I wanted to write some thoughts about what is the Soul . ( if you get knocked off a horse get right back on again )
When I was a young girl at school, on the playground some friends and I (in what was back then year one of senior school…its all changed now)..were playing a game where you would bend down and touch your toes and while you were bent over you would hyperventilate yourself by breathing deeply at least 20 or 30 times…. And then somebody comes behind you and pulls up on your stomach as hard as they can.. ( don’t ask me why we were doing this but hey I was young and silly!! )….. When that happened to me I suddenly found myself in the living room of my house, floating in the middle of the living room as a point of observational awareness. I didn’t have a body, I perceived everything around me in my living room, for some reason I instantly found myself there because I believe it was a safe place that I thought, that was my home. I heard my mother in the kitchen doing the dishes, I saw the grand father clock, the wood burning stove…. And for just a few seconds I was a focal point of observation in a surrounding that I had felt comfortable with. I didn’t have arms or legs, a face, hands, feet…. I was just there.
This happens to many people who are embodied in what I call Malkuth, the physical world, and they experience it as maybe, as what they call remote view or a premonition of the past, or a premonition of the future.
Another time this happened to me was when I was about 14yrs old. I was laying in bed and I began drifting asleep and I wasn’t quite asleep yet, and suddenly I was in the dining room and I heard the phone ring. I saw my mother answer the phone, I was there and I knew that it was going to happen but it hadn’t happened yet. I was perceiving something that happened within my present moment, where I was embodied as that was the future, just a few minutes into the future. I remember that when I came back into my body and into the awareness of my body, I laid in bed and I was waiting for the phone to ring, and I was waiting for the person to call because I knew it was a friend. I didn’t even realise I was waiting for it, that I had actually shifted my awareness while I was in bed into the future.
The reason why I bring this up is because there are many souls embodied in physicality , what I call Malkuth where we see ourselves now. If you are reading this now on your pc then you are embodied within Malkuth as I am.. And that is not the true nature of your soul. The true nature of your soul is a focal point of awareness within the universe , and the reason why you are able to shift yourself as this focal point, as this substance less , bodyless, focal point of awareness to another part of time and space is because in reality you are one with all that is around you and if you think when you experience remote viewing , or a premonition or an awareness of something that has happened in the past that people call ESP…When you have those moments, If you stop and think about the fact that you don’t perceive yourself as being embodied but that you are able to shift your awareness there, also be able to shift that focal point of awareness to anything that you direct your thoughts towards, but yet you are substance less in nature, just as in reality everything around you is substance less in nature.
Last night I had a dream and in my dream I had a body, the body that I perceived myself as….. its not the physical body that I inhabit in my wakeing hours when I am embodied here as you are in malkuth, but I did have a body I created it for myself as a soul-less disembodied beyond the embodiment of malkuth. Many people who go into higher planes or states or the freedom of which the soul truly should reside, beyond its physical body… If they choose to have a body they suddenly can shape the light around the focal point of awareness that they see their souls as and create for themselves arms and legs, hands, face and a body, and they look down and see their hands and they believe in the illusion of separation because now they see but that the light which they created and shaped and formed around the focal point is actually their Soul. They now see that as what they are…they see the hand which they have that they created out of their own mind thought, that surrounds the focal point of awareness that is in actuality substance less and what they are as a Soul. They see that hand as what they are, they see the feet as part of what they are, they see their embodiment as what they are. This is not what they are, this is what they created and the reason you are able to do this as a soul, which is again an observational focal point of awareness within time and space….The reason you are able to create an embodiment for yourself is because you can interact with all others around you, because all that is around you in the absolute reality is you as well.
When you are embodied you can move your fingers, your thoughts that originate from the focal point of your awareness of your soul can move your fingers and the reason it can do this is because it is connected to it. When you are embodied in Malkuth you may see yourself as the focal point of awareness of your eyes and you may think that is where you are, but in reality your true self has no boundaries and is able to shape the light around it to create an embodiment for itself to give it a sense of, a sense of….something that you are that is actually a blind….. Actually blindfolds of actuality that which you are substance with along with everything around you. You can use your thoughts to move these sections of your body when you are in Malkuth because you are connected to them.
