The Two Faces of Soul

The soul has two faces: one that is permanently turned toward God, and another that always faces the world.  The soul is our door into the divine.  There is a dimension of the soul that neither time nor flesh nor any created thing can touch.  The soul is created as if at a point between time and eternity, but with the lower powers she touches time.  She works in time not according to it but according to eternity.  There is nothing nearer to us than the divine; we need only slip into rhythm with it.
