Let your soul....

From time to time, I get "addicted" to a song, and have to listen to it over and over again.  Tonight, the song was Sting's "Let Your Soul be Your Pilot":

Let your soul be your pilot
Let your soul guide you
He'll guide you well

When you're down and they're counting
When your secrets all found out
When your troubles take to mounting
When the map you have leads you to doubt
When there's no information
And the compass turns to nowhere that you know well

Let your soul guide you upon your way...

Good words, good song, makes you think about things.  Let your soul guide you. What does that mean? I was raised "churched".   The folks made sure I went to church every Sunday.  Not that I minded, it worked back then, and I'm happy for who I am now.  But there was always something i religion that was missing for me.  As a result, I consider myself more of a spiritual sort than part of organized religion.  (I realize that some people need the organized part .... but I digress).  
Being spiritual, there's an inner voice we all have, some hear their voice louder than others.  Call it soul, call it spirit, call it intuition - the label doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that does.  Trust what you've been taught.

When I was a student in Sunday School, part of our confirmation was a Bible verse chosen by our Pastor just for us.  Mine was II Timothy 3:14 :  "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it."   I had good teachers throughout my life, and it's those people who influenced my spirit, my soul, my inner voice.  I trust those to lead me where I need to go.

Let your soul be your pilot.
He'll guide you well.
