IMMORTAL SOUL OR PSEUDO-SOUL -- PART TWO

 

The age of the soul and the number of its previous  lifetimes do not determine higher consciousness.







The True Essence

The soul is the true essence of who and what we are. It is that which houses our Akashic Records, the data bank that stores all the experience and knowledge we have accumulated since the beginning of our existence. Lessons and accomplishments from lifetime after lifetime are carried within the essence of the soul, and the strength of its Light determines the strength of our character. The greater the light, the higher dimensional a being one is. In this way, higher consciousness is achieved, which brings more faith in the power of this Light that is ruled by the Christ energy. The lower the Light, the more lessons one has to learn and the more Karma one has to clear.

The age of the soul and the number of its previous lifetimes do not determine higher consciousness. Higher consciousness, enLIGHTenment, comes from meaningful experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that there truly is only one law -- the Law of Love. When one leads a life expressing this belief, the mind and the heart begin to open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known.

Celestial Souls

There are two kinds of souls embodied on Earth today: celestial and earthling.
Celestial souls, the souls of the Children of Light, are those who have come to Earth directly from other dimensions and parts of the Universe. Many of them have not had many incarnations on Earth, because they learned Earth´s curriculum long ago and graduated to experience higher dimensional realities. When they did embody, they often chose roles as monks, nuns, priests, priestesses, lamas, yogis, or other spiritual rulers. Most were Atlantean Masters more than 10,000 years ago. Primarily, they volunteered to come to Earth during these times to offer assistance in bringing more Light to the world.

In reality, all souls originated from other parts of the Universe. The celestial souls are those who remember this.

Today, most of these celestial souls are common people, living ordinary lives. They have embodied in ordinary situations because this is part of a celestial plan -- the plan designed for Earth´s transition into the Age of Aquarius.

Three Conditions

The celestial plan states that three conditions must be met (by the majority of the celestial souls) to assure that these individuals will be grounded in Earth´s curriculum in order to complete their work on the planet. These three conditions are :

1. Most of the souls will be born into families that are of either middle or lower economic class. This assures that each individual is raised in an environment that teaches the pain, struggle, and joys of humanity.

2. The souls will embody in families that provide them with a strict religious background, representing all faiths on Earth. When each begins to mature, the individual will find himself or herself turning his or her back on the organizational structure and human-made rules of the religious institutions, but not on the beautiful spiritual truths that make up the foundation of each religion. This cannot be stopped, for as the individual grows to become a thinking human being, the soul´s Light awakens within the person a deeper memory and truth. The individual begins to remember that spirituality is not the property of one faith, church or structure, but of the soul´s connection back to the eternal Father/Mother of the Universe.

3. Each individual will have a crisis to awken the soul. Without such an experience, the human ego and even the soul can get too complacent and caught up in the physical illusion of the third-dimensional plane. The crisis, however, causes emotional pain and forces the individual to go inward for answers, instead of keeping the person´s identity wrapped up in the maya that traps the five senses.

Two Groups

The celestial souls can be divided into two groups :

# Starseeds; and
# Star Helpers

The Starseeds, destined to awaken fully, are beginning to move into leadership positions that will help the world and humanity evolve spiritually. Some even comprise the membership of the 144,000 written about in the Book of Revelation. All precede the return of the Most Radiant One. Their main purpose is to hold the Light for the world until humanity´s consciousness is raised to a point high enough to stabilize the world and embrace the darkness all around. These souls understand Oneness and know that all is and can be transmuted in the Light.

The Star Helpers, on the other hand, will never awaken fully. They are sent to assist the Starseeds to fulfill their missions by staying grounded in the physical world and clearing the way for the work that needs to be completed. They often assist in stressful situations by taking care of the many mundane details that need to be attended to in the physical world, thus freeing the Starseeds to complete their more spiritual work.

Anchoring Spiritual Truths

Ultimately, the celestial souls have been sent to Earth to anchor spiritual truths into every phase of our lives -- education, family living, business, government, medicine, religion etc. They are not here to start another new religion. Heaven forbid!! There are too many of those already. They are here to live the spiritual truths and bring abundance, peace, and prosperity to Earth. They will accomplish this through mastery of Universal Laws, the same laws that they all have learned and taught in the mystery schools through thousands of years of incarnations. They are here to be the way-showers for humanity and to assist people out of their bondage.

Part Three follows....

