Doing the Work of Your Soul

Yes, I have a question. I’m reading a book now which [inaudible] and there are several things I’d like to ask you about. One of the basic things in the book that they talk about is “true knowledge,” the only way to know things, to know anything, is through our feelings, through our emotions, and not really through the intellect. And, I guess everybody’s had the experience with thinking they know something intellectually in reading it, and then have someone come along and push their button, and, zap, in that one instant they find out what they really believe as being how they react through their emotions. Could you comment on that, as far as knowing true knowledge through your feelings?

Latwii

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my brother. We shall attempt a comment, although it is somewhat difficult to do so without the definition of certain terms, for various authors and authorities will choose terms which seem different in describing processes which are the same. We shall in our description take that which is called by this source “true knowledge” and define it as that which is true for a certain entity during a certain incarnation and not necessarily that which is ageless and timeless and that which any entity may refer to as a fundamental principle of the evolutionary process.

That which is true for an entity is that which reflects the preincarnative choices for learning and serving in as pure a manner as possible.

It is, in our humble opinion, generally correct that an entity may more clearly know what is true for it in its pattern of learning through that complex of the emotions, for this biasing or coloration of experience that is called emotions is that which is a direct line, shall we say, to the preincarnative choices, for the unconscious mind, preincarnatively programmed, will color a situation in such and such a fashion according to the preincarnative choice, and this coloration then becomes perceivable to the entity through that faculty of the emotions. It is in this way that the entity becomes aware of what is true for it at a certain moment, of what it truly believes or feels aside from that which it consciously or intellectually may wish to believe or may ascribe to.

Thus, the emotions are the barometer, or shall we say the temperature gauge for an entity, in that the emotions show to the entity the degree of feeling or bias that the entity has toward any thought, word or action, and by becoming aware of this biasing within the emotional self, shall we say, the entity then may take this biasing, this emotional coloration, and work with it in a fashion that attempts to balance the emotional charge so that the final product is that quality known as love or acceptance. Thus, the emotions point to that which is in need of balance and which when worked with in an efficient manner may then yield a lack of emotion, a lack of coloration, and may finally yield that quality known as love.

It may be of passing interest to consider viewing one’s spontaneous emotional reactions as direct indicators of preincarnative intentions. For those who have dedicated themselves to working in partnership with their soul stream, this could be a direct line of sympathetic vibration.

One reason a soul creates these incarnations is to shape and refine its vibration by deepening its love for things which seem to 3D entities to be so difficult to love. Is it not an undiluted privilege to stand in direct alignment with your soul and help it grow?

I came to conclusion that there are two I’s, one I is “upper” and looking on another I. Self-awareness cannot exist if you mean one self. So the “lower” I is the emotional I, the “higher” I is who is “becoming aware of this biasing”. Maybe the latter is the higher self, don’t know.

The Confederation model, for what it may be worth to you, is that when you are born, you are given two selves. One is the physical body we all see in the silvered glass. It is physically, emotionally and socially active. It’s crowning element is the personality, which is derivative of the nervous system, and serves to make choices for the body (plus emotions & mind) which serve it best within the illusion.

In tandem with the little baby physical body, you are given a little baby spirit. This spirit slowly grows and learns about spiritual stuff (that which is of importance beyond the illusion) the same way the physical body learns about physical stuff. However, because it is unseen, in some cultures it receives very little care and feeding, and sometimes its development is quite delayed.

The above is all my condensing and paraphrasing. To get a cleaner version, you can go to the LLR search page and look up spirit and related terms.

Best wishes.

So Mirror, I suppose this baby spirit is just one smaller piece of the puzzle added to the rest of the larger puzzle which is the soul of the entity, right ?

In fact I had the sense throughout my life how biased I was in my colorized version of what life was.., even though it was repeated to me it was colorized, and should be change to more unbiased, t stupidly obstinate that I was, I did enjoy my bias, lol

From a different session, this passage covers some of the same territory, but in a broad sweeping overview, one which I find quite to the point.

Questioner

Q’uo, the famous 20th Century psychic, Edgar Cayce , once said that each soul, or a soul, incarnates into matter to learn great spiritual lessons and, thus, that living earthly lifetimes are initiations into becoming more attuned into the divine. Can you speak on this?

