being is the one created by thoughts, beliefs and feelings, and secondarily only by the physical environment. But even this is not the ultimate determining reality. The ultimate reality or environment in which we exist is the archetypal environment – the energy blueprint for thoughts, ideas, feelings and actions. The archetypes present the natural blueprint for harmony, creativity and unity.

All archetypes exist in the essence of things and people. Another way of saying this is that all archetypes exist within soul. And since soul is essentially intelligent, loving and powerful, all archetypes contain these three energies.

When we meditate as soul beings, or whenever we connect with soul, we are influenced by the intelligent, loving and powerful energies that create harmony and unity in our life and experiences. We are also affected by the essential energies of Beauty, Truth and Goodness.

The awareness of the importance of even the physical environment is not shared by many people who typically see physical effects produced only by physical causes. Even Darwin said near the end of his life, “…the greatest error which I have committed has been not allowing sufficient weight to the direct action of the environments…” He was thinking of external environments.

But the inner environment or context in which human personalities exist is soul. Hence, soul’s subtle influence in everything we experience in our bodies – physical, mental and emotional – either as a direct impact which is constantly happening, or a distorted reaction to soul influence when we are not aware. Our personality task is to come to know ourselves at a soul level, and to increasingly be receptive to its influence in our thoughts, emotions and actions.