IMMORTAL SOUL OR PSEUDO-SOUL -- PART ONE

 
Man has falsely identified himself with the pseudo-soul or ego. When he transfers his sense of identity to his true being, the immortal Soul, he discovers that all pain is unreal. He no longer can even imagine the state of suffering. (Paramahansa Yogananda) 

   


Armagedden

The bible and the Dead Sea scrolls speak of a battle that will be fought in the "final days" between the sons and daughters of Light and the sons and daughters of darkness. This is called the Battle of Armageddon. The vision from thousands of years ago reveals that a total of seven battles will be fought -- the first three battles being won by the sons of darkness and the next three by the sons of Light. The final battle -- the seventh -- will be won, after a tremendous struggle, by the sons of Light. With this victory, peace and prosperity will reign on Earth for one thousand years.

The Battle of Armageddon not only is here on Earth today, but also is alive and well on the etheric level. This battle is being fought in the etheric and on the third-dimensional plane by forces working through humanity. These forces represent the fight for control between the lower self (ego) and the Higher Self, or will of God. Once individuals become aware of this, most grow so strong in the Light that they acquire the strength needed for victory in all circumstances. If a person is unaware of this etheric battle, however, he or she can be likened to a puppet manipulated in an arena by the forces of darkness.

Children Of The Light 

 The Children of the Light have returned to Earth and are gearing up for the final battle. Remember the first three have already been won by the sons and daughters of darkness. Observe the state of world affairs. Look at the crime, greed, wars, starvation, drugs, hopelessness and desperation that have already overcome so many. Some individuals are even fearful of leaving their homes, while others feel powerless in fighting for their basic human rights.

Some say we already have lost one generation of children because of our own inaction and the inaction of governments and social systems. If we lose another, it may be nearly impossible to recover within the time that we have left. There is a sense of spiraling downwards -- economically, spiritually, physically and socially. In short, we have reached the abyss, the deepest moment of humanity´s despair. Can you see this??

A Battle For Souls

  The Ascended Master Kuthumi called the decade of the nineties the "darkest of times". He said that the Masters can see into our future, and that this period ultimately was the testing time for all souls on Earth, forcing them to choose the Light or the darkness. Ultimately, THIS BATTLE IS A BATTLE FOR OUR SOULS. It is the time for judgement, but not the time for others to do the judging. It is the time for US to choose. In the end, we are our own judges and juries by virtue of our actions, word, thoughts and emotions.

Who are these sons and daughters of Light who supposedly have come to Earth to fight the final battles? Are they already here? What do they look like? At first glance, all humans appear to look the same, The human form appears identical, with the exception of skin colour, gender, size etc. So, if everyone looks the same, where are these people?

To see them one must look with a vision beyond the sight of physical eyes. One must look with the Third Eye into the soul to see their aura emanating from within.

When one acquires this vision, it is easy to see these beings of Light, for there are one million of them walking among the masses. They are the reincarnated High Priests and Priestesses of the former Golden Ages, the reborn Saints, the Pharaohs, and the risen Atlantean Masters who have embodied once again to bring the Light and higher truths to the world. These beings have an unfaltering vision and know clearly that the Battle of Armageddon is not lost, but already won in the etheric. Atlantis HAS risen, as the "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce predicted so many decades ago. It has risen through the souls of these Masters who have come to hold the Light for the world.

By Their Fruits

  These souls have been sent to Earth by the Order of Melchizedek to bring in the power of the Christos (Universal Light) energy and to teach this power to every soul in embodiment who wants to learn. "Ye shall know them by their fruits". They are the legions of Light Workers, representing all quadrants of the Universe, who have journeyed to Earth to bring in the new world. They are embodied in all countries, races, and religions, and they understand Oneness. In short, they represent the Christ consciousness and all that is contained in this Divine power. They represent the culmination of all truths ever brought to Earth by the many great Masters who have walked before us in countries all over the world.

These souls vibrate with a higher Light frequency because they already have passed the lessons and Tests of Initiation in earlier lives. Many may have been Christians who were thrown to the lions or suffered agonizing deaths through the ignorance of those in control at the time. All passed over to the other side, forgiving their trespassers. This accomplishment bought them their "tickets" to come here. Still others may have lived simple, uncomplicated lives and learned, like the Buddha, what enlightenment is. No matter what their paths, the point is that there is only one way -- the Light -- and they attained the Light.

Shutting Ourselves Off
 
By example and through teachings, these souls will once again instruct in the new mystery schools and remind everyone of the truths that we all have known, but momentarily have forgotten. Since the fall of Atlantis -- the fall of humanity -- consciousness has slipped so far into the masculine energy that we collectively have forgotten the power of the Light and the feminine principles. We have fallen asleep by shutting ourselves off from the Light. As a result, we find ourselves in a dark pool, struggling for a way to see. Through the Light of these high-level souls, this pathway will be found again.

