Embodiment of virtues is a process of unfolding ever-deeper layers of the soul. We spend lifetimes coming to new understandings of each virtue, deepening our practice each day. As we do so, we arrive at a progressively deeper integration of the soul into the surrounding world.
As we allow this unfolding, the understanding of who we are as ‘soul’ also shifts — becomes fuller, brighter, lighter, more expansive. An integration of spiritual and physical arises that is experienced as clearly centered in the body and grounded in Earth/Universe, simultaneously fully aware of the Unchanging/Ever-changing aspects of Self and Is-ness that hold and move every aspect of life.