Q’uo

I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. Indeed, we find the one known as Edgar was quite well-informed by his ability to penetrate the Hall of Records and to discern from these records of the evolution of humanity upon Planet Earth. [He saw] that the incarnations available within the third-density illusion, beyond the veil of forgetting, were an opportunity not only within each incarnation to become transformed or initiated or to become more and more one with the Infinite Creator, but that each moment, each day, each observation by the seeker of truth had the ability to transform the entity in a manner similar to that of initiation. As the seeker of truth becomes more and more aware of the journey of the seeking of the One Infinite Creator within itself and within all of creation, it discovers that there is the chance to become that which it seeks in every moment of its existence if its point of view is broad enough, and travels down to the roots of its consciousness and to the heights of its beingness so that it is able to perceive in a manner which is enhanced and imbued with the love and the light of the One which it seeks with every fiber of its being, in every daily round of activities, so that all becomes the oneness for such a being, becomes the Christed experience for such a being. At some point, this type of desire to seek the one in all gains a kind of spiritual momentum and reveals to the mind, body and spirit complex, that it is, indeed, that which it seeks, and this realization, or illumination, then, becomes to be manifested more and more fully, so that illumination becomes communion, and communion becomes union with all that there is.

The text refers to “the seeker” doing these things, but one can also read this, I would say, in terms of one’s life becoming more spirit-centered as the spirit slowly becomes the prominent actor on the stage of life, and the personality dedicates itself to serving that process.

The spirit you experience as you in this lifetime is one portion of your soul stream among many others, yes.

My personal view is that enjoying your biases is a good thing because this helps you experience them more fully. The refinement process is about knowing these things deeply, then when you are ready, choosing to keep what you know to be most true while allowing the rest to fall away.

I think the only thing we truly know is the moral knowledge, all knowledge about the phenomenon and things are only seeming knowledge, or just knowledge of correlations.

To know is to be one with, to know the Self is to be one with the Self, to know Nature(not physical nature) is to be one with Nature.

What is moral knowledge? I don’t know for sure because I am just repeating what I have learned. But it seems to be to choose between self-love(RA’s path) and self-sacrifice.

According to the book I am reading, everything we can perceive is of the Self, RA is not wrong(which means all this universe that we perceive is within us!). But things are not purely of our imagination, there are really(for lack of a better term) external things(or, rather, external Nature). But we cannot perceive them, we can only perceive the effect of them on us, and in our current dead state we project them outside(or, rather, inside us) and think these phenomenal things truly existing.

9

And what is it to be one with something? This is a serious question. Do you feel one with anything? Or do you feel that you are basically an independent agent doing the best you can?

One can connect with another person and feel “at one” in that sense, or connect with a group and have feel at one in that sense. But are you really at one in a the deeper sense with anything outside your self? Maybe not.

I would say that it is through interior exploration, and knowing the phenomenal world from the inside out, that one feels a true sense of oneness. And as the passage above describes, this becomes real as a result of seeking light and love with every fiber of your being.

Well in fact then maybe yes, since everything would be inside us, se we are one with everything

11

Yes, you can say that on a theoretical level. But I’m asking if you can experience this through logic. My view is that, to experience this–not just talk about it–one must find it within the self, in person, through inner awareness.

According to Ra, the next step expected by them is being one with all there is(I will refer to it as all matter, by the idea of matter I mean the indivisible smallest Light particle, or rather, Light Itself?)So I think the “being one with” spoken of by Ra means incorporating the following as one’s own self:1. matter external to my current own self(meaning the matter is part of my body now and it is a mutual unity, that matter is me and I am that matter in the literal sense, just like some UFOs are the extentions of occupants’ bodies, I can have sensations through them)2. other selves, meaning their senses, feelings, intellectual activities are indirectly experienced as my own(I say indirectly because I think to retain one’s individuality and become one with another individuality is a contradiction by definition and we can only understand each other and can only be one with the All-Self. This is evidenced by the fact that we cannot experience Ra’s pleasures and sufferings and intellectual activities and Ra seems also not to be able to experience ours because we have different higher selves, even different mind/body/spirit totalities? Which means we can never ever on any point of the evolution path(until one with the All-Self) be called one with another in the sense of we could with matter). Also think about Ra’s unity with the Creator/Self, when they achieve that, we will not thusly, by necessity of the oneness, at the same time, achieve that too.

To get back to the ”be one with” issue, I think the true oneness is a state in which I cannot have pleasures or sufferings apart from others. According to the book I am currently reading, this can only be achieved by being in another(as the Bible said, God shall be all in all). Currently I do not know what this “all in all” implicates, but if this could achieve the state where “I cannot have pleasure or sufferings apart from others”(note by saying others, it means that there are still individualities), I think it is a better oneness than Ra’s claimed oneness. Because Ra’s oneness is a lonely oneness. Why I say it is a lonely oneness? Because only by truly losing one’s individuality/identity(as Ra said in 16.22) can Ra’s oneness with the All-Self be achieved. That could be called become the Creator in the literal sense but that is not “being one with” in my opinion. After becoming the Creator, one is the Creator but is not one with the Creator(unless you insist the Creator itself is one with the Creator itself). While by being all in all, I am others but also I am I. This seems to be a more lively oneness.