Now lets look at Webster´s New World Dictionary´s definition of a soul : - An entity which is regarded as being the immortal or spiritual part of a person and, though having no physical or material reality, is credited with the functions of thinking and willing, and hence determining all behaviour. The moral or emotional nature of man.

Part two follows....

THE STRUGGLE FOR DETACHMENT

Such an interesting word, "detachment", and with so many connotations. Let´s take a look at the different meanings found in the dictionary... Unfasten, Remove, Impartiality, non Prejudice, Unaffected, non Judgemental.... but what about "Freedom"?

One of the most important things I noticed in my studies for spiritual development was that a person must be able to free oneself from all forms of worldly attachment. In other words to release oneself from the ties that bind us to the 3rd dimension.

These ties can be the attachment to material things; or emotional involvement in other people´s circumstances; or not preserving a balanced state of mind; or not remaining impartial toward criticism; or not controlling the desire to purchase unnecessary articles and so on.

I think the greatest enemy for attaining any level of detachment would have to be "desires". Our desires for this and that are such a handicap on the path to "enlightenment". Desire is a human frailty and an extremely valuable weapon for the ego (personality). As long as the ego succeeds in encouraging us to fulfil our desires, we all remain puppets of the lower self.

A Challenge
There is absolutely nothing wrong with owning and enjoying material goodies. The secret is that these "goodies" may not have any negative influence or hold over us or our life´s mission. In other words being blessed with riches should not in any way hinder our progression on the path of spiritual unfoldment. But, if you look around and think about it, just how many people with these material riches show any interest for the spiritual world?

Actually, one of the biggest tests in this world is being able to tackle and balance the circumstance of being materially wealthy and at the same time devote time and interest to the soul. It is, in truth, an enormous challenge. This is because the peronality (ego) of the person is so involved and influenced by its material welfare - no matter what - that life becomes almost a stress factor.

Possible Bitterness
On the other side of the coin, we have people that are born into extremely poor circumstances. Their lives can be very difficult to abide. But they are at least free from the burden of material attachment. Their challenge mainly lies in acceptance of and working through their difficulties, without giving into feelings of envy and bitterness.

Without often realizing it, these people have an advantage over most, because they are right in the "opportunity zone" to look beyond this world with its material trappings, on to a higher meaning and purpose with life. They are not so self indulging as there is hardly time or "supplies" for that.

The Mind´s Influence
Now the mind is a bundle of desires. This is because the Mental Body, which is one of the lower bodies in which the soul functions, is, together with the Emotional Body, closest to the personality and thereby very much under the influence of the ego. As you may possibly know, the ego is never, and I mean NEVER satisfied. Therefore it is constantly on the lookout for something new to purchase or possess or even control.

I believe it is extremely important for us to be watchful and aware of just how much the little ego "plays" with us. It would seem we become like puppets or toys for its immense and insatiable appetite for desiring things. So the work ahead of us is to remove the "threads" of desire, one by one if necessary, and thereby controlling our desires, we will automatically become the master over our various attachments, having begun to realize just how unnecessary most of them are.

Personal Attachments
Moving along now to another aspect of attachment which has to do with our feelings for people, places and events. This is both a touchy and sensitive aspect regarding attachment because it deals with our personal feelings.

Events that happen in our lives, whether happy or sorrowful, should always be received and treated with the same state of balance or calm. To actually understand this, again I must emphasize the importance of identifying oneself with the soul. Should one not agree or be able to accept this necessity, then there will be absolutely no understanding or appreciation for the lesson. This is because everything that happens in our lives, in one way or another, is a lesson to be learned. A lesson to develop and expand our souls evolution. And that´s the truth of it.

Emotional Pain
The hardest lesson to learn regarding detachment is the recognition and acceptance of the possible "why" such a traumatic event occurred in ones life. To be able to hold ones focus and try to "see" the bigger picture surrounding the circumstance. Because there are no accidents and there are no coincidences happening in our world, inspite of what each of us might think.

Emotional pain is one of our greatest teachers. This suffering helps bring us back to "square one" from where we have allowed ourselves to sidetrack during the daily humdrum of life. Back from the forgetting about what our purpose in life actually is. Surely we have all heard the expression "no pain, no gain". What I have talked about here is certainly worth reflecting upon. By doing so will be of great assistance to many.

