“What does a lawyer know about the soul? I thought lawyers don’t have souls!” When I finished writing my book, Soul Matters, and I made the decision to leave the practice of law to write and teach people about the soul, a lot of my friends asked me this question. Of course they asked in jest, but I decided to take it literally. After all, I was a lawyer, and working as a lawyer for many years did feel like hell to me, so who better to answer the question.
But soul will not be denied, so when it is ignored it begins to manifest itself in ways designed to attract our attention. Problems and obstacles arise in life, trying to wake us up to the truth. Whereas honoring the path of soul creates experiences of peace, grace and ease, denying soul creates experiences of anger, depression and dis-ease. For many years I lived a “should do” life, trying to please everyone around me but myself. And I was often angry, depressed and internally powerless because of this denial of soul.
We all necessarily play the role of judge in life. Life presents such a wide variety of ideas and options, from which we all must make choices and judgments about the thoughts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], words and actions we will adopt as our own. Thus, the role of judgment is necessary to the manifestation of our own individual experience.
We are all attracted to different ideas, people, places and things, and it is because of these differences that we are able to create for ourselves a distinct identity, that we are able to define who we are. The variety of life creates the construction materials from which we get to build ourselves. This is the path of soul. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once noted, following our attractions in life is the best way to follow the path of soul, for the intention of the soul manifests itself through our attractions.
Every moment of your life, beginning with right now, you have the opportunity to follow your attractions and honor your soul. On a piece of paper, make a list of the people, places, things and ideas that attract you, and make a decision to pursue these things - passionate
What does a lawyer know about the soul? Or in other words, what can a lawyer learn about the soul? I also decided to think more deeply about the judgment that “lawyers don’t have souls.” What purpose do our judgments about others really serve? Like most things in life, these questions made me think more deeply about how soul really manifests itself in life.
Because of the pain, however, I began to read about many of the principles. One author I read stated that we have to stop “should-ing on ourselves.” Many others stated that to escape the living hell that can be created when we deny our souls, we have to begin living life based on our attractions.
I began my career as a trial lawyer. The most exciting aspect of that work was appearing in court, before a judge, to argue a case. There was always a distinct aura and excitement in the courtroom. We would eagerly wait for the judge to enter the room, at which point he or she would take their seat on a big,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], black leather chair on a stand that was elevated above everyone else. In cases decided by the judge, he or she has all the power and control and can dictate the course, direction, and the outcome of the trial. I know from friends who are judges that there is a great feeling of power and control that comes with being a judge. In the courtroom, the judge is God.
The judgments many of us make about which ideas, people, places or things to include in our lives, though, are often regurgitations of the predetermined thoughts that have been projected on to us by our families, peers, or social norms. Living this way, we often do things we, and others, think we “should do,” rather than do things we really want to do. Inevitably, living life like this soon becomes a personal hell (an internal state of confusion, despair or anguish),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because it is living a lie. It is a denial of who we are and a denial of our souls.
