For many the soul and its origins has been a mystery since ancient times.
So what exactly is the soul? Where does it originate from? And what is the relationship with consciousness?
To help answer these questions we searched the internet and curated some interesting content and information that helps to shine some light on this most perplexing topic…
Soul Origin, Life Purpose & Volunteer Incarnations
According to secret teachings, the universe was not created out of matter, but existed before material creation, in spirit form [The Universal or Super consciousness]. At some point, this super consciousness wished to express itself. It started expressing as a result of its innermost stimuli. So creation began – light, heat, gravity, energy … leading to stars, galaxies, everything we know in nature, etc.Thought proceeded creation.
There was a wish to make companions for this consciousness. These companions were individual points of consciousness. They had to have free will, otherwise they would only be servants. At first, these new creations were content but became more concerned with their own powers and less worried about being in harmony with the creator. Eventually the loss of contact with the source of life leads to darkness and to evil.
The creator knew that this would happen and made an inviolable law that experiencing the consequences of doing so, always followed the exercise of free will. This is karma. In creating these companions, there was a great diversity. Each companion had spirit, mind and soul. Spirit is the life force, mind is the power by which it can be used and from this exercise comes the soul.
There are many realms to life. One is the third dimension, in which we live. Only a few of the companions entered the third dimension, others into the other realms. When the first wave of virgin souls entered the earth they identified more with their form than their consciousness.
By moving into this realm, they were affected by death, even though their spirit is eternal. One result of entering the physical dimension was the splitting of the consciousness into three levels. The first is the physical conscious mind with physical life is experienced. The second is the subconscious and the third part of consciousness is called the collective mind, where communication can be had with the supreme consciousness.
As you move into the first physical conscious mind, it is more difficult to perceive the infinite. The first waves of souls entering this dimension entered many bodies with unfortunate consequences, the second wave into the perfected human body. The first wave was not evil but it was a terrible error. There was no rebellion in heaven, until after the fall of man.
After the first wave, there was an almost instantaneous loss of awareness of the universal consciousness. Eventually these creatures became the victims of evil. They became a scapegoat for the real evil, which is the devil, the selfishness living inside each person, who has a separate consciousness from the oneness of the creator.
The first wave occurred during the Lemurian civilization and the early Atlantean civilization.
Edgar Cayce On Human Origins
Edgar Cayce was an American called the Sleeping Prophet. He had a remarkable life, which included much healing and many prophecies. From his youth, Cayce was able to induce trances, which enabled him to have out of body experiences, travel to other realms and receive information on nearly everything, which is preserved and called his readings.
Cayce’s reading on soul origins states that in the beginning there was a sea of spirit. This sea filled everything. It was at rest, but sprang into action and became God. God desired companionship and built life forms. The process by which this occurred can be compared to the composition of music. Spirit has a mind and this produced the soul. An individual’s spirit existed before the individual’s soul was created. It is the spirit that retains knowledge of its identity with God. The soul can experience the mind’s activities separated away from God.
An individual has a free will; otherwise the individual would be part of God. An individual has a soul created by his/her mind from their spirits. There is a divine plan for the soul, which is unlimited in either its scope or its duration and may be seen as evolutionary. Its final evolution occurs when its well is no different from that of God. Then and only then will the soul be returns to its divine source. When a soul makes this return, it loses its ego, which is the desire to do different to what God wants. When the return is made the ego is given up quite freely.
Having free will, some souls become fixated on their own activities. The link with the divine was steadily weakened, leading to the fall of Adam and Eve and the rebellion in heaven of the Angels. There are many solar systems and these were very tempting to souls. Some entered into our solar system, which has nine dimensions and some came to the third dimension, where life is, as we know it. When the souls came to earth they found certain ancient ape-men here who were ideal to enter and so experience life on earth. By hovering over these creatures, they were transformed into the humans we are today-Homo sapiens.
Homo sapiens appeared in five different places on earth, as five different races. These first humans were what the Bible means when it refers to Adam. Each human being will have a number of reincarnations, some in other dimensions, until the ego is gone.
