Reading a book by Derek Prince about our soul, recently, made me think about the soul of a house. Derek wrote that there are three elements of a human soul. Your will, intellect, and emotion. He said that a man’s spirit moves upon a man’s soul, and a man’s soul directs his body (actions, habits, daily character.) As long as man remains in submission to God, his soul remains in submission to his spirit and man functions in harmony to God. When we rebel, that inner harmony is broken. There is constant tension between spirit and soul. Wow, deep thoughts.
I love to read things that make me think, on a higher level. Everything is relatable to our lives, and the work that we do. In life, it’s about having as blameless a walk as possible, and being congruent. Congruency is when thoughts line up with actions, and when our inner and outer worlds match.
When I think of this as it applies to my own work with homes and technology, I think about how we can be congruent, and simplify things. Transparency is always important in a house sale, and making sure everything is congruent is important. In a home, the inside must match the outside. Everything should be at a congruent level, because if the outside has curb appeal but the inside is crumbling, it won’t sell. The soul of a house is more than just what we see with the eye. Is there an energy and life about it? Can we feel the joy? If not, why? Sometimes a small adjustment is all that’s needed to get everything aligned, and on the right track. It’s the same way in our own lives.
