The superconscious may not be a level at all, but the soul itself.
For spiritual communication to come through the shock of mourning it is necessary to try to relax and clear your mind, at least for short periods.
The time of soul adjustment depends upon the circumstances of death, attachments of each soul to the memories of the life just ended, and level of advancement.
If a soul has been traumatized by unfinished business, usually the first entity it sees right after death is its guide. These highly developed spiritual teachers are prepared to take the initial brunt of a soul’s frustration following an untimely death.
Most of my subjects report the first person they see in the spirit world is their personal guide. However, after any life we can be met by a soulmate.
A curious phenomenon about the spirit world is that important people in our lives are always able to greet us, even though they may already be living another life in a new body.
When two spirits come so close to each other they are conjoined, my subjects say they can send private thoughts by touch which passes between them as “electrical sound impulses.”
The troubled spirit is an immature entity with unfinished business in a past life on Earth.
However, all souls are held accountable for their conduct in the bodies they occupy.
We will see in the next chapter how souls receive an initial review of their past life with guides before moving on to join their friends. But what happens to souls who have, through their bodies, caused extreme suffering to another?
For the “bad” soul there are ancient philosophical pronouncements denoting a separation from the God-Essence as a means of punishment after death.
has convinced me there is no residence of terrible suffering for souls, except on Earth. I am told all souls go to one spirit world after death where everyone is treated with patience and love.
I have also noticed that those beginner souls who are habitually associated with intensely negative human conduct in their first series of lives must endure individual spiritual isolation. Ultimately, they are placed together in their own group to intensify learning under close supervision. This is not punishment, but rather a kind of purgatory for the restructuring of self-awareness with these souls.
… had hurt a girl … terribly … and did not rejoin our group. There was extensive private study for him because he did so poorly while in that body.
negativity which is unmanageable … in many lives … can be readjusted.
Perpetrators of harm to others will do penance by setting themselves up as future
Souls who continue to display negative attitudes through their human hosts must overcome these difficulties by continually making an effort to change. From what I have seen, no negative karma remains attached to a soul who is willing to work during their many lives on this planet.
When we choose a body and make a plan before coming back to Earth, there is an agreement with our advisors.
In reflection, meditation, or prayer, the memories of who we really are do filter down to us in selective thought each day.
We discussed options for restructuring occupational goals toward the helping professions and the possibilities of volunteer service work.
Our motivations are questioned and criticized, but not condemned in such a way as to make us suffer. As I explained in Chapter Four, this does not mean souls are exonerated for their acts which harmed others simply because they are sorry. Karmic payment will come in a future life.
I am told the most outstanding characteristic of the spirit world is a continuous feeling of a powerful mental force directing everything in uncanny harmony. People say this is a place of pure thought.
As I mentioned earlier, after souls arrive back into their soul groups, they are summoned to appear before a Council of Elders.
Group placement is determined by soul level.
Soul acquaintanceships between members of different cluster groups usually involve peripheral roles in life on Earth.
Members of the same cluster group are closely united for all eternity. These tightly-knit clusters are often composed of like-minded souls with common objectives which they continually work out with each other. Usually they choose lives together as relatives and close friends during their incarnations on Earth.
Although parents are a child’s primary identification figures for both good and bad karmic effects, it is frequently our relations with spouses, brothers, sisters, and selected close friends over a whole lifetime that most influences personal growth.
A lack of self-discipline in my last life because this is what is on my mind.
One diversion I hear rather often is of souls forming a circle to more fully unify and project their thought energy. Always, a connection with a higher power is reported here.
I think what we have to keep in mind is that people tend to structure their frame of reference during a trance state with what their conscious mind sees and has experienced on Earth.
In human form, apparently we have an ionized energy field flowing out and around our physical bodies connected by a network of vital power points called chakras.
Some aspects of quantum physics suggest the universe is made up of vibrational waves which influence masses of physical objects by an interaction of different frequencies.
Souls in a high state of advancement are often found in humble circumstances on Earth. By the same token, people in the upper strata of influence in human society are by no means in a blissful state of soul maturity. Often, just the reverse is true.
Rates of learning vary among peer group members. Certain souls will advance faster than others in a cluster group, although these students may not be equally competent and effective in all areas of their curricula.
Around the intermediate level of learning, souls demonstrating special talents (healing, teaching, creating, etc.) are permitted to participate in specialty groups for more advanced work while still remaining with their cluster group.
People who meditate a great deal are naturally more familiar with these visions than someone who has never called upon his or her guide.
Ideas we claim as our own may be generated by a concerned guide. Guides also comfort us during the trying periods in our lives, especially when we are children in need of solace.
I think human beings have always needed anthropomorphic figures below a supreme God to portray the spiritual forces around them. When people pray or meditate, they want to reach out to an entity with whom they are acquainted for inspiration.
notice that, unlike people walking around in a conscious state, subjects in trance do not blame God for their misfortunes in life.
It seems these empathetic guides are graded on how well they do in their assignments to affect positive change. All guides have compassion for their students, but teaching approaches vary.
They must be compassionate without being too easy on you. They aren’t judgmental. You don’t have to do things their way. They don’t restrain by imposing their values on you.
That’s why—because they never give up on you.
He did not come through as her spouse, and never has, in any of her past lives.
Certainly, soulmates take other roles besides spouses, but an incarnating guide does not normally take a role which might transgress between two soulmates working on their lives together.
The large number of Americans who report having such guides lends support to my belief that souls are attracted to geographical settings they have known during earlier incarnations.
Adversity is allowed to build to the absolute limits of my friend’s ability to cope before solutions suddenly begin to unfold.
Guides only want the best for us and sometimes this means they must watch us endure much pain to reach certain objectives.
People want to know if their guides always come whenever they call for help. Guides are not consistent in the manner in which they choose to assist us, because they carefully evaluate how badly they are needed.
During our lives, especially in periods of great stress, most people feel the presence of someone watching out for them. We may not be able to describe this power, but it is there nonetheless.
with each rung being part of the whole. It is essential for people to have faith that a prayer for help will be answered by their own higher power.