This post shows that Cayce had revealed to him the message that Christ was victorious over the death of the human body, in order to return to God and so reverse negative karma-an eye for an eye. By doing this, a template for humanity was created.
At the present, there is great darkness, with great skepticism of the truth. However, the acquisition of knowledge will soon destroy this skepticism. People are the sum of what they have done in the past, including past incarnations, Karma ordains that what is done in life must be corrected in life, if not in the current life then in a future incarnation.
Karma demands certain things and makes some things more probable for people than other things, however because of free will it is possible for someone to completely go against what the law of Karma demands.
Some infants die very soon after birth. This is to teach the parents important spiritual lessons. Similar exclamations can be found for miscarriages. When the cycle of reincarnation is complete, there is unity of the soul with its spirit and hence with God.
The Grand Scheme Of Things: Setting Up The Game
This fascinating article by David Wilcock, starts at what we humans would call the beginning. Initially, there was infinity, which was undifferentiated. The first step in creation was Infinity becoming aware. From infinity came the creator, who created outer space then individualized an infinity of portions of itself. This creation was more experiencing then creating. The creator focused Infinity into energy. Love is a very high type of energy. Intelligent energy has a rhythm, which is a mystery.
There are three distortions of intelligent infinity. The first distortion is free will; the second distortion is love. Love is the focus of free will. The third distortion is light, it and all energy are,“caused by the action of free will upon love. The nature of all energy is light, including the inner light, which is the guiding star of the self. This is the true nature of all entities.”
In the creation, an infinity of individual entities was created, as the creator is infinite. Creation has the potential of an infinity of dimensions. Each Galaxy was created by an individualized portion of God, called the co-creator. Each universe has its own natural laws. First density entities appeared on earth then second density entities. These strove toward the third density, which is the density of self-awareness or self consciousness. Here is an important quote from the article explaining this ,”The co-creator, individualizing the galaxy, created energy patterns which focused in many centers of conscious awareness of intelligent infinity.
The progression is from the galaxy spiraling energy to the solar spiraling energy to the planetary spiraling energy to the spiraling energy which started the 1st density of awareness in planetary entities. ” The progression through densities occurred on all galaxies with only small variations. The Law Of One is truly universal in creating a progression towards the eighth density in all galaxies.
The veil of forgetfulness makes you forget your true identity and purpose. This is a essential so that free will might operate on the new consciousness. Ra sees the possibility of communication between the conscious and subconscious as more mystery-filled than something else. Ra does not give information that would violate the law of confusion.
The article finishes with a number of discussions, such as the planets Maldek, people who can bend spoons and even Jesus.
Source Of The Soul
This short article starts with the sentence,” social reality is an illusion“. Social reality is designed to blind us to our true purpose. By playing on our emotions, social reality causes us to be inventions of mind and body, devoid of heart and soul. Our survival demands only shallow experience and perception. As the article says, our desire to survive supersedes our ability to thrive.
Our mind is a forest, in which we are frequently lost. We construct a shield against the world, with our education and our religion. The agenda of our mind constantly overpowers the potential of our heart. The heart is the key to multidimensionality. It interacts with the universe and is the epicenter of our creativity.
When we are open to our hearts, we become extraordinary. The purpose of our soul is to make what we imagine possible. If we are an expression of our soul then we do extraordinary things when we are creative. our soul connects us to the universe and is the means by which we can fulfill our destiny. What we experience is caused by our choices. We fulfill our purpose by relating with all that is and ever will be. The article concludes with these inspiring sentences,” The energy of our consciousness connects us with our spirit. Intuition is the bridge that connects our creativity with our reality. It is the origin of our transformation. Our soul’s purpose is to intend our vision to become our possibility.“
The Veil Of Forgetfulness & The Way Of Confusion
According to RA, the Veil Of Forgetfulness, is where a person entering the life as a human being forgets his/her previous incarnations. It is possible during the incarnation for this veil to be pierced and communication opened with the Higher Self, which we all possess. The Higher Self knows what lessons are required to be learned during incarnations. The Higher Self knows the destination of incarnations and is itself of the sixth density. Remember that there are eight densities with the eighth being the beginning of the first density of the Next Creation.