Letting Go
Relationships are also worth considering here. We must respect each person´s individuality. Although it is a wonderful thing to love another being, it is at the same time wrong to become unduly attached. Whether one wants to believe it or not, strong attachment to another is fundamentally selfish and has always an ego motive involved, when looking deeper into the emotion. Be it family, friends or lovers, the teaching still applies. Love unconditionally. True love gives freedom and joy to both parties.

So, whilst you are giving sympathy and kindness and understanding to fellow beings that are suffering, do not allow your emotions to drag you down or sweep you along like a piece of straw on the wind. Always contain the inner balance. Be helpful by all means, but remain detached and harmonious not allowing events to disturb your inner peace. This is the secret to discovering and mastering the quality of "Detachment"!

THE POWER AND JOY OF FORGIVENESS - PART ONE

"Inner peace can be reached only when we pratice forgiveness. Forgiveness is the letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions. Love is letting go of Fear." Gerald G. Jampolsky.  

 

 

 

The Key 

 Forgiveness is "the key" to a transformation in your life. It will bring you relief, joy and above all the gift of freedom. No more strings attached! So to evolve to higher levels of life, we must first master a forgiving state of mind and heart. Now the soul is trapped within the body which is primarily controlled by the little ego personality. This is why and how the mind and emotions are manipulated, like puppets. The dilemma being that the weakest of the lower bodies composing the human form are the mental and the emotional bodies. It is here our little egos rule supreme, as these two "Lower Bodies" are the ones closet to the physical. This little ego is very clever and skilled, it understands all our weaknesses and strengths, and is determined to win the battle for control, over the guidance of our Higher Selves.

 Achieving The Goal 

 The goal we, as individuals, should strive to achieve - and that is the victory we all see within the mind´s eye - is the soul merging with the Higher Self. Not achieving this victory is THE ONLY THING that keeps us all in the throws and feeling of "seperation", a seperation from God. Not achieving this state causes us pain and delays the harmony and peace we all long for within. Perhaps now you can begin to understand that the ego (which is the individual personified) is the "shield" between the soul and the Higher Self. This ego works to rule the lower kingdom within humanity because each individual IS that kingdom. So once this fact is understood, the question now to ask oneself is : Whom do I serve : God or man? Whom do I trust : God of mammon?

 Choosing Freedom 

If we wish to free the lower self from pain, suffering and anguish, then there is only one choice to make, and this choice is the ONLY way to accomplish the goal. Each soul must choose "freedom" for the process to begin. But, as always, the choice is our own. Just remember that "forgiveness" is the key to purifying the soul, and this state of mind rests at the heart of one´s transformation. For the most part the teachings that should begin humanity´s enlightenment have fallen on deaf ears. It is also obvious today that the words from these wise teachings are analyzed mainly through the mind. This, dear friends, is not enough to experience fully the FREEDOM that is offered through the teachings, because one must also experience and understand the teachings with the heart. Analyzing and dissecting with the mind only, is insufficient. So let us continue to look at some of these teachings.

 Higher And Lower Energies 

The God Force is one pulsating field of energy. This energy field constitutes the life support system for individuals in embodiment and the connecting point to this "power" is through the Higher Self. Now anything vibrating less than the God Force, while still a part of the force, is considered to be of a lower vibration - or somewhat contaminated. The important thing here to remember is, that in order to connect with the power contained within the Higher Self, all lower forms of energy, all negative blockages must be cleared and raised into the collective frequency of this God Force. Emotions like hate, envy, jealousy, anger, remorse, suspicion, and even mild dislike all vibrate at lower frequencies. So any of these feelings serves to "contaminate" individuals, keeping us from realizing our own full potential and power.

 The Ego´s Choice 

Remembering that forces of both darkness and Light will constantly try to influence the little ego, it is then up to this ego, which controls the darker side of humanity, to make choices as to what to do with every experience encountered. The difference will always be that the Higher Self will provide higher guidance, but this requires more self discipline and strength to follow. That is why it is so much easier to hate, feel righteous, and above all "win" than to feel humbled in any way. It would seem that this little ego chooses the path of least resistance. It simply prefers to hang onto a justification for why we should continue to habour the lower feelings of resentment. Afterall, it is the perfect opportuity to stay in command and limit our soul awareness and development.

 Taking Control 

When we choose not to hold onto lower feelings any longer and begin to rise above them, the vibrational frequency of the soul is raised. And this always causes a shift in consciousness. Choosing to let go of one´s past habits and patterns always begins in the mind. So, the path to freedom is a CHOICE. Freedom begins the moment we choose to control the mental and emotional bodies and follow a higher path, rather than follow the path the little ego chooses. Once this choice is made to finally control the mental and emotional bodies (rather than they control us), a new world of hope, freedom and joy begins to manifest as a "reunion" with one´s Higher Self and a higher form of guidance begins. 

