Life will not, it will never, make sense to your mind. The secret is to see life from the soul's perspective; to add to the mind's experience the soul's wisdom, awareness, and total knowing.
Interpretation
Life cannot be fully understood by the mind alone; the soul's perspective is essential for deeper understanding.
This quote by Neale Donald Walsch emphasizes that intellectual reasoning is insufficient to grasp the complexities of life. It encourages individuals to connect with their deeper selves—their soul—gaining wisdom and awareness that transcends mere cognitive understanding, thus leading to a more holistic experience of existence.
In practice
During a motivational seminar discussing personal growth.
What you hope, you will eventually believe. _x000D_ What you believe you will eventually know. What you know, you will eventually create. What you create, _x000D_ you will eventually experience.

Giving up is not the answer. Neither is giving in. Stand your ground. There is a way of doing that without having to be combative. There is a way of hanging on to your true self, and demonstrating it, without resorting to aggression. But giving up and giving in is not the way. Simply and quietly claiming your right to be You is the way.
Habit is the denial of creativity and the negation of freedom; a self-imposed straitjacket of which the wearer is unaware.

For knowing is spoken of in three ways: it may be either universal knowledge or knowledge proper to the matter in hand or actualising such knowledge; consequently three kinds of error also are possible.
My disenchantment? Oh no, my dear, there are no disenchantments, merely progressions and styles of possession. To exist is to be spellbound.
Tears throw a veil over our faults and allow us to accuse fate without fear or contradiction.
No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.
