Deeply resonate with your article — both as a parent and as someone who tries to live from the heart, guided by love.
Not long ago, I had a conversation with my child about the soul. I shared something I had recently come across, though I approached it with a bit of skepticism, perhaps due to my somewhat traditional beliefs: the idea that there is one universal soul, and we — all people on Earth — are simply its fragments. Through each of us, this one soul experiences life.
To illustrate it, I said it’s like an octopus — the single soul is the head, and we are its many arms.
My child responded, quite simply, that this is true.
Still, I challenged the idea a little and asked again, “But if we are all so different, why would there be only one soul and not many?” He just repeated calmly, “There is only one soul for all.”
I completely agree that today’s generation — and my child too (born 11/09/11) — only truly opens up through love and care. I always make a point to listen to him.
Thank you for this article — it truly touched me. And now I can’t wait to read: what comes next…?