Ego Must Die 

The ego uses the mind and emotions, coupled with ingrained habits and traditions, to keep people from letting go of lower beliefs, attitudes and feelings. And the ego frequently wins because the control mechanism is so often fear or pride or both. Therefore, the declaration of victory for eternal life and entry into the Fifth Dimension is..... "EGO IS DEAD"! The important thing to bear in mind is... Forgiveness is nothing more and nothing less than LETTING GO! 

Part two follows...

READY TO RUMBLE - PART TWO

Shakespeare Knew
I think it is a good idea to realize just what Shakespeare was talking about when he wrote "all the world is but a stage, and we, the people, are just the actors playing out our parts on this stage". Now this is definitely worth dwelling on. A lot of us think that this life on Earth is the real thing, the reality. But it is not. Life on Earth is a school for our souls and this is why I like to emphasize to everyone to accept oneself as a SOUL with a body and NOT the body which has a soul.

It is also imperative to accept the knowledge of reincarnation. For without knowing and accepting reincarnation, nothing about peoples lifestyles and conditions on this planet makes any sense. We all have to try and to experience all kinds of lifestyles so as to evolve. Without experiencing the so called "best" or "worst" conditions of life, what would we learn? To know the difference between "joy" and "sadness" one has to experience both situations to differentiate. The same applies with "suffering" and "peace". That´s why this world is known as "the duality experience". And this is how the soul of each of us grows and expands. Again, we have the free choice of creating good karma or bad karma and both will effect our future lives.

Individual Ego or Not
I mentioned earlier about our individual egos. Actually I don´t believe we have individual egos. Personalities yes, egos no. We are blessed with an individual awareness and consciousness but we are still connected to the ONE who is the Supreme Ego. It is how we express and use our awareness or conscience that gives us the feeling of individuality. One could say that the Creator or God is expressing and experiencing Itself individually through each one of us. The secret here is to become aware of the fact and surrender and "merge" or "unite" oneself, ones so called "individuality" with the Supreme One or Being or Consciousness or Universal Mind or whatever you like to call IT.

You know the symbolic meaning of the Crucifixion is the surrendering of one's individuality to the Higher Self or Supreme Ego. In fact all of the important events in the life of Jesus have a symbolic meaning, from his birth to his death and beyond. Pity the Churches have misunderstood so much or perhaps deliberately messed it all up for his followers. Let's just run through a few of these interesting events from his life...

1) The birth of Christ symbolises the "birth" or "awakening" of the Christ awareness in the human heart and consciousness.

2) The crucifixion symbolises the total surrender of one's lower self (personality) to the Higher Self and awareness

3) The resurrection symbolises the raising of the human consciousness to the Christ consciousness or level of universal consciousness.

4) The ascension symbolises the soul´s reuniting with Spirit or the Divine Aspect.

These are just basic explanations of the major events and their underlying meaning. Naturally all the good works that Jesus achieved and performed during his mission were also "wayshowers" for all of humanity.

I AM The Way
It is written in the bible that Jesus said... "I AM the way", he also said "Nobody reaches the Father but through me". These are two very interesting and important comments. The first speaks very much for itself but there is a deeper meaning. Note the words "I AM". The tone is very similar to A-U-M which is the universal sound that bears the creative energy. Now it should be easier to realize and understand that the "I AM" is your very self, well let's say your Higher Self - the divine in you. Remember we talked about the One without a second? All that exists is God. Nothing exists outside of God. And just how often do you yourself use the expression "I am this..." or "I am that..." hmmmm? All is an expression of God!

The second comment "nobody reaches the Father except through me" explains how ones awareness has to expand to the higher levels of consciousness, shall we say the level of Christ Consciousness, before ones soul can return to the Divine. The word "Father" in its true sense means "Spirit" (masculine aspect of God). Whereas the feminine aspect is "Mother" or "Mater" or the material world.

Changing Lanes
It has been or is my intention to get some of these "truths" out to as many of my human family as possible. To shake ones chains, to rock ones boat, to shout "Awaken" and remind one and all that the time is NOW to "change lanes", "raise your heads", "quicken your awareness" and "BLAZE YOUR LIGHT!" Remember the Light always shines through Truth, Love, Joy, Peace, Awareness, Compassion, Sacrifice, Helping Hands, Sharing.

So, my Beloveds, RUMBLE NOW for the Light of God. Help bring our beloved Mother Earth back to her rightful place in our Universe, as she moves forward into the fifth dimension.
