We know souls connected to divine source through regular meditation receive inner peace. However, those same souls receive much more. Souls connected with divinity understand the necessity of channeling divine truth. Such souls also realize their obligation to offer help and guidance to fellow souls as well as to participate in this life for the betterment of humanity, nature and all its creatures. So while living within inner peace may sound like an ultimate destination, an end-game of sorts, souls enjoying such a connection know a different truth.

This can lead to confusion from the uninitiated, and even the newly-initiated, when a soul at peace experiences intense motivations. A few examples include stopping a lost soul from inflicting pain to an animal, helping put an end to a lost soul’s oppressive behavior toward other souls or even standing firm against oppressive leadership, from the kind found in a place of mundane employment up to and including national and international leadership.

At times like these, disconnected souls may see the intensity with which a connected soul approaches what they know from divine truth to be their mission in this world and this life. Seeing such ambition and devotion to something “worldly,” the disconnected may confuse such fervor for evidence that the connected soul actually lacks inner peace. Similarly, newly connected souls may question the strength and authenticity of their own connection with the divine the first several times they experience these intense passions after first forging their connection with source. After all, the last time they felt something this intensely, it came from someplace very wrong.

Continued meditation and a deeper understanding of truth reveal that such passion, indeed, comes from connected souls’ divine charge to take part in and improve the world around them. Summed up, the soul at peace may still experience an authentic will on fire. Once a soul knows truth, excuses for failing to rise to one’s calling fall away.

For example, truth tells us humans should foster and protect animals. This means allowing the natural predator its prey as much as it means limiting our impact on the planet so as to avoid destroying habitats and inflicting harm (even unintentionally) with our inventions. It means taking action when called upon as much as it means resisting the urge to tamper with the natural order.

Even connected souls will disagree about semantics and the levels to which these truths must be lived. Some choose to go vegan to uphold these precepts to their most literal interpretation, while others feel humans are natural predators too, and can guiltlessly partake in cruelty-free meat and animal products.

Still, no connected soul could stand by, and watch humans plunder and abuse animals for their own enjoyment, sense of social standing or profit. Souls knowing divine truth no longer suffer from the sustained, crippling rage experienced and exhibited by disconnected souls in “reaction” to such events. The soul at peace releases that rage immediately and effortlessly, via divine empowerment, and with the knowledge that it serves no purpose and can only cloud and impair the pure action that needs to take place to remedy the situation.

Connected souls, will, according to their individual callings, put passionate efforts into this and other affronts to the divine. Other examples include destruction of our planet and its eco-system, failure to share wealth and resources appropriately and oppression of any portion of humanity Disconnected souls may sense the passion of connected souls’ responses and misconstrue that passion as a lack of inner peace or even rage. Their confused assumptions won’t concern the well-connected soul, who cares nothing for what other souls may think of or say about them. Souls with perfect inner peace realize that, by their divine charges, they may often experience a will righteously on fire.