Personally, I didn’t notice them incorporating much of anything into themselves. I find their idea of oneness to be about becoming ever more deeply aware and clear about what is, and they find the truth of this within themselves. (Although they might have read some books about it at some time in the past, and they undoubtedly cogitated about it as well.) They say this leads to something like absolute love. It’s absolute love that is oneness, and an individual entity can become one with this as it comes to know itself entirely and love itself entirely and allow that which is not of love (within itself) to become love.

I recalled these words:

82.14 we cannot, with surety, say there is no distortion as we speak of specific occurrences of which we were not consciously a part.

15

This passage adds some more context to the general idea of collaborating with the soul, in terms of understanding the pre-incarnative planning.

S

No. I have another question, though. How much spiritual progress can be done on a subconscious level, as opposed to a combination of consciousness and subconsciousness working together? Can you give me a number level or a … that can be reached on subconscious completely or through a dream state or something like that?

Latwii

I am Latwii, and am aware of your query, my sister. Here we find that the response to this query may be that which surprises, much as this illusion is that which hides the truth and which surprises the seeker when it finds the truth. Indeed, my sister, we would suggest that the spiritual treasures which may be gained in your illusion are very infrequently gained in a conscious manner. The conscious assessment of spiritual progress is an attempt which is most futile. For within your illusion, the treasures of the one Creator are hidden beneath what may be called the veil of forgetting. And as you move through the illusion and encounter those situations which are yours to encounter, you shall deal with them in one manner or another and shall consciously register the effects within your mind and shall count the gain and note the loss and shall feel satisfaction or dismay. But in truth, that which has been gained of a spiritual nature has eluded the notice of the conscious mind.

It is as though the merchant who buys and sells the goods stores in his vault the gold of trade and measures his success by the gold, its purity and weight, and when the day finally comes that this entity passes from this incarnation and reads his own book of life, he will find that it was not the gold that was stored, not its purity, not its weight that is of importance in his life. Yet it was the manner in which the transactions were conducted with the other selves, the love that was given, the love that was received.

It is so with the life of each. Each counts the spiritual gold by the definition which each provides for the self. Yet, as you move within an illusion, so is the description of spiritual gold most illusory. That which is true value in the metaphysical sense is indeed stored up within your being but is of a nature which is quite beyond description and beyond your comprehension for it is not an illusion of comprehension in which you move. There is nothing which is understood completely or even in a small degree. You move within an illusion which requires faith and the will to move. You move in what might be called a darkness of being, seeking the small slivers of light. And it is within the heart of your being that such seeking is motivated and recorded in its true sense.

May we answer you further, my sister?

S

Yeah. I’m not sure if you answered it or not, but I don’t think you did. What I was trying perhaps to get at is, can, by consciousness which is on one path that I am aware of and the troubles in the life that I am going through now and the joys and sorrows that I am consciously aware and I’m consciously aware of the lessons to be learned and the karma to undo and all of that on one level … I also feel that there is another, at least one other part of me that is also on a different spiritual path, moving together or simultaneously with this other outer spiritual path that I’m doing here. And if that is going on at least on two different levels and that they’re learning two different lessons or levels of lessons, could there be more, or am I confusing that, and I shouldn’t even be thinking about the two different levels? Now I only get very brief glimpses of this other level which is the thing that is the only reason that I’m bring it up.

Latwii

I am Latwii, and hopefully we are more aware of your query at this time and shall attempt responses. We may affirm that for each seeker there are truly two levels of seeking. One is that which you have described as the conscious seeking during the incarnation. The other level is the level which more nearly approaches that which may be called the metaphysical truth. That level of being and seeking is what might be called the preincarnative choice. The entity before incarnating, having made contact with the higher self and with the aid of those guides and presences which have been called to the entity in service sets out a plan for the incarnation, a blueprint, shall we say. We, for want of a better term, shall call this plan the pursuit of truth and it is set forth in clear terms yet with general guidelines for accomplishment. Then during the incarnation as the entity begins to awaken to its preincarnatively chosen plan, glimpses of this plan will become apparent as the entity indeed pursues that plan, both upon an unconscious and upon a conscious level. Whether the pursuit of the plan is unconscious or conscious, it is imperfectly perceived. Of course, as the journey of the seeker becomes more and more a conscious portion of the incarnation, the perception becomes clearer, yet in our previous response we intended to state that no matter how clearly the conscious mind is able to perceive the plan for the incarnation, it is the nature of your illusion that such [a] plan is never purely perceived. It is not clearly delineated for the conscious mind, but through the unconscious sets a tone and, shall we say, haunts rather than explicates itself.

May we answer further, my sister?

S

No, that’s fine.