You were born here as a focal point of awareness that has no size or shape and that focal point of awareness was begat by another soul, who in actuality is the same thing, and you have an embodiment that you are tied to, physically, first as an embryo, then as a new born baby, then a baby that grows into a child, then an adult and all the time you see this embodiment as what you are…. But that is not what you are…Beyond this life is the same except for you are able to perceive how your thoughts direct and create and act upon that which is around you. You are able to shape things around you, using your thoughts, when you are disembodied and you are aware of doing this. In actuality you can do this while you are embodied in malkuth too but you are not aware of it because the senses of your body are physical and are only aware of that which vibrates within the same spectrum of light which we call physicality but when you release from this you are able to also use your thoughts create a body for yourself , an expression of which you desire to express, that focal point of observational awareness that is really your soul. You are able to use your thoughts to create things.
For example if you desire to create a physical expression of your self you can think about it and the light goes round that focal point of observation that is actually who you are and those substances at one with the light around it is able to use its thoughts , act, to act for itself and create a body for itself. You can then see yourself with an end, use the thoughts that you have as that focal point of observation that now sees itself as embodied in some form. You can think of an apple, a flower or an object and shape the light that is around you into what you want to see…its easy with practise, just like I did in my dream. Usually in dreams you do it unconsciously , you create other people and you create landscapes that are endless within your dreams. All which your creating , and your doing it in your dream on an unconscious level, and that is the nature of a dream, substance less in nature. If you were able to step outside of your dream and look at it from the perception of one who is outside of it, you would see that your dream has no substance, but yet you are creating it unconsciously with the belief that you hold about yourself and about reality. You do this because you are in actuality the essence of the dream itself and the thing is that as this essence you can only create that which you believe is real… If you come to believe things are real then in your dreams you will unconsciously create the same reality for yourself.
When you are born into Malkuth you see things around you from the moment your souls first conceived and then bought into the embodiment of where you are now. You see trees, you see buildings, you see that you walk, that you talk, you see that you have an embodiment of a specific form or shape, a specific physical expression and you believe that this is the reality. So then when you drift asleep and the true essence of what you are is consciousness itself, which does not sleep, that is your soul…begins to form and create based upon the beliefs that you held by itself in the waking hours and that’s the nature of a dream and also the nature of the evolution of consciousness itself.
Consciousness can only evolve in time and space based upon what it believes it has become in the past that all is belief and substance less in its truest nature… all of it is but a perception not an absolute, because the only absolute is that there is the essence of ‘all that is’ that is within no time and space and it doesn’t know what it means to exist but knows it eternally exists. It creates and then believes, based upon its creations…that, that is what it is and then based upon those beliefs , it holds those creations as absolute that it perceives around it, but they are not absolute. there are no absolutes except for the one essence that is timeless, eternal, without beginning, without end…The ‘I am that I am’ that’s within all things and that’s the only absolute. It does not know what it means to exist so it dreams endlessly through you and I, through all of the universe.
You touch that when you drift to sleep in Malkuth , in your embodiment you touch that essence of what you are, and how you touch it is the fact that it continues to dream, because it cannot die. Yet the focal point of awareness you see as your soul which is a microcosm of this essence, continues to do what the macrocosm of this essence does continuously without. Always be aware of it and that is dreaming.
The reason we dream is because the microcosm of your soul that is that observational point of awareness and nothing more and nothing less….has come to see itself as having a body, having a reality around it and when your physical body sleeps that microcosm of your soul that is truly who you are, that is a reflection of the ‘all that is’ , the macrocosm, continues to do the innate thing that it does, it does not die, it does not sleep, so it continues to dream except that your dream is only based upon that which you have conceived to be a reality and to be absolute …. None of which is absolute.
