Adapted from The Deeper Wound, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2001).

As you contact your true self, you will discover that the soul is not passive. Spirit knows more about us than we do ourselves, and it wants to support our every step toward wholeness. The soul journey has been called the pathless path because there is no map. Every person’s steps are different.
SIMPLE SOLUTION:
Light has the power to fill the void afflicted by darkness. Healing yourself comes in two stages—releasing the energy of suffering, then replacing it with the soul’s energy. It is a gentle process, very much like holding on to a thread as it leads you from step to step.

What begins as the merest hint of new strength will grow. Your true self is always available to meet any challenge, find any answer, and show you the way out of any dilemma.

What matters is your connection to your true self. In fear and isolation your soul seems aloof, with no power at all. But this is a perception born of following the ego, which all of us have done.

If you take the time to listen to the voice of the soul—where the ego is silent—you will be astonished at the power you have at your command, however long it has been overlooked. No other discovery in life is as joyful as regaining your true self.

You are right of course, but when learning / beginning to hear that still, small voice, it's hard to distinguish it from your own imagination. It takes persistance and practice but there is so much more to learn inside than you would ever encounter outside, in one lifetime.

These wise words are not mine : ) But thanks for thinking so highly of me LOL
I agree much with Deepak, but use different words to express my understanding. I agree with you Don, that the inner has the ability to teach us much more and faster than the outer, yet many have still not found the inner teacher so continue to look outside of themselves. A "good" teacher will always direct a person that is seeking, to go within.

Deepaks statement: "releasing the energy of suffering, then replacing it with the soul’s energy" in my understanding is to remove the belief in suffering and replace it with Truth.

Healing is a natural result of change.