Beyond this physical body of malkuth you are able to return to that primal focal point of observational awareness within time and space that is the soul within ‘ all that is’ . You will see that you are able to shift your awareness to different times within the universe and find yourself within different moments of the present yet you are not embodied there, but you are there , and that you that is there, that observational point of awareness, is the soul. If you choose as that observational point of awareness you can shape the light around you and create a physical embodiment or an expression of some sort of shape around that point of awareness…but if you hold onto that for long enough you will begin to believe that is what you are.
Anyway these are just thoughts about the nature of the soul I had today .
The true nature of the soul is that you are an observational focal point of awareness within one that is all around you, and you are one with all you touch and see.
I have been reading a book called ‘the kybalion’ which is a book of hermetic teachings written by three people that call themselves ‘the three initiates’ back in the early 19 hundreds and one of the fundamental teachings of Hermetism is that everything in ultimate reality is a dream. That doesn’t mean that there are no absolutes that you perceive to be around you.
Last night in my dream I had experienced gravity for instance, the law of gravity, because that is something I can consider through my own experience of self awareness to be an absolute, so I experienced the law of gravity in my dream, I experienced time and space, relativity, but all of these things were absolutes only because I believed them to be and that is something that has come about because that’s been my only basis of experience so I perceive these things to be absolute…but they are not absolute, they are only absolutes because I believe them to be.
And these beliefs that I hold as absolutes manifest themselves within my dreams. If you look at your dreams you will see that everything that you create around you and through your own vehicle of expression within your dream is based upon the beliefs that you hold as reality itself…so you perceive these to be absolutes. That is the nature of evolution of consciousness within time and space. You form a belief based upon what you perceive to be an absolute and it becomes absolute.
When a soul becomes self aware within time and space it perceives that which it sees around it and perceives it to have an absolute nature. It perceives that it has laws and parameters and because it perceives this it is reflected as an absolute in the relative creation of a dream which we find ourselves in amidst time and space.
But the law of the dream and creating the dream is ‘as you believe so shall it be’ this is also experienced in what people call lucid dreams… I have had several of them in my life where I became aware that I was dreaming and in a lucid dream you become aware that you are dreaming so that you are able to control what happens in your dream and this happened to me once several years ago where I became aware that I was dreaming, at first I just allowed the dream to unfold because I was curious about what would happen, but all of it was a reflection of a subconscious belief that I held that I was projecting outwards and as soon as I began to control that I began to be able to see people that I desired to see in my dream, I could fly, I could do what ever I wanted to do within the dream based upon what I believed I could do in the dream. This is the nature of reality, there are no absolutes, everything is a perception, but we take absolutes to be absolute because they are reflections of beliefs that we hold, that they are absolute. Gravity is an absolute, light travels at a specific speed , that is an absolute, these are absolute beliefs and so that is what is given to us as our absolute reality that we perceive within the dream that we are experiencing in this life and beyond.
Everything is a dream , substance less in nature just like my dream last night was substance less in nature. Everything within the dream has perceived absolutes based upon your beliefs of what is absolute. And through the evolution of consciousness within time and space those beliefs are what we hold to be absolute evolve, until finally they are no longer beliefs but we hold them to be absolutes and that is what we perceive in our environment. All of what started out as a belief or a perception ….and this is a never ending process of evolution… of ‘ I am that I am’ within the dream of time and space.
There is one more absolute I have come to realise too, that I have not yet been able to touch but I know I will be able to do in eons to come beyond this life. If you hold to the truth that you can misrepresent what is within time and space, the true nature of time and space in reality will misrepresent itself to you because you have a belief that you are able to misrepresent it…and it in reality is you ……so what happens is this unconscious belief that you hold by deceiving and lying or by misrepresenting what happens within time and space…time and space that surrounds you which is another extension of who you are misrepresents its true nature to you as well. It is always ‘as you believe so shall it be’. You believe something to be the point that it becomes an absolute, and then you no longer believe it and your beliefs keep shaping the absolute nature of what you perceive to surround yourself within the dream of the ‘ all that is’ which is in reality no time, no space, substance less in nature.
This is the truth for me and I give this in love. I have realised I do not need acceptance from anyone for what I am here to do and to teach in love, light and peace. I am just me doing my best not trying to be anything more than who I am.
